 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the program is to provide undergraduate students and research-oriented medical students from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds with a short-term, intensive biomedical laboratory research experience for 8-10 weeks during the summer at the University of Pennsylvania. The long-term aim of the program is to increase the pool of underrepresented students committed to careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic research. Training is provided by a core group of 53 trainers who have extensive experience as mentors to trainees at all levels and whose research interests relate to aspects of the heart, lung, and blood, as well as by a secondary group of more than 50 additional prospective mentors who conduct NHLBI sponsored research. Each trainee devotes approximately 90% of his or her time to hands-on laboratory research, experimental design, data interpretation, directed readings, lab meetings, and journal clubs. Trainees participate in a scientific seminar series presented by University of Pennsylvania faculty and receive supplemental training in academically relevant areas, including scientific presentation skills and the responsible conduct of research. In addition, trainees participate in various peer-networking and career-development activities and workshops. Trainees present their work in at least one formal setting at the end of the program and are encouraged to continue their association with the laboratory; undergraduates may return for a second summer research experience. Mechanisms are in place for measuring the effectiveness of the program's various components and improving the training experience over time. (End of Abstract)

 描述（由申请人提供）： 该计划的目标是为来自不同，代表性不足背景的本科生和研究型医学生提供短期，密集的生物医学实验室研究经验，为期8-10周。该计划的长期目标是增加致力于心血管，肺和血液学研究事业的代表性不足的学生人数。培训由53名培训师组成的核心小组提供，他们拥有丰富的经验，担任各级学员的导师，其研究兴趣涉及心脏，肺和血液的各个方面，以及由50多名进行NHLBI赞助研究的其他潜在导师组成的第二组。每个受训者将大约90%的时间用于动手实验室研究，实验设计，数据解释，指导阅读，实验室会议和期刊俱乐部。学员参加宾夕法尼亚大学教师提出的科学研讨会系列，并接受学术相关领域的补充培训，包括科学演讲技巧和负责任的研究行为。此外，受训人员还参加各种同侪网络和职业发展活动及讲习班。学员在课程结束时至少在一个正式的环境中展示他们的工作，并鼓励他们继续与实验室的联系;本科生可以返回第二个夏季研究经验。已经建立了衡量方案各组成部分的有效性和随着时间的推移改善培训经验的机制。(End摘要）
