DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this summer program is to introduce highly qualified undergraduates from diverse and underrepresented minority backgrounds to the concept of scientific research, the principles of scientific experimentation, the proper methods of data analysis, the interpretation, presentation, and translational applications of research results and to clinicians who practice at academic medical centers. Each student will work in the laboratory of a faculty mentor who has a proven track record in the mentoring of students and who has an actively funded biomedical research program focusing on cardiovascular, pulmonary or sleep medicine to accomplish this goal. In addition, all students will learn about careers in academic medical centers (AMCs) by shadowing clinician-investigators both in an office setting, as well as on in-patient rounds. At the end of the first summer in the program, the students will write an abstract and participate in both a local and national poster presentation of their research results. After the second summer in the program, students will give a 5-7 minute "chalk-talk" to other students in the training program, and will again present their research locally and nationally. The students will also receive instruction in essay writing, MCAT preparation, and critical career skills. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide undergraduate students with an understanding and appreciation of the biomedical research process so as to encourage them to pursue careers studying patients and their diseases after further postgraduate training in graduate and medical education.

描述（由申请人提供）：本暑期项目的目标是向来自多元化和代表性不足的少数族裔背景的高素质本科生介绍科学研究的概念、科学实验的原理、正确的研究方法。 数据分析、研究结果的解释、呈现和转化应用，以及向在学术医疗中心执业的临床医生提供服务。每个学生都将在一位导师的实验室工作，该导师在指导学生方面拥有良好的记录，并且拥有积极资助的生物医学研究项目，重点关注心血管、肺或睡眠医学，以实现这一目标。此外，所有学生都将通过在办公室环境和住院查房中跟随临床医生研究人员来了解学术医疗中心 (AMC) 的职业生涯。在该计划的第一个夏天结束时， 学生将撰写摘要并参加当地和国家的海报展示 他们的研究成果。在该项目的第二个夏天结束后，学生将向培训项目中的其他学生进行 5-7 分钟的“粉笔演讲”，并将再次在当地和全国展示他们的研究成果。学生还将接受论文写作、MCAT 准备和关键职业技能方面的指导。该计划的最终目标是让本科生了解和欣赏生物医学研究过程，以鼓励他们在研究生和医学教育的进一步研究生培训后从事研究患者及其疾病的职业。 （摘要完）
