Discovery to Cure Summer Program

这是一个有竞争力的更新，以支持发现治愈高中实习计划（DTCHIP）。 发现治愈高中实习成立于15年前，以提供前所未有的 科学和个人的挑战，年轻的学生配对他们与尊敬的科学家，并鼓励 并培养他们对科学和医学领域的兴趣。该方案非常成功。 多年来，它对年轻科学家的影响已经得到证明，在NICHD/NIH的支持下，我们 能够扩大该计划，增加参与学生的数量。在目前的资金 在2012-2016年期间，DTCHIP已经指导了208名学者，其中138名来自少数民族或贫困地区。的 该计划的质量和相关性得到顶级大学的认可，这些大学考虑到 学生参与该计划，供他们选择。全国顶尖高校， 包括耶鲁大学在内的许多大学都接受了该项目的高中毕业生， 在早期的行动中。这一建议是这一既定的、严格的、循序渐进的、 研究培训计划。我们的目标是继续并扩大我们的目标， 发现治愈高中实习计划高质量的研究经验，以合格的学生， 大学生和高中教师，让他们接触到生物医学的兴奋和可能性， 研究生涯。我们的具体目标如下： 目标1）为高中生提供一个丰富的知识和研究环境。实习生 在最先进的实验室工作，在PI，博士后或研究助理的指导下，学习 基本的实验室方法和技术，并产生一个独立的研究项目，他或她 在项目结束时向导师、教职员工和同行展示。 目的2）鼓励科学好奇心，合作和培养批判性思维。实习生发展自己的 科学项目，这将进一步扩大在学年在他们的机构，鼓励他们 参加国家科学活动。 正如迄今为止所证明的那样，DTCHIP为学者提供了必要的培训， 在他们被分配的实验室内进行的研究的生产和重要的方式。数据 由学者产生的已被纳入出版物，他们是共同作者，进一步 为他们的学术生涯做出贡献。

This is a competitive renewal in support of the Discovery to Cure High School Internship Program (DTCHIP). The Discovery to Cure High School Internship was established 15 years ago in order to offer an unprecedented scientific and personal challenge to young students by pairing them with respected scientists and encouraging and fostering their interest in the fields of science and medicine. The Program has been extremely successful. Its impact on young scientists has been proven over the years, and with the support of NICHD/NIH, we have been able to expand the program and increase the number of participating students. During the current funding period (2012-2016), the DTCHIP has mentored 208 Scholars, 138 from minority or underprivileged areas. The quality and relevance of the program are recognized by top universities, which take into consideration the students' participation in the program for their selection. Top colleges and universities throughout the country, including Yale University, have accepted the graduated high school Scholars from the program, with a record number in their early action. This proposal is a continuation of this well-established, rigorous, step-wise, research-training program. Our objective is to continue and expand our objective to provide, thought the Discovery to Cure High School Internship Program high-quality research experience to qualified students, undergraduates, and high school teachers and to expose them to the excitement and possibility of biomedical research careers. Our specific aims are as follows: Aim 1) To provide high school students with a rich intellectual and investigative environment. Interns work in state-of-the-art laboratories, under the mentorship of a PI, post-doctorate or research assistant, learning basic laboratory methods and techniques and producing an independent research project, which he or she presents to mentors, faculty, and peers at the end of the Program. Aim 2) To encourage scientific curiosity, cooperation and foster critical thinking. Interns develop their own scientific projects, which will be further expanded during the academic year at their institution, encouraging them to participate in National Science events. As proven so far, the DTCHIP provides the Scholars with the training required to contribute in an active, productive and significant way to the ongoing research within the laboratories that they are assigned. The data generated by the Scholars has been incorporated into publications where they are co-authors, further contributing to their academic careers.
