PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Through the NIDDK Short-Term Education Program for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP), the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) proposes to implement the UCLA STEP-UP, as one of two sites dedicated to coordinating the recruitment of students from the 48 contiguous United States (excluding American Indian students as per the RFA) over the 5-year award period. The program will provide an in-depth, mentored health sciences immersion experience each summer to 25 promising underrepresented high school students who are committed to a career in NIDDK mission areas, including diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and digestive, urologic, kidney, and hematologic diseases. The main goal of this program is provide a robust summer biomedical science research experience reinforced by an ongoing year round mentoring program to these 25 promising underrepresented high school students from around the nation who otherwise would likely not have access to a promising career path in the sciences. The UCLA STEP-UP program will include an introductory web-based research conduct and lab/clinic readiness training curriculum, an informal mentor-led laboratory and research orientation, opportunities for attendance at various research forums, specialized student-specific research assignments and activities, and support for students to attend the annual NIH student research symposium where they will present their research findings to their peers and senior researchers. The specific aims of the UCLA Step-Up are to: 1. Provide a rewarding 8 week mentored summer research experience to 25 underrepresented high school students annually, which includes education in research principles, research conduct, and the presentation of science; 2. Provide intensive mentoring to each student by active research faculty; 3. Fully participate in the national STEP-UP symposium at NIH/NIDDK, where the students make oral and/or poster presentations to peers and established researchers using the standard presentation format of national scientific meetings; and 4. Evaluate the impact of UCLA STEP-UP on key early hallmarks of success that predict students' ability to excel in the biomedical and health professional sciences.

项目总结/摘要 通过NIDDK为代表性不足的人提供的短期教育方案，大卫 加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的格芬医学院建议实施 UCLA STEP-UP，作为两个致力于协调48名学生的招聘的网站之一， 在5年的奖励期内，美国本土的学生（不包括RFA规定的美国印第安人学生）。 该计划将提供一个深入的，指导健康科学沉浸式体验，每年夏天到25 有前途的代表性不足的高中生谁致力于在NIDDK使命领域的职业生涯， 包括糖尿病、内分泌、代谢、营养、肥胖和消化、泌尿、肾脏， 血液病 该计划的主要目标是提供一个强大的夏季生物医学科学研究经验 通过对这25所有前途的代表性不足的高中进行持续的全年辅导计划， 来自全国各地的学生，否则他们可能无法在美国获得有前途的职业道路。 以理工科为重 加州大学洛杉矶分校的STEP-UP计划将包括一个介绍性的基于网络的研究行为和实验室/诊所 准备培训课程，一个非正式的导师领导的实验室和研究方向，机会， 参加各种研究论坛，专门的学生特定的研究任务和活动，以及 支持学生参加年度NIH学生研究研讨会，他们将在那里展示他们的 研究成果向同行和高级研究人员展示。UCLA Step-Up的具体目标是： 1.提供一个有益的8周指导夏季研究经验，以25个代表性不足的高 学校的学生每年，其中包括教育的研究原则，研究行为， 介绍科学; 2.由活跃的研究人员为每个学生提供密集的指导; 3.充分参与在NIH/NIDDK的全国STEP-UP研讨会，学生们在那里进行口头交流 和/或海报演示给同行和既定的研究人员使用标准的演示文稿 国家科学会议的形式; 4.评估UCLA STEP-UP对预测学生能力的关键早期成功标志的影响 在生物医学和健康专业科学方面出类拔萃。
