 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Summer Research Program builds upon the success 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, and this year has received applications from 62 applicants representing 30 different high schools in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties for only eight positions. Last year, we had 56 students from 24 high schools apply to the program, a steady growth from our start of six applicants in 2009. Since its inception at the HIHG, we have had a total of 201 applicants from 53 different high schools. Of the 38 selected interns during this time, 24% were white non- Hispanic, 26% were Hispanic/Latino, 29% were African-American, 16% were Asian and 5% were other ethnicities. Currently, STEM majors represent 80% of the ex-intern's college major fields of study. Thus, the JJ Vance Internship is reaching a large group of individuals and filling a great need in the highly diverse Miami community. We have established this internship from ground zero in the Miami area. Its rising trajectory of applicants over the years show that it is a established program in the community and that has been obviously successful as it has grown and schools keep sending new students back to apply. We also now have data on successful outcomes, and active mentoring years after the students' summer internship occurred. Given this success and the program's potential, we can no longer run the program trying to accrue year-to-year funding from foundations. We need stability in order to serve the community better, increase the number of students that we can enroll in the program for the program's continued growth., This grant, if funded, would provide us with that stability to continue our highly successful program into the future, and increase the number of participants.

 描述（由应用程序提供）：该拟议的夏季研究计划是基于约翰·P·霍斯曼人类基因组学研究所（HIHG）的JJ Vance Memorial Summer Summer Intership在生物学和计算科学领域的成功。 HIHG任务的一部分是培训下一代研究人员。因此，它托管了最后一个 JJ Vance Vance纪念暑期实习五年（JJ Vance实习），该计划为迈阿密地区高中的老年人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，今年已收到了62份申请，代表迈阿密戴德和布劳沃德县的30个不同高中的申请，仅占8个职位。去年，我们有24所高中的56名学生适用于该计划，这是从2009年开始的六项申请开始的稳定增长。自从HIHG成立以来，我们总共有53所不同高中的201份申请。在此期间的38名实习生中，有24％是白人非西班牙裔，26％是西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人，29％是非裔美国人，16％是亚洲人，其他种族是其他种族。目前，STEM专业占前 - 英国大学主要研究领域的80％。那就是JJ Vance实习正在接触一大批个人并填补 在高度多样化的迈阿密社区中非常需要。我们已经从迈阿密地区的零地面建立了实习。多年来，其应用程序的不断上升轨迹表明，它是社区中建立的计划，并且显然是成功的，随着它的成长，学校不断将新学生送回申请。现在，我们还拥有有关成功成果的数据，并且在学生暑期实习后的积极心理几年。鉴于这一成功和计划的潜力，我们无法再运行该计划，试图从基金会中获得逐年资金。我们需要稳定才能更好地为社区服务，增加我们可以为该计划持续增长的计划的学生人数。，如果资助，这笔赠款将为我们提供这种稳定的稳定性，以继续我们的非常成功的计划进入未来，并增加参与者的数量。
