DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): While many engineering schools and specifically biomedical engineering departments offer summer research experiences whereby students can gain exposure to engineering approaches to medicine, there is no program focused on pediatric diseases. As our ability to detect and treat pediatric congenital and acquired diseases improves, so do opportunities to better manage, treat, and cure these diseases. While exciting, this is an area in need of multidisciplinary research across several disciplines. Emory, Georgia Tech and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta have formed a partnership with this as the sole purpose. The Centers for Pediatric Nanomedicine and Pediatric Innovation are focused on applying engineering principles to addressing pediatric diseases. This program is well supported by all 3 institutes, has maturing projects that are nearing independent funding, and truly extends from Bench-to-Bassinet. While there is much excitement, there is also great opportunity. The next step is to help train the next generation of scientists that can carry this innovative discipline forward. We propose to create a 10-week summer program for 10 undergraduate students to perform interdisciplinary research focused on pediatric nanomedicine. We will integrate with the existing Emory SURE program, reach out to local (and national) universities serving underrepresented minorities, and use the well-developed infrastructure to not only train the students scientifically, but to also help them understand clinical needs, ethics in research and medicine, and career development opportunities.

描述（由申请人提供）：虽然许多工程学校，特别是生物医学工程系提供暑期研究经验，使学生可以接触医学工程方法，但没有专门针对儿科疾病的项目。随着我们检测和治疗儿科先天性和后天性疾病的能力不断提高，更好地管理、治疗和治愈这些疾病的机会也随之增加。虽然令人兴奋，但这是一个需要跨多个学科进行多学科研究的领域。 埃默里大学、佐治亚理工学院和亚特兰大儿童医疗保健中心以此为唯一目的结成合作伙伴关系。儿科纳米医学和儿科创新中心致力于应用工程原理来解决儿科疾病。该项目得到了所有 3 个机构的大力支持，拥有接近独立资助的成熟项目，并真正从工作台延伸到摇篮。 虽然有很多令人兴奋的事情，但也有很好的机会。下一步是帮助培训能够推动这一创新学科向前发展的下一代科学家。我们建议为 10 名本科生创建一个为期 10 周的暑期项目，以开展专注于儿科纳米医学的跨学科研究。我们将与现有的埃默里 SURE 项目相结合，接触到为代表性不足的少数群体服务的当地（和国立）大学，并利用发达的基础设施不仅对学生进行科学培训，而且帮助他们了解临床需求、研究和医学伦理以及职业发展机会。
