DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is submitted to request continued support for 14 undergraduate students/yr who are members of minority groups under-represented in the biological sciences and are participating in the 10-week Summer Honors Undergraduate Research Program (SHURP) of the Division of Medical Sciences. To date, this Program has 319 alumni, including 122 trainees funded by this grant between 1996 and 2005. 97% of them are continuing or planning to continue training in the biological sciences. The goals are: (1) to increase students' knowledge of biomedical research and career choices, (2) to improve their research-related skills and confidence in those skills, (3) to stimulate their interest in pursuing careers in biomedical research, especially in areas of interest to NHLBI, (4) to improve the students' ability to select an appropriate program and to prepare a successful application, (5) to provide intra-program and post-program mentoring, and (6) to assist the program alumni in building a professional network. The major focus of the Program is research in laboratories of Harvard Medical School faculty members who are successful research mentors in the Program and who conduct studies in the areas of cardiac/cardiopulmonary function, hematology, and cell and molecular biology related to cardiac and vascular functions. Laboratory research is supplemented by weekly student-faculty research discussion seminars, training in the Responsible Conduct of Research, career exploration and development workshops, participation in the Leadership Alliance Symposium, mentoring by graduate students, and other opportunities to meet faculty and graduate and medical students. Applicants are recruited nationwide through personal contacts with undergraduate program directors and SHURP alumni, promotion of the program at minority science student research or career conferences, mailings to science program directors, and print and on-line advertisements. Students are selected from over 400 applicants/yr on the basis of their interest in research, intellectual competence, and teacher assessment of cognitive and personal skills. The program is evaluated by the trainees, faculty research mentors, trainees' college science advisors and by an External Advisory Committee. Follow-up activities include regular contact to provide advice and networking opportunities, a twice-yearly alumni newsletter, a periodically-updated alumni directory, campus visits, and informal telephone, letter, and email contacts with program alumni.

描述（由申请人提供）：该申请提交给对14名本科生/年的持续支持，这些本科生/年成员是生物科学中人数不足的少数群体的成员，并参加了10周的夏季荣誉本科研究计划（SHURP）。迄今为止，该计划有319名校友，其中包括1996年至2005年这笔赠款资助的122名学员。其中97％的人正在继续或计划继续在生物科学领域进行培训。目标是：（1）提高学生对生物医学研究和职业选择的了解，（2）提高其研究相关的技能和对这些技能的信心，（3）刺激他们从事生物医学研究中的职业兴趣，尤其是在NHLBI感兴趣的领域，尤其是在NHLBI领域，（4），（4）提高学生的能力，以选择适当的计划，并提供一项成功的应用程序（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）建立专业网络的校友。该计划的主要重点是在哈佛医学院教职员工的实验室中进行研究，他们是该计划中成功的研究导师，并在心脏/心肺功能，血液学以及细胞以及与心脏和血管功能有关的分子生物学领域进行研究。每周的学生研究讨论研讨会，负责任的研究，职业探索和发展研讨会，参与领导力联盟专题讨论会，研究生的指导以及其他机会与教师和研究生和医学生的机会。申请人是通过与本科课程董事的个人联系和SHURP校友，在少数民族科学学生研究或职业会议上促进该计划的申请人，邮寄给科学计划导演的邮件，以及印刷和在线广告。根据对研究，智力能力以及对认知和个人技能的教师评估的兴趣，从400多名申请人/年中选择了学生。该计划由学员，教职员工研究员，学员的大学科学顾问以及外部咨询委员会评估。后续活动包括定期联系以提供建议和网络机会，每年两次的校友通讯，定期升级的校友目录，校园访问以及与计划校友的非正式电话，信函和电子邮件联系。
