RESEARCH & RELATED Other Project Information 6. Project Summary/Abstract This is a competitive renewal of the Short-Term Research Training for Increasing Diversity in Health-Related Research (R25) that we entitled, ¿Summer Multicultural Advanced Research Training (SMART)¿. This proposal continues a highly successful effort to encourage and recruit underrepresented and disadvantaged undergraduate students to pursue careers in the biomedical sciences by providing a ten week summer traineeship in a research environment that focuses on health disparities and chronic diseases that affect minority populations (e.g. cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and glaucoma). This program involves a multidisciplinary approach incorporating faculty from among the biomedical science division of the health science center. Trainees attend workshops and lectures on: Responsible Conduct of Research including issues on scientific misconduct, plagiarism, laboratory safety and practice, Animal handling and Animal Rights. Students will take a class on ¿Introduction to Cardiovascular Science¿ and receive two hours of credit toward their degrees at their home institutions. Each student selects a research mentor from the participating faculty after reviewing their research programs and listening to faculty presentations. Students and faculty design and plan a research project that can be accomplished within the ten-week period. All students must complete an abstract suitable for submission and presentation at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) that is held each Fall. Students gain experience in: 1) generating a hypothesis; 2) testing their hypothesis through research experimentation; 3) using new research methodology; 4) evaluating and analyzing data using computer techniques, and 5) presenting their findings in a written abstract and oral presentation at the end of the training period. The overall effect of these activities is to create a sense of becoming a member of the scientific research community. This sense is furthered by student participation in their mentor's research group and departmental weekly seminar meetings. A Role Model Seminar is also presented as a part of this summer experience. Students and faculty mentors each evaluate the program and each other at the end of the program. An external evaluator is used to help assess the program process as well as program outcomes. Students will be tracked throughout their participation in the program and after by formal mailed questionnaires, email follow- ups and the use of a list serve. Students will be recruited to return to the McNair summer program, if still eligible, and for entry into graduate school. Program success will ultimately be measured by the numbers of students who enter biomedical science graduate programs and research as a career. RESEARCH & RELATED Other Project Information 7. Project Narrative This program entitled, "Summer Multicultural Advanced Research Training" or SMART is part of an overall effort by our institution to increase the numbers of underrepresented and disadvantaged students into masters and doctoral programs in biomedical sciences. It is a ten week summer research training experience with specific emphasis on research career development in cardiovascular and related disorders. They will be in research laboratories most of their time, attend workshops on responsible conduct of research and attend a weekly course on cardiovascular science.

研究及相关其他项目信息 6.项目总结/摘要 这是短期研究培训的竞争性更新，以增加健康相关领域的多样性。 研究（R25），我们题为，<$夏季多元文化高级研究培训（SMART）<$<$。这 建议继续非常成功地努力鼓励和征聘任职人数不足和处境不利的人 通过提供为期十周的暑期课程， 在研究环境中的培训，重点是健康差距和慢性疾病，影响 少数人群（例如心血管疾病、高血压、肥胖症、糖尿病、中风、阿尔茨海默病 和青光眼）。该计划涉及多学科的方法，包括教师之间的 健康科学中心的生物医学科学部门。受训人员参加以下方面的讲习班和讲座： 负责任的研究行为，包括科学不端行为，剽窃，实验室安全和 实践，动物处理和动物权利。学生将参加心血管导论课程 科学和获得两个小时的信贷对他们的学位在他们的家庭机构。每个学生选择 一位来自参与教师的研究导师在审查了他们的研究计划并听取了教师的意见后， 介绍。学生和教师设计和计划一个研究项目，可以在 十周的时间。所有学生必须完成一份适合提交和在 每年秋季举行的少数民族学生生物医学研究年会（ABRCMS）。学生 获得以下经验：1）提出假设; 2）通过研究实验验证假设; 3） 使用新的研究方法; 4）使用计算机技术评估和分析数据，以及5） 在培训期结束时，以书面摘要和口头报告的形式介绍他们的调查结果。的 这些活动的总体效果是创造一种成为科学研究一员的感觉 社区学生参与导师的研究小组和部门， 每周研讨会。一个榜样研讨会也提出了作为今年夏天的经验的一部分。 学生和教师导师各自评估该计划，并在该计划结束时互相。一个 外部评估人员用于帮助评估方案进程和方案成果。学生将 在他们参与该计划的整个过程中进行跟踪，之后通过正式的邮寄问卷进行跟踪，电子邮件如下- UPS和使用列表服务。学生将被招募回到麦克奈尔夏季计划，如果仍然 有资格，并进入研究生院。计划的成功最终将由以下数字来衡量： 进入生物医学科学研究生课程和研究作为职业的学生。研究及相关其他项目信息 7.项目叙述 这项计划题为“夏季多元文化高级研究培训”或SMART是一个整体的一部分， 我们的机构努力增加代表性不足和弱势学生进入硕士学位的人数 和生物医学博士课程。这是一个为期十周的夏季研究培训经验， 特别强调心血管和相关疾病的研究职业发展。他们将在 他们大部分时间都在研究实验室工作，参加关于负责任地进行研究的讲习班，并参加 心血管科学每周课程。
