DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will create a Summer Research Program at the University of Oregon (UO), supporting 15 undergraduate students per year for 5 years for summer research projects. The program is designed to provide opportunities for undergraduates to participate in research projects that focus on child health and human development, with the long range goal of enhancing career opportunities for talented students in biomedical research. The principal aims of the program include contributing to national efforts to diversify the pool of highly trained biomedical researchers, enhancing access to research careers for students with limited access to research facilities and experience; and training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to be effective mentors. The PIs objectives for individual interns include: a) acquiring experience-based education in science research; b) developing appreciation of experimental approaches, strategic design, and creative reasoning; c) developing methodological skills; d) enhancing deductive and inductive reasoning skills; e) enhancing scientific communication skills; f) boosting personal confidence by professional and social interactions with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, and g) gaining inspiration to pursue a career in biomedical research. The NICHD R25 Summer Research Program interns will be closely mentored by host faculty, and they will work side by side with graduate and postdoctoral researchers at the bench. Interns will have abundant opportunities to interact with faculty, postdocs, graduate students, UO undergraduates, and fellow interns in the NICHD R25 program and other campus summer research programs. This program would complement the PIs' current REU Program in Molecular Biosciences funded by the National Science Foundation. Program activities include, in addition to the closely mentored research project, a Mentoring Workshop, Welcoming Orientation for interns, mentors, and faculty, a Professional Development Workshop Series, a Faculty Seminar and Discussion Series, Intern Progress Reports, Feedback and Evaluation Meetings, a weekly Social hour, Field trips, cultural, social and recreational activities, an Undergraduate Research Symposium, and Program Evaluation.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将在俄勒冈州（UO）大学创建一个夏季研究项目，每年支持15名本科生进行为期5年的夏季研究项目。该计划旨在为本科生提供机会，参与以儿童健康和人类发展为重点的研究项目，其长期目标是为生物医学研究方面有才华的学生提供就业机会。该计划的主要目标包括促进国家努力使训练有素的生物医学研究人员的人才库多样化，加强对研究设施和经验有限的学生的研究职业的访问;并培训研究生和博士后研究员成为有效的导师。个人实习生的PI目标包括：a）获得基于经验的科学研究教育; B）培养对实验方法，战略设计和创造性推理的欣赏; c）培养方法技能; d）提高演绎和归纳推理技能; e）提高科学沟通技能; f）通过与教师，博士后研究员和研究生的专业和社会互动来增强个人信心，g）获得从事生物医学研究的灵感。NICHD R25暑期研究项目实习生将由主办教师密切指导，他们将与研究生和博士后研究人员并肩工作。实习生将有丰富的机会与教师，博士后，研究生，UO本科生，并在NICHD R25计划和其他校园暑期研究项目的实习生进行互动。该计划将补充PI目前由国家科学基金会资助的分子生物科学REU计划。计划活动包括，除了密切指导的研究项目，指导研讨会，欢迎实习生，导师和教师的方向，专业发展研讨会系列，教师研讨会和讨论系列，实习生进度报告，反馈和评估会议，每周社交小时，实地考察，文化，社交和娱乐活动，本科研究研讨会和计划评估。
