PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the proposed program is focused on increasing the number of well-trained minority undergraduate students who enter doctoral training and biological science research careers in the biomedical sciences and do research in areas of interest to NHLBI. The application seeks funds to support 14 undergraduate students/yr for summer research in biomedical research such as cardiovascular, pulmonary or hematological disorders who will participate in the 10 week Summer Honors Undergraduate Research Program (SHURP) of the Division of Medical Sciences based at Harvard Medical School. There are currently 551 alumni and 97% of them have or are planning to continue training in the biomedical sciences. The objectives are (1) to increase students’ knowledge of biomedical research and career choices, (2) to improve their research-related skills and confidence in those skills, (3) to stimulate their interest in pursuing careers in biomedical research, especially in areas of interest to NHLBI, (4) to improve the students’ ability to select an appropriate program and to prepare a successful application, (5) to provide intra-program and post-program mentoring, (6) to assist the program alumni in building a professional network. The major focus of the program is research in laboratories of Harvard Medical School faculty members who are successful research mentors in the PhD and MD/PhD programs and who do research in areas of interest to NHLBI. Laboratory research is supplemented by required weekly student-faculty research discussion seminars, training in the Responsible Conduct of Research, career exploration and development workshops, participation in the Leadership Alliance Symposium, mentoring by graduate students, and other opportunities to meet faculty and graduate and medical students. Applicants are recruited nationwide through personal contacts with undergraduate program directors and SHURP alumni, promotion of the program at minority science student research or career conferences, mailings to science program directors, and print and on-line advertisements. Students are selected from over 500+ applicants/yr on the basis of their interest in research, intellectual competence, and teacher assessment of cognitive and personal skills. The program is evaluated by the trainees, faculty research mentors, trainees’ college science advisors. Follow- up activities include regular contact with trainees to provide advice and networking opportunities, a twice-yearly alumni newsletter, a periodically-updated alumni directory, campus visits, and informal telephone, letter, and email contacts with program alumni. These contacts also allow us to track the applicants and their career paths.

项目摘要 该计划的目标是增加训练有素的少数民族 进入博士培训和生物科学研究职业的本科生， 生物医学科学，并在NHLBI感兴趣的领域进行研究。申请寻求 资助每年14名本科生进行生物医学研究的暑期研究 如心血管、肺或血液系统疾病， 医学部暑期荣誉本科生研究计划（SHURP） 科学基于哈佛医学院。目前有551名校友，其中97%的 已经或计划继续接受生物医学科学方面的培训。目标是：（1） 增加学生的生物医学研究和职业选择的知识，（2）提高他们的 研究相关的技能和对这些技能的信心，（3）激发他们追求的兴趣 生物医学研究的职业生涯，特别是在NHLBI感兴趣的领域，（4）提高 学生选择合适课程和准备成功申请的能力，（5） 提供计划内和计划后的指导，（6）协助计划校友建立 专业网络。该计划的主要重点是在哈佛实验室的研究 医学院教师谁是成功的研究导师在博士和MD/博士 计划和谁做感兴趣的NHLBI领域的研究。实验室研究是 补充所需的每周学生教师研究讨论研讨会，培训， 负责任地进行研究，职业探索和发展讲习班， 参加领导力联盟研讨会，由研究生指导，以及其他 有机会与教师、研究生和医学生见面。应聘者被招聘 通过与本科生项目主任和SHURP的个人联系，在全国范围内 校友，在少数民族科学学生研究或职业会议上推广该计划， 给科学项目主管的邮件，以及印刷和在线广告。学生 从超过500+申请人/年的基础上，他们在研究，知识产权的兴趣选择 能力，以及教师对认知和个人技能的评估。该计划是 由受训者、教师研究导师、受训者的大学科学顾问进行评估。跟着- UP活动包括定期与学员接触，提供建议和建立联系 机会，一年两次的校友通讯，每年更新的校友目录，校园 访问和非正式的电话，信件和电子邮件与计划校友联系。这些接触 这也让我们能够跟踪申请人及其职业道路。
