DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): University of Colorado Denver has a successful undergraduate (UG) student diversity research short-term internship program. Better known as GEMS (Graduate Experiences for Multicultural Students), it pairs UG students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds with lab mentors. Over the past 10 years, 101 UG students participated: 27 are still UG (85% will apply to professional schools); 74 have graduated, 49 are in some health professional school or have a health-professional degree for a success rate of 66%. The Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) launched the Colorado Clinical Translational Science Institute (CCTSI) to build infrastructure for educational resources/enhancement of translational research. The CCTSI will partner with the GEMS program. In this new R25 we request funds to continue (and replace) the 10 year-old NHLBI-funded T35 GEMS and provide experiences to 10 UG and 2 health professional students. We propose several aims: 1.expose students to research careers by immersion in laboratories with basic or physician scientists; 2. expose students to quantitative and analytical skills; 3. improve student comprehension of science by participation in brown bags covering several topics; 4. expose students to science topics through research seminars; 5. increase awareness of clinical/translational research by shadowing physician scientists at the clinic; 6. create a website in partnership with the CCTSI to track students. With this award, we will continue to stimulate students from diverse backgrounds to pursue health-related careers.

描述(由申请人提供)：科罗拉多大学丹佛分校有一个成功的本科生(UG)学生多样性研究短期实习计划。它更为人所知的是GEM(多元文化学生的研究生体验)，它将来自不同和弱势背景的UG学生与实验室导师配对。在过去的10年里，101名UG学生参与其中：27名UG学生(85%将申请专业学校)；74名已毕业，49名在一些卫生专业学校或拥有卫生专业学位，成功率为66%。临床转化科学奖(CTSA)发起了科罗拉多州临床转化科学研究所(CCTSI)，以建设教育资源/加强转化研究的基础设施。CCTSI将与GEMS计划合作。在这个新的R25中，我们申请资金来继续(和取代)已有10年历史的NHLBI资助的T35宝石，并为10名UG和2名健康专业学生提供经验。我们提出了几个目标：1.让学生通过与基础或内科科学家一起沉浸在实验室中来接触研究生涯；2.让学生接触到定量和分析技能；3.通过参与涵盖几个主题的棕色袋子来提高学生对科学的理解；4.通过研究研讨会让学生接触到科学主题；5.通过跟踪诊所的内科科学家来提高临床/转化性研究的意识；6.与CCTSI合作创建一个网站来跟踪学生。通过这个奖项，我们将继续鼓励来自不同背景的学生追求与健康相关的职业。
