Substantive research training early during the course of medical school education is critical to address the declining number of physicians choosing research careers. The proposed University of Illinois Short-Term Research Training Program (SRTP) will provide first year medical students (12 slots in Year 1, 15 in Year 2-5) with a 10-week mentored research experience in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) mission areas including, kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases; digestive disease and nutrition; and diabetes, endocrinology and metabolic disease. The University of Illinois College of Medicine (UI COM) is a large public medical school with one of the most diverse student populations in the country in terms of enrolled African American and Latino students. The program will draw from first year medical students at UI COM, as well as other medical schools in the Chicago metropolitan area and Midwest. We have assembled an outstanding team of mentors in NIDDK mission areas with expertise in basic/mechanistic, clinical/translational, and behavioral/community-based research. In addition to mentored research, students will participate in an interactive structured curriculum focused on research methodology, responsible conduct of research, and career development. To learn presentation skills and principles of rigor and reproducibility, students will co- lead, with a research mentor, journal clubs and works-in-progress sessions. Additional novel aspects of the program include use of peer-to-peer mentoring and ongoing exposure to successful early career physician- scientists. At the end of the summer, students will present at a SRTP Research Symposium and the COM Research Day. After the program is completed, the program will utilize multiple strategies to facilitate continued involvement in research activities, including encouraging students to apply to the James Scholar Program, a program that provides the infrastructure to support research during the second to fourth years of medical school. In addition, the program will strive to create a sense of community among SRTP cohorts by hosting quarterly “Ideas on Tap” (research/social networking events at which students present ongoing research), and will maintain connections with trainees using the program website, newsletters, an SRTP Slack communication channel, and social media. An Executive Committee will oversee implementation of the program, recruitment/selection, program evaluation, and tracking of short- and long-term outcomes. Strengths of the program include the experienced co-Directors, committed and well-funded program mentors with broad expertise across NIDDK mission areas, an innovative structured curriculum, a robust recruitment plan to enhance diversity, strong institutional support, and a thoughtfully conceived plan to foster continued research involvement after program completion. Consequently, the proposed SRTP will provide medical students with a substantive research experience, facilitating the achievement of the long-term objective of increasing the pipeline and diversity of physicians entering the research workforce in NIDDK mission areas.

在医学院教育过程的早期进行实质性的研究培训对于解决 越来越多的医生选择从事研究工作。伊利诺伊大学短期 研究培训计划（SRTP）将提供一年级医学生（1年级12个名额，2-5年级15个名额） 在国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏研究所有10周的指导研究经验 疾病（NIDDK）使命领域包括肾脏、泌尿系统和血液系统疾病;消化系统疾病和 营养;糖尿病、内分泌和代谢疾病。伊利诺伊大学医学院（UI COM）是一所大型公立医学院，在学生群体方面， 非裔美国人和拉丁裔学生的人数。该计划将吸引来自UI的一年级医学生 COM，以及芝加哥大都市区和中西部的其他医学院。我们制定了一份 NIDDK使命领域的优秀导师团队，具有基础/机械，临床/翻译， 行为/社区研究。除了指导研究，学生将参加一个 互动式结构课程侧重于研究方法，负责任的研究行为， 职业发展。为了学习演示技巧和严谨性和可重复性的原则，学生将共同- 与研究导师一起领导期刊俱乐部和在建作品会议。的其他新颖方面 该计划包括使用点对点指导和持续接触成功的早期职业医生- 科学家在夏季结束时，学生将出席SRTP研究研讨会和COM 研究日该计划完成后，该计划将利用多种策略，以促进继续 参与研究活动，包括鼓励学生申请詹姆斯学者计划， 该计划提供基础设施，以支持在第二至第四年的医疗研究 学校此外，该计划将努力通过主办 每季度一次的“想法自来水”（研究/社交网络活动，学生提出正在进行的研究），以及 我将使用该计划的网站，通讯，SRTP Slack通信与学员保持联系 渠道和社交媒体。一个执行委员会将监督该计划的实施， 招聘/甄选、方案评估以及短期和长期成果的跟踪。实力 计划包括经验丰富的共同董事，承诺和资金充足的计划导师与广泛的 NIDDK使命领域的专业知识，创新的结构化课程，强大的招聘计划， 加强多样性，强有力的机构支持，以及深思熟虑的计划，以促进持续的研究 项目完成后的参与。因此，建议的SRTP将为医学生提供一个 实质性的研究经验，促进实现提高 进入NIDDK使命地区研究队伍的医生的管道和多样性。
