DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research at an early stage of medical education is the best predictor of a future career in research. The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia is especially strong in research focusing on the basic and applied features of diabetes, kidney and endocrinologic diseases. Investigation of the health issues dealing with the mandate of NIDDK requires preparations for the next generation of investigators and this application aims to introduce our medical students to research in these fields mentored by exceptional faculty with proven track record of excellence in research and funding. The curriculum at P &S has changed such that every student is now required to produce a scholarly effort and this proposal will support students performing research either during the summer months between the 1st and 2nd years or later. Students at P& S have traditionally been active in research and this application will provide them with a structured program that includes the research as well as a series of seminars covering topics in modern biomedical research. In addition they will be required to attend a series of lectures in the Responsible Conduct of Research. The Program Director will be assisted in managing the Program by an External and an Internal Advisory Committees. Applying students will be chosen by a Recruitment and Admission Committee and their progress in research will be followed by a Mentoring Committee. Finally, after they complete their research they will be advised by a Career Development committee that will aid them in making important career decisions. Recruitment of under-represented minorities, among mentors as well as students, is strongly supported by an ongoing commitment of the College and by targeted efforts of the Program. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The burden of diabetes and other hormonal diseases, kidney and gastro-intestinal and liver diseases represent some of the major health problems in the US and the world at large. The mandate of NIDDK is to reduce this burden through innovative research. This proposal aims at supporting the research of medical students in these areas through working in laboratories of successful scientists whose aim is to investigate the nature and treatment of these diseases. Early exposure to exciting research is the best inducement for young physicians to enter a career of investigation and thus provide the next generation of researchers

描述(由申请人提供)：在医学教育的早期阶段进行研究是预测未来研究生涯的最佳指标。哥伦比亚大学内科医生和外科医生学院在糖尿病、肾脏和内分泌疾病的基本和应用特征方面的研究尤为强大。对涉及NIDDK任务的健康问题的调查需要为下一代调查人员做好准备，这项申请旨在向我们的医学生介绍这些领域的研究，这些领域的研究由在研究和资金方面拥有卓越记录的杰出教师指导。P&S的课程已经改变，现在要求每个学生都要做出学术努力，这项提议将支持学生在一年级和二年级或更晚的暑期进行研究。P&S的学生传统上一直积极从事研究，这一申请将为他们提供一个结构化的课程，其中包括研究以及一系列涵盖现代生物医学研究主题的研讨会。此外，他们将被要求参加一系列关于负责任的研究行为的讲座。方案主任将由外部和内部咨询委员会协助管理方案。申请学生将由招生和录取委员会挑选，他们的研究进展将由指导委员会跟踪。最后，在他们完成研究后，他们将得到职业发展委员会的建议，该委员会将帮助他们做出重要的职业决策。在导师和学生中招聘代表不足的少数群体，得到学院持续承诺和该方案有针对性的努力的大力支持。 公共卫生相关性：糖尿病和其他荷尔蒙疾病、肾脏疾病、胃肠疾病和肝脏疾病的负担代表了美国和整个世界的一些主要健康问题。NIDDK的任务是通过创新研究来减轻这一负担。这项建议旨在通过在成功科学家的实验室工作来支持医学生在这些领域的研究，他们的目的是调查这些疾病的性质和治疗方法。早期接触令人兴奋的研究是年轻医生进入研究生涯并因此提供下一代研究人员的最佳诱因
