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(由申请者提供)：这个项目将在俄勒冈大学(UO)创建一个暑期研究项目，在5年内每年支持15名本科生进行暑期研究项目。该计划旨在为本科生提供参与专注于儿童健康和人类发展的研究项目的机会，长期目标是为有才华的学生提供生物医学研究方面的职业机会。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队伍多样化，为接触研究设施和经验有限的学生提供更多的研究职业机会，以及培训研究生和博士后研究员成为有效的导师。针对个人实习生的PIS目标包括：a)获得以经验为基础的科学研究教育；b)培养对实验方法、战略设计和创造性推理的欣赏；c)发展方法技能；d)增强演绎和归纳推理技能；e)增强科学沟通能力；f)通过与教师、博士后研究员和研究生的专业和社会互动增强个人信心；g)获得从事生物医学研究事业的灵感。NICHD R25暑期研究项目实习生将由主办教师密切指导，他们将与在座的研究生和博士后研究人员并肩工作。实习生将有大量机会与NICHD R25项目和其他校园暑期研究项目的教职员工、博士后、研究生、密歇根大学本科生和实习生同事互动。这项计划将补充PIS目前由国家科学基金会资助的分子生物科学方面的REU计划。除了密切指导的研究项目外，计划活动还包括指导研讨会、实习生、导师和教师的欢迎培训、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、本科生研究研讨会和项目评估。
