The objective of the program is to provide undergraduate students and research- oriented medical students from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds with a short- term, intensive biomedical laboratory research experience for 8-10 weeks during the summer at the University of Pennsylvania. The long-term aim of the program is to increase the pool of underrepresented students committed to careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic research. Training is provided by a core group of 51 trainers who have extensive experience as mentors to trainees at all levels and whose research interests relate to aspects of the heart, lung, and blood, as well as by a secondary group of more than 50 additional prospective mentors who conduct NHLBI sponsored research. Each trainee devotes approximately 90% of his or her time to hands-on laboratory research, experimental design, data interpretation, directed readings, lab meetings, and journal clubs. Trainees participate in a scientific seminar series presented by University of Pennsylvania faculty, receive supplemental training in academically relevant areas, including scientific presentation skills and the responsible conduct of research, and are provided with a variety of optional peer-networking and career-development activities and workshops. Trainees present their work in at least one formal setting at the end of the program and are encouraged to continue their association with the laboratory; undergraduates may return for a second summer research experience. This proposal seeks to integrate training that was formerly provided separately, via two different NHLBI grants: R25-HL084665 (formerly T35- HL007719) was originally established in 1991 for research-oriented medical students in the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and T35-HL007789 was established in 1993 for undergraduates from a geographically and culturally diverse array of colleges and universities who come to the University of Pennsylvania for the summer. It is expected that the integration of these programs will build on existing strengths and result in an enriched trainee experience.

该项目的目标是为来自不同背景、代表性不足的本科生和研究型医学生提供暑期在宾夕法尼亚大学为期 8-10 周的短期强化生物医学实验室研究经验。该计划的长期目标是增加致力于心血管、肺脏和血液学研究职业的代表性不足的学生群体。培训由 51 名培训师组成的核心小组提供，他们作为各级学员的导师拥有丰富的经验，其研究兴趣涉及心脏、肺和血液方面，以及由 50 多名额外的潜在导师组成的次要小组，他们进行 NHLBI 赞助的研究。每个学员将大约 90% 的时间投入到实践实验室研究、实验设计、数据解释、定向阅读、实验室会议和期刊俱乐部。学员参加由宾夕法尼亚大学教师举办的系列科学研讨会，接受学术相关领域的补充培训，包括科学演示技巧和负责任的研究行为，并提供各种可选的同行网络和职业发展活动和研讨会。课程结束时，学员至少在一种正式场合展示他们的工作，并鼓励学员继续与实验室合作；本科生可能会回来进行第二次暑期研究经历。该提案旨在整合以前通过两项不同的 NHLBI 拨款单独提供的培训：R25-HL084665（以前的 T35-HL007719）最初于 1991 年为宾夕法尼亚大学医学院的研究型医学生设立，而 T35-HL007789 于 1993 年为来自地理和医学领域的本科生设立。 来宾夕法尼亚大学度暑假的来自不同文化背景的学院和大学。预计这些计划的整合将建立在现有优势的基础上，并丰富学员的经验。
