DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Massachusetts General Hospital for Children (MGHfC) seeks to establish the MGHfC Digestive Disease Summer Research Program in order to provide short-term support for 10 students at the undergraduate or medical school level of training. Each student will perform an independent research project focused on digestive diseases over a ten week period during the summer months within a laboratory or collaborating laboratory of the MGHfC. Collaborating laboratories of the MGHfC are laboratories within the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) community that possess unique expertise in engineering and computational sciences currently being leveraged to support various projects centered on digestive disease research. In addition to conducting an independent project to be formally presented at a summer's end symposium, each student will participate in a peer-driven molecular cell biology course as well as a panel discussion on careers in biomedicine involving faculty and outside professionals. Currently 15 MGH independent investigators with interest in digestive diseases have agreed to serve as mentors and host students in their laboratories during the summer. An advisory board of six MGHfC faculty members including the program director and associate director will be responsible for overseeing the program as well as recruiting and selecting participating students each summer. Special efforts will be made to attract individuals that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences to participate in the summer program.

描述（由申请人提供）：马萨诸塞州儿童总医院（MGHfC）寻求建立MGHfC消化系统疾病夏季研究计划，以便为10名本科生或医学院培训水平的学生提供短期支持。每个学生将在MGHfC的实验室或合作实验室内进行为期十周的消化系统疾病独立研究项目。MGHfC的合作实验室是马萨诸塞州总医院（MGH）社区内的实验室，这些实验室在工程和计算科学方面拥有独特的专业知识，目前正被用于支持以消化系统疾病研究为中心的各种项目。除了进行一个独立的项目将在夏季结束的研讨会上正式提出，每个学生将参加一个同行驱动的分子细胞生物学课程，以及在生物医学涉及教师和外部专业人士的职业小组讨论。目前，15名对消化系统疾病感兴趣的MGH独立研究人员已同意在夏季期间在他们的实验室担任导师和接待学生。一个由六名MGHfC教师组成的咨询委员会，包括项目主任和副主任，将负责监督该项目，以及每年夏天招募和选择参与的学生。将作出特别努力，以吸引在生物医学科学代表性不足的个人参加夏季计划。
