DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Vanderbilt Biomedical Informatics Training Program, in its ninth year of training grant funding from the National Library of Medicine, proposes a Vanderbilt Biomedical Informatics Summer Research Experience Program for five years of support, beginning May 1, 2011. We are confident that through the Summer Research Experience Program, which will operate as part of the Vanderbilt Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) Summer Internship Program, we will provide undergraduate students and high school students with an intensive exposure to biomedical informatics research, thereby encouraging students to consider pursuing research careers in informatics. Now in its eleventh year, the Vanderbilt Summer Internship Program has offered short-term training opportunities to 60 medical, graduate, and undergraduate students, of which 46 were funded by the NLM T15. The proposed 10-week Summer Research Program experiences will expose participants to the breadth and depth of the biomedical informatics field through: a) applied research projects that are closely supervised by faculty, including instruction in the responsible conduct of research and presentations of those projects to DBMI faculty and students; and b) a didactic curriculum, the DBMI Summer Seminar Series, in which our faculty explore the field of biomedical informatics and a range of career options available to students interested in biomedical informatics. Previous DBMI summer interns have published more than 20 papers with their mentors (11 first-author) and several have continued their projects beyond the summer period. Through the Meharry- Vanderbilt Alliance, a strategic alliance formed in 1999 to enhance the educational, scientific, and clinical programs between the two institutions, the program enjoys success in recruiting underrepresented minority students into our Summer Internship Program's T15 Short-Term Training Positions (minority STTPs). From 2009-2010, an administrative supplement to our NLM T15 supported 11 undergraduate students performing research mentored by DBMI faculty through the ARRA-funded Summer Research Experiences program. We have newer educational collaborations with Tennessee State University and Cane Ridge High School (Metro Nashville Public Schools), through which we will recruit undergraduate students and high school students from diverse backgrounds for the proposed Summer Research Program.

描述(由申请人提供)： 范德比尔特生物医学信息学培训计划在国家医学图书馆提供培训赠款资助的第九个年头，提出了范德比尔特生物医学信息学暑期研究体验计划，从2011年5月1日开始，为期五年的支持。我们相信，通过作为范德比尔特生物医学信息学系(DBMI)暑期实习计划一部分的暑期研究体验计划，我们将为本科生和高中生提供深入接触生物医学信息学研究的机会，从而鼓励学生考虑从事信息学研究。范德比尔特大学暑期实习项目现已进入第11个年头，已经为60名医学生、研究生和本科生提供了短期培训机会，其中46人是由NLM T15资助的。拟议的为期10周的暑期研究计划将通过以下方式向参与者展示生物医学信息学领域的广度和深度：a)由教师密切监督的应用研究项目，包括负责任地进行研究的指导，以及向DBMI教职员工和学生介绍这些项目；以及b)教学课程，DBMI暑期研讨会系列，在该课程中，我们的教职员工探索生物医学信息学领域以及对生物医学信息学感兴趣的学生可选择的一系列职业选择。之前的DBMI暑期实习生已经在他们的导师(11名第一作者)的指导下发表了20多篇论文，有几个在暑期结束后继续他们的项目。梅哈里-范德比尔特联盟是1999年成立的一个战略联盟，旨在加强两所院校之间的教育、科学和临床项目，通过该联盟，该项目成功地招募了代表人数较少的少数族裔学生加入我们的暑期实习计划的T15短期培训职位(少数族裔STTP)。从2009年到2010年，我们的NLM T15的行政补充支持了11名本科生进行由DBMI教师通过ARRA资助的暑期研究体验计划指导的研究。我们与田纳西州立大学和Cane Ridge高中(大都会纳什维尔公立学校)有更新的教育合作，通过这些合作，我们将为拟议的暑期研究计划招收来自不同背景的本科生和高中生。
