项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competing renewal application for a short-term research education program originally funded as a T35 in 2000 and as an R25 in 2010. Our major objective is to continue providing annual short-term research education experiences for highly motivated minority students in order to expose them to biomedical research in the area of pulmonary and cardiovascular disease. Locally known as GEMS (Graduate Experiences for Multicultural Students). Over the past 13 years, >170 UG students participated; >115 supported by the T35/R25 and the rest supported by other programs. Collectively, these students have published 81 manuscripts; >60% have earned terminal degrees or are enrolled in professional school. More than 70% of student participants were under-represented ethnic minorities. The program builds upon our established infrastructure and uses the significant strengths of one of the top pulmonary medicine programs in the country. We continue the tradition of addressing the pipeline by requesting 10 undergraduate and 4 health professional student slots. We will also emphasize the concept of team science that is so critical to success in the biomedical research field. Here, in addition to the usual didactic and hands-on research activities, we propose a new model of training that deviates from the traditional mentor/mentee relationship; a paradigm shift where we introduce the concept of academic "coaches". A coach is not intended to supplant the mentor, but rather complement this relationship, since coaches do not interact with the student on a day-to-day basis. Coaches are experienced faculty members who guide the students through a successful career path and stay in contact beyond the summer internship. Furthermore, to ensure student success, we propose to use social science approaches and provide the students with a toolkit that will create an environment, a community of practice, where they feel safe to talk about personal, academic and professional issues and to bond through shared norms and values. We will use traditional approaches to student selection but will incorporate a set of targeted questions in the application that will aidin selection of students highly motivated to pursue biomedical research. We believe that these approaches will continue the GEMS tradition of excellence in training under- represented students while at the same time enhancing student's academic success beyond the summer GEMS internship.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是针对最初在2000年以T35资助的短期研究教育计划的竞争续订申请，并于2010年作为R25。我们的主要目标是继续为高度积极进取的少数民族学生提供年度短期研究教育经验，以使他们在肺和心脏病疾病的生物医学研究中暴露于生物医学研究。本地称为宝石（多元文化学生的研究生体验）。在过去的13年中，> 170名UG学生参加了； > 115由T35/R25支持，其余由其他程序支持。这些学生共同出版了81本手稿。 > 60％的人获得了码头学位或入学专业学校。超过70％的学生参与者是代表不足的少数民族。该计划建立在我们既定的基础设施基础上，并利用该国顶级肺医学计划之一的重要优势。我们通过要求10个本科生和4个卫生专业学生老虎机来继续解决管道的传统。我们还将强调团队科学的概念，这对于生物医学研究领域的成功至关重要。在这里，除了通常的教学和动手研究活动外，我们还提出了一种新的培训模型，偏离了传统的导师/受训者关系。我们介绍学术“教练”概念的范式转变。教练并不是要取代导师，而是要补充这种关系，因为教练不会每天与学生互动。教练是经验丰富的教师，他们指导学生走过成功的职业道路，并在暑假实习之外保持联系。此外，为了确保学生的成功，我们建议使用社会科学方法，并为学生提供一个工具包，该工具包将创造一个环境，一个实践社区，他们可以安全地谈论个人，学术和专业问题，并通过共同的规范和价值观结合。我们将使用传统的学生选择方法，但将在应用程序中纳入一系列有针对性的问题，这将帮助他们选择有积极进取的学生进行生物医学研究。我们认为，这些方法将延续宝石的卓越培训培训传统，同时增强了学生在夏季宝石实习之外的学术成就。（抽象的结尾）
