DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal of the Short-Term Research Training for Increasing Diversity in Health-Related Research (R25) that we entitled, }Summer Multicultural Advanced Research Training (SMART)}. This proposal continues a highly successful effort to encourage and recruit underrepresented and disadvantaged undergraduate students to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences by providing a ten week summer traineeship in a research environment that focuses on health disparities and chronic diseases that affect minority populations (e.g. cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma). This program involves a multidisciplinary approach incorporating faculty from among the biomedical science division of the health science center. Trainees attend workshops and lectures on: Responsible Conduct of Research including issues on scientific misconduct, plagiarism, laboratory safety and practice, Animal handling and Animal Rights. Students will take a class on }Introduction to Cardiovascular Science} and receive two hours of credit toward their degrees at their home institutions. Each student selects a research mentor from the participating faculty after reviewing their research programs and listening to faculty presentations. Students and faculty design and plan a research project that can be accomplished within the ten-week period. All students must complete an abstract suitable for submission and presentation at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) that is held each Fall. Students gain experience in: 1) generating a hypothesis; 2) testing their hypothesis through research experimentation; 3) using new research methodology; 4) evaluating and analyzing data using computer techniques, and 5) presenting their findings in a written abstract and oral presentation at the end of the training period. The overall effect of these activities is to create a sense of becoming a member of the scientific research community. This sense is furthered by student participation in their mentor's research group and departmental weekly seminar meetings. A Role Model Seminar is also presented as a part of this summer experience. Students and faculty mentors each evaluate the program and each other at the end of the program. An external evaluator is used to help assess the program process as well as program outcomes. Students will be tracked throughout their participation in the program and after by formal mailed questionnaires, email follow- ups and the use of a list serve. Students will be recruited to return to the McNair summer program, if still eligible, and for entry into graduate school. Program success will ultimately be measured by the numbers of students who enter biomedical science graduate programs and research as a career. RESEARCH & RELATED Other Project Information 7. Project Narrative This program entitled, "Summer Multicultural Advanced Research Training" or SMART is part of an overall effort by our institution to increase the numbers of underrepresented and disadvantaged students into masters and doctoral programs in biomedical sciences. It is a ten week summer research training experience with specific emphasis on research career development in cardiovascular and related disorders. They will be in research laboratories most of their time, attend workshops on responsible conduct of research and attend a weekly course on cardiovascular science. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是我们对健康相关研究多样性（R25）的短期研究培训的竞争续约，我们有资格，}夏季多元文化高级研究培训（SMART）}。 This proposal continues a highly successful effort to encourage and recruit underrepresented and disadvantaged undergraduate students to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences by providing a ten week summer traineeship in a research environment that focuses on health disparities and chronic diseases that affect minority populations (e.g. cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and青光眼）。该计划涉及一种多学科的方法，该方法结合了健康科学中心生物医学科学系中的教师。学员参加讲习班和讲座：负责任的研究，包括有关科学不当行为，窃，实验室安全和实践，动物处理和动物权利的问题。学生将参加}介绍心血管科学的课程，并在其家庭机构获得两个小时的学分。每个学生在审查了他们的研究计划并聆听教师演讲后，从参与教师中选择一名研究导师。学生和教职员工设计并计划一个可以在十周期间完成的研究项目。所有学生都必须在每年秋天举行的少数民族学生（ABRCMS）的年度生物医学研究会议上完成适合提交和演讲的摘要。学生获得以下经验：1）产生假设； 2）通过研究实验检验其假设； 3）使用新的研究方法； 4）使用计算机技术评估和分析数据，以及5）在培训期结束时以书面的抽象和口头呈现来介绍其发现。这些活动的总体效果是建立成为科学研究界成员的感觉。学生参与他们的导师研究小组和部门每周一次研讨会会议，进一步提高了这种感觉。榜样研讨会也作为本夏季体验的一部分。学生和教职员工在计划结束时各自评估该计划，彼此评估。外部评估者用于帮助评估程序流程以及程序成果。将在整个计划中跟踪学生，并通过正式邮寄问卷，电子邮件跟进和使用列表的使用。如果仍然有资格，将招募学生返回麦克奈尔夏季计划，并进入研究生院。计划的成功最终将通过进入生物医学科学研究生课程和研究作为职业的学生人数来衡量。研究与相关的其他项目信息7。项目叙述为“夏季多元文化高级研究培训”或SMART是我们机构为增加代表性不足和处于弱势群体的学生的总体努力的一部分，成为生物医学科学领域的硕士和博士学位。这是十周的夏季研究培训经验，特别强调心血管和相关疾病的研究职业发展。他们大部分时间都将参加研究实验室，参加负责任的研究的讲习班，并参加每周有关心血管科学的课程。 （抽象的结尾）
