This proposed Summer Research Program is a competing renewal of the JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG). Part of HIHG’s mission is to train the next generation of researchers. For this reason, it has hosted, for the last five years, the JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences (JJ Vance internship), a program that has offered rising seniors from Miami-area high schools a unique opportunity to be directly involved in scientific research. The program has been highly successful, receiving a total of 541 applications during the 5-year funding period from 94 different high schools in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, for only 12-13 positions per year. Of the 63 selected interns during this time, 47% were Hispanic/Latino, 15% were African American, 30% were white non-Hispanic and 8% were Asian. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of students that have graduated from high school (two classes are still in high school) have attended college, and STEM majors represent 87% of the ex-interns’ college major fields of study with 20% currently attending additional graduate study. The programs’ design incorporates the student into ongoing working research groups led by faculty members at the HIHG, focusing on a hands-on and mentoring experience. We strive to create a passion for science, for research; to enable the student to experience not only the creativity of science but understand what career steps it takes to get them there. We offer both laboratory as well as a computer-based (bioinformatics, statistical genetics, data- management programming) experience.

该提议的夏季研究计划是约翰·P·霍斯曼人类基因组学研究所（HIHG）的JJ Vance Memorial夏季介绍生物学和计算科学的互动续签。 HIHG任务的一部分是培训下一代研究人员。因此，在过去的五年中，它主持了生物学和计算科学（JJ Vance）实习的JJ Vance Memorial Summer介绍，该计划为迈阿密地区高中提供了一个直接参与科学研究的独特机会。该计划非常成功，在迈阿密戴德（Miami-Dade）和布劳沃德（Broward）县的94所不同高中的5年资金期间总共获得了541项申请，每年仅12-13个职位。在此期间，有47％的西班牙裔/拉丁裔中有47％是非裔美国人，有15％是白人非西班牙裔，亚洲人为8％。从高中毕业的学生中有百分之九十七（97％）上大学，STEM专业的学生占前 - 英国大学主要研究领域的87％，目前有20％的研究生学习。该计划的设计将学生纳入了HIHG教职员工领导的正在进行的工作研究小组，重点是动手和心理体验。我们努力创造对科学和研究的热情。使学生不仅能够体验科学的创造力，而且可以了解将他们带到那里所需的职业步骤。我们提供实验室以及基于计算机的（生物信息学，统计遗传学，数据管理程序）的经验。
