Project Summary The current proposal is to support a Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) in Neuroscience mentored by Rutgers University research faculty. The program has three primary goals: (1) To increase student knowledge and appreciation of basic biological research by providing a closely-mentored, hands-on research experience; (2) To increase student knowledge and interest in pursuing careers in research through career development and educational activities; (3) To provide continued advice, support and guidance to program alumni to facilitate post-program career planning and implementation. Twelve undergraduates will be admitted to our program each year beginning 2018. Special consideration will be given to students from economically and/or socially disadvantaged backgrounds including under- represented minority applicants, first-generation college students, and those with limited research experience or opportunities at their present colleges to generate a deep and diverse pool of potential future scientists. The research component of the proposed SURP involves hands-on experimentation in labs with active, nationally recognized and funded research programs in Neuroscience on the Piscataway and New Brunswick campuses of Rutgers Universities. The infrastructure and general organization of the proposed NIH Summer Research Experience program will be based on an existing program that has been in place for 21 years. Students will work on their own independent research projects involving cutting-edge molecular, genetic and genomic approaches under the close guidance and supervision of mentors, postdocs or senior graduate students in their host labs. The proposed SURP is designed to integrate student research experiences and mentoring with career development and also includes training in research ethics. Student activities include weekly meetings attended by scientists from our campus and from the professional community to discuss their education and careers including traditional and non-traditional paths. Each year students will present the results of their summer research projects in a symposium that is open to scientists on campus and members of the general public. The mentors who will be supervising the students study neurological and neurodegenerative disease including Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, lysosomal disease, sensory loss, epilepsy, and stroke. The multidisciplinary research focus of the faculty mentors on the cellular, molecular, and genetic processes underlying developmental and degeneration of the nervous system has implications for the etiology, pathogenesis and progression of neurological disorders.

项目摘要 目前的建议是支持神经科学的暑期本科生研究计划（SURP） 由罗格斯大学研究人员指导。该方案有三个主要目标：（1）增加 学生的基本生物学研究的知识和欣赏，通过提供一个密切指导，动手 研究经验;（2）增加学生的知识和对从事研究工作的兴趣 通过职业发展和教育活动;（3）提供持续的建议，支持和 指导计划校友，以促进计划后的职业规划和实施。十二 本科生将被录取到我们的计划，每年开始2018年。将特别考虑 提供给来自经济和/或社会弱势背景的学生，包括 代表少数民族申请人，第一代大学生，以及那些研究有限的人 在他们目前的大学的经验或机会，以产生一个深刻的和多样化的潜在的未来池 科学家拟议的SURP的研究部分涉及在实验室进行的动手实验， 积极的，国家认可和资助的研究计划，在神经科学的皮斯卡特维和新的 罗格斯大学的不伦瑞克校区。建议的基础设施和一般组织 NIH暑期研究体验计划将基于一个现有的计划，该计划已经到位， 21年了学生将从事自己的独立研究项目，涉及尖端分子， 在导师、博士后或高级研究员的密切指导和监督下， 研究生在他们的实验室里。拟议的SURP旨在整合学生的研究 经验和指导与职业发展，还包括在研究道德的培训。学生 活动包括来自我们校园和专业的科学家参加的每周会议 社区讨论他们的教育和职业，包括传统和非传统途径。每年 学生们将在一个对科学家开放的研讨会上展示他们夏季研究项目的成果 在校园里和公众中。指导学生学习的导师 神经系统和神经退行性疾病，包括阿尔茨海默氏症、多发性硬化症、脑外伤 损伤、脊髓损伤、溶酶体疾病、感觉丧失、癫痫和中风。多学科 教师导师的研究重点是细胞，分子和遗传过程的基础 神经系统的发育和退化对病因学、发病机制和 神经系统疾病的进展。
