DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This research education program offers short-term support to underrepresented or disadvantaged undergraduate and medical school students to provide them with career opportunities in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic or sleep research. The research activity will expose trainees to the excitement, challenges and rewards of a career in biomedical research that are not otherwise available in their regular course of study. The Case short term HLB program will provide mentored research training with outstanding investigators in these four areas to 12 undergraduates and 8 medical students each year. The overall goal of this training program is to increase diversity among students who pursue academic careers in medicine and science, particularly in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep research. This goal will be pursued by 1) helping trainees develop research skills, identity with the scientific profession and confidence in a research environment through well structured, mentored short term experiences that lay the foundation for biomedical research in clinical and bench settings, 2) providing exposure to other areas and leaders in research with guest lectures, student presentations and social activities. Undergraduates from around the nation will be selected from more than 100 or more online applications each year after competitive review, and matched in researchers for 2-3 months on a full time basis as summer research trainees. Medical students largely from this institution will be selected on the basis of the quality of the research proposal, the strength of the advisor as a research mentor and role model and the potential for a positive research experience and spend 2-3 consecutive full time months during the summer. Both groups of trainees will attend common weekly sessions and interact to build a community of peers. Our faculty lead outstanding programs that encompass basic, translational, clinical, population-based research programs in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep research, and each has an outstanding training record and strong interest in working with students. Our evaluation system allows us to continuously improve our training program, and our database and tracking plan highlights the achievements and career outcomes of our trainees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The CWRU Short-Term Heart Lung and Blood Research Opportunities program will provide key support for underrepresented minority and disadvantaged undergraduate and medical students in research education in order to expose students to biomedical challenges in cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic and sleep research. This experience, coupled with additional activities will strengthen their confidence as researchers, bolster their competiveness for subsequent graduate and medical programs, and encourage students to continue academic research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究教育计划为代表性不足或处境不利的本科生和医学院学生提供短期支持，为他们提供心血管，肺，血液或睡眠研究方面的职业机会。这项研究活动将使受训者接触到生物医学研究事业的兴奋、挑战和回报，而这些在他们的常规课程中是无法获得的。Case短期HLB项目每年将为12名本科生和8名医学生提供这四个领域优秀研究者的指导研究培训。该培训计划的总体目标是增加追求医学和科学学术事业的学生的多样性，特别是在心血管、肺、血液和睡眠研究方面。这一目标将通过以下方式实现：1)通过结构化的、有指导的短期经验，帮助受训者发展研究技能，认同科学专业，并在研究环境中树立信心，为临床和实验环境中的生物医学研究奠定基础；2)通过客座讲座、学生演讲和社会活动，让受训者接触其他领域和研究领域的领导者。每年将从100多份网上申请中择优选拔全国大学生，经过竞争性评审，并在研究人员中进行2-3个月的全日制暑期研修生匹配。主要来自该机构的医学生将根据研究计划的质量、导师作为研究导师和榜样的实力以及积极研究经验的潜力进行选择，并在夏季连续花2-3个月的全职时间。两组学员将参加共同的每周会议，并相互作用，以建立一个同龄人的社区。我们的教师领导着优秀的项目，包括心血管、肺、血液学和睡眠研究的基础、转化、临床、基于人群的研究项目，每个人都有出色的培训记录和与学生合作的强烈兴趣。我们的评估系统使我们能够不断改进我们的培训计划，我们的数据库和跟踪计划突出了我们的学员的成就和职业成果。公共卫生相关性：CWRU短期心肺和血液研究机会计划将为代表性不足的少数民族和弱势本科生和医学院学生提供研究教育的关键支持，以使学生接触心血管、肺、血液和睡眠研究方面的生物医学挑战。这种经历，加上额外的活动，将增强他们作为研究人员的信心，增强他们在后续研究生和医学课程中的竞争力，并鼓励学生继续进行学术研究。（摘要结束）
