DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the first renewal application of Alpert Medical School Summer Research Program (AMSSRP). The overall goal of the AMSSRP is to provide medical students with the opportunity to have a mentored research experience under the guidance of Brown University faculty. Designated faculty trainers are the principal investigators for research programs focused on the molecular basis and pathology of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and blood diseases and/or disease outcomes and prevention. The current program is designed to offer ten medical students, who have just completed their 1st year of medical training, a 10 week summer research experience that includes a collaborative, multidisciplinary, mentored research project, didactic training, and career development activities to enhance their understanding, and give them the hands-on experience, of a career as a physician-scientist. The AMSSRP is geared to expose students to the critical role played by physician-scientists in translational research and to inspire these students to embark on this career path of exploration and discovery. The AMSSRP will continue to effectively use the Scholarly Concentrations Program at the Alpert Medical School (AMS) to recruit, train, and track the participants, thus providing significant institutional support. The Scholarly Concentrations Program is an elective course of study that provides students with the opportunity to complete substantial scholarly work in a particular area of study during the entirety of the four year medical school continuum. Most importantly, this program provides a 3-year longitudinal mentoring experience with Brown University faculty. It is anticipated that the involvement of AMSSRP participants in the summer research experience, involvement in the Scholarly Concentrations Program, and mentorship by Brown University faculty will increase the students' commitment to and preparation for a career in academic medicine. NIH has consistently made translational and 'bench-to-bedside' research a priority. However, the increase in NIH support of biomedical basic research has not correlated with an increase in the discovery of efficacious therapies or diagnostics to battle human diseases. This disparity is thought to be due in part to the decrease in the number of physicians that have pursued a research career, a decline that may result from a lack of mentorship, rising costs of medical school education, and a perception that physician scientists are not as highly regarded as physicians in the hospital setting. The AMSSRP serves to dispel this trend by partnering medical students with successful and active scientist mentors engaged in cutting edge research and exposing them to the excitement of biomedical research discoveries related to cardiovascular, pulmonary and blood health and diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是阿尔珀特医学院夏季研究计划（AMSSRP）的第一个续签申请。 AMSSRP 的总体目标是为医学生提供在布朗大学教师指导下获得指导性研究经验的机会。指定的教员培训师是专注于心血管、肺和血液疾病的分子基础和病理学和/或疾病结果和预防的研究项目的主要研究者。目前的项目旨在为刚刚完成第一年医学培训的 10 名医学生提供为期 10 周的夏季研究体验，其中包括协作、多学科、指导性研究项目、教学培训和职业发展活动，以增强他们的理解，并为他们提供作为医师科学家职业的实践经验。 AMSSRP 旨在让学生了解医师科学家在转化研究中所发挥的关键作用，并激励这些学生走上探索和发现的职业道路。 AMSSRP 将继续有效利用阿尔珀特医学院 (AMS) 的学术集中项目来招募、培训和跟踪参与者，从而提供重要的机构支持。学术集中课程是一门选修课程，为学生提供在整个四年医学院连续学习期间完成特定研究领域的实质性学术工作的机会。最重要的是，该项目为布朗大学教师提供为期 3 年的纵向指导经验。预计 AMSSRP 参与者参与夏季研究体验、参与学术集中项目以及布朗大学教师的指导将增加学生对学术医学职业的承诺和准备。 NIH 始终将转化和“从实验室到临床”的研究作为优先事项。然而，美国国立卫生研究院对生物医学基础研究支持的增加与对抗人类疾病的有效疗法或诊断方法的发现的增加并不相关。这种差异被认为部分是由于从事研究职业的医生数量减少，这种减少可能是由于缺乏指导、医学院教育成本上升以及人们认为医生科学家在医院环境中不如医生受到高度重视造成的。 AMSSRP 通过将医学生与从事前沿研究的成功而活跃的科学家导师合作，让他们接触到与心血管、肺部和血液健康及疾病相关的生物医学研究发现，来消除这种趋势。
