Colorado Summer Research Training for Princeton and Notre Dame Undergraduate Dive

描述(由申请者提供)：这一短期研究教育项目的具体目标是为普林斯顿大学和圣母大学生物医学研究专业的不同和代表性不足的本科生(“多样性学生”)提供一个鼓舞人心的、深入的、强化的、增强视角的和转变的早期接触科罗拉多大学医学院肺部研究的机会。我们的项目设计将是每年从普林斯顿大学和圣母大学分别招聘2名实习生-这两所大学都是一流的大学，都没有自己的医学院。经过每所大学一个多元化和包容性的委员会的挑选，每个受训人员将在实验室里与一位著名的肺部研究人员/导师一起工作12个暑假周。每个实习生将帮助设计他们的项目，进行实践研究，参加关于研究的讲座(例如数据分析、海报演示方法和研究伦理)，参加互补的临床会议，从多元化的教职员工和学生那里获得与健康职业相关的职业建议，在临床环境中影子肺科医生，并融入我们学校的多元化活动和社交社区。我们将这两所著名大学的优秀多元化学生引入科罗拉多大学的创新特色是基于我们过去9年来在普林斯顿大学夏季研究奖学金(“菲茨杰拉德研究员”)招聘和培训非多元化本科生方面的成功经验以及我们与圣母大学的密切关系。我们还将把我们的研究计划与肺部临床医学的经验完全结合起来，以提供职业洞察力，并增加我们学员研究努力的意义和相关性。我们的项目主任将是John E.Repine医学博士，他是一名肺部内科医生兼科学家，曾指导我们的医学生研究项目长达20年之久，并帮助创建了我们现有的普林斯顿大学-韦伯-韦林暑期研究项目。此外，每位学员还将与我们医学院招生副院长、肺部内科医生、科学家、榜样的Robert A.Winn医学博士，以及另一位榜样、我们的MSTP项目主任Arthur Gutierrez-Hartmann医学博士有广泛的接触。短期和长期结果将由我们评估中心负责人Gretchen Guiton博士独立评估。我们计划的意义将是增加这两所优秀学校中真正具有特殊多样性的学生对健康科学专业和研究职业的兴趣和准备，使这些学生更有可能(1)被卓越的以研究为导向的医学和其他专业学校录取，(2)参与研究，作为其未来专业教育和研究生培训的一部分，以及(3)在学术和工业环境中寻求与健康相关的研究职业。 与公共健康相关：我们的计划将满足对有趣的、招募更多多元化学生进入卫生专业和研究职业的需求。我们的项目将从普林斯顿大学和圣母大学招募和培训四名来自科罗拉多大学肺部研究的本科生，为期12个暑假周。其重要意义将是增加这些高素质学生在卫生专业和医学研究领域接受更多培训和从事更多职业的可能性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The specific aim of this short-term research education program is to provide an inspirational, in-depth, intensive, perspective-enhancing and -transforming early exposure to pulmonary research at the University of Colorado School of Medicine for diverse and underrepresented undergraduate students in biomedical research ("diversity students") from Princeton University and the University of Notre Dame. Our program design will be each year to recruit 2 trainees from Princeton University and 2 from the University of Notre Dame - both premier universities that do not have their own medical schools. After selection by a diverse and inclusive committee at each university, each trainee will work in the laboratory for 12 summer weeks with a regarded pulmonary investigator/mentor. Each trainee will help design their project, perform hands-on research, attend lectures about research (e.g. data analysis, poster presentation approaches, and research ethics), participate in complementary clinical conferences, receive health professions related career advice from faculty and students of diversity, shadow pulmonary physicians in clinical settings, and be integrated into our school's diversity activities and social community. The innovative features of our program of bringing highly-talented diversity students from these two prestigious universities to the University of Colorado is based on our prior successful experience in recruiting and training non-diversity undergraduate students from Princeton University in summer research fellowships ("Fitzgerald Fellows") for the last 9 years and our close relationship with the University of Notre Dame. We will also fully integrate our research program with an experience in pulmonary clinical medicine to provide career insights and increase the meaningfulness and relevance of the research effort of our trainees. Our program director will be John E. Repine, MD - a pulmonary physician-scientist who directed our Medical Student Research Program for two decades and helped create our existing Princeton University- Webb-Waring summer research program. In addition, each trainee will have extensive contact with Robert A. Winn, MD, a pulmonary physician-scientist-role model and our Associate Dean of Medical School Admissions, and Arthur Gutierrez-Hartmann, MD, another role model and our MSTP Program Director. Short- and long-term outcomes will be assessed independently by Gretchen Guiton, PhD, the Head of our Evaluation Center. The significance of our program will be to increase the interest and preparation for health science professional and research careers of the truly exceptional diversity students from these two outstanding schools making these students more likely to (1) be accepted to preeminent research oriented medical and other professional schools, (2) participate in research as part of their future professional education and postgraduate training, and (3) seek careers in health related research in academic and industrial settings. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our program will address the need for interesting and recruiting more students of diversity into careers in the health professions and research. Our program will recruit and train four undergraduate students of diversity from Princeton University and the University of Notre Dame in pulmonary research at the University of Colorado for 12 summer weeks each year. The significance will be to increase the likelihood that these high quality students will pursue additional training and careers in the health professions and medical research.
