DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to establish a summer program for undergraduates with non-biological sciences backgrounds that will provide cross-discipline training and experiences in combining the physical sciences backgrounds of the participants with concepts and approaches of functional genomics and cell biology to address biomedical research problems. The intended impact of our program is to encourage participating students to pursue graduate education in biomedical sciences, followed by careers in biomedical research. Six students will be selected each year to pursue 10-week research experiences in one of eleven laboratories at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Instruction in functional genomics and cell biology will be provided through workshops and a series of seminars. Students will work as a group on a cross-discipline case study in wound-healing. In addition, students will receive instruction in research ethics, scientific writing, and career opportunities in biomedical sciences. At the conclusion of the summer, students will present their work at a poster session and receive evaluations. Students will be encouraged to publish their results in the Journal of the Ohio Association of Science. To build community among these students, they will participate in a series of social and cultural events. Formative evaluations will be used to alter and fine-tune the Program, and summative evaluations will be carried out at the conclusion of each summer and again, as the participants graduate from their undergraduate institutions, to measure the long-term impact of the Program on the participating students.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议为具有非生物科学背景的本科生建立一个暑期项目，该项目将提供跨学科的培训和经验，将参与者的物理科学背景与功能基因组学和细胞生物学的概念和方法相结合，以解决生物医学研究问题。我们计划的预期影响是鼓励参与的学生追求生物医学科学的研究生教育，其次是生物医学研究的职业生涯。 每年将选出6名学生在辛辛那提大学医学院和辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心的11个实验室之一进行为期10周的研究体验。将通过讲习班和一系列研讨会提供功能基因组学和细胞生物学方面的教学。学生将作为一个跨学科的伤口愈合案例研究小组工作。此外，学生将接受研究伦理，科学写作和生物医学科学的职业机会的指导。在夏季结束时，学生将在海报会议上展示他们的工作，并接受评估。鼓励学生将他们的研究结果发表在《俄亥俄州科学协会杂志》上。 为了在这些学生中建立社区，他们将参加一系列的社会和文化活动。 形成性评估将用于改变和微调该计划，总结性评估将在每个夏天结束时进行，并再次，作为参与者从本科院校毕业，以衡量该计划对参与学生的长期影响。
