The Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh-Cardiology, Hematology and Pulmonology Summer Research Internship Program (CHP2-SRIP) will be the premiere undergraduate research experience in the study of pediatric heart, lung and blood/vasculature. COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Blacks, Latinx, and Native Americans, further exposing longstanding health disparities in the U.S. Indeed, under-represented minority (URM) children are heavily affected with heart, lung, and blood/vascular disorders. For example, Puerto Ricans and African Americans have the highest burden of asthma of all ethnic groups in the U.S., where sickle cell disease mostly affects African American children. Although URM physicians and scientists are more likely to care for or conduct research in URMs, the proportion of URM students in the biomedical sciences is very low. Thus, there is a large unmet need to train the diverse biomedical researchers to develop new and effective treatments and cures for heart, lung and blood diseases, particularly those affecting URMs. UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP) is well positioned to mentor, train, and motivate undergraduate URM students to become MD and/or PhD scientists focused on research in cardiac, hematological and pulmonary disorders. In addition, there is large unmet need to train the next generation of diverse heart, lung and blood/vascular-based researchers to develop new and effective treatments and cures for the myriad of diseases. This program will allow students to perform research for a 10-week period over the summer as part of the CHP2-SRIP. The pool of URM undergraduates will come from a wide range of Universities around the country and US districts. This program will be administered by the Department of Pediatrics and include faculty from the Pediatric cardiology, pulmonology and hematology/oncology Divisions, Developmental Biology Department, Department of Pathology, Critical Care Department and the School of Public Health. Members of the training faculty will provide a weekly one-hour didactic session on a NHLBI topic followed by a 30-minute discussion on a pertinent paper and a discussion about career options as a heart, lung or blood/vascular researcher. Furthermore, we will provide research training under the mentorship of world-class NHLBI researchers. A multimedia platform has been developed specifically for this program and will act as an interface for past, current and future students. CHP2-SRIP students will be matched with one of the training faculty to pursue a research project. Given the breadth of the training faculty research interests, students will have the opportunity to work on a laboratory-based project or a patient oriented research project. At the end of the 10 weeks, the students will present their work as an oral presentation. Upon completion of this summer program the students will have had exposure to a wide array of NHLBI-based research topics, to nationally respected clinician-scientists and PhD scientists. Given that decisions about a specialty in medicine and/or research focus often happen in early stages of training, the intent of this program is to increase the number of trainees that will eventually become clinician-scientists or PhD scientists in these fields.

爱丁堡儿童医院-心脏病学、血液学和肺病学暑期研究实习 计划（CHP 2-SRIP）将是儿科心脏研究的首个本科研究经验， 肺和血液/脉管系统。COVID-19对黑人、拉丁裔和美洲原住民的影响不成比例， 进一步暴露了美国长期存在的健康差距。事实上，代表性不足的少数民族（URM）儿童 严重影响心脏、肺和血液/血管疾病。例如，波多黎各人和非洲 在美国所有种族中，美国人的哮喘负担最高，镰状细胞病主要 影响非裔美国儿童。虽然URM的医生和科学家更有可能照顾或进行 在URM的研究中，URM学生在生物医学科学中的比例非常低。因此，存在很大的 未满足的需求，培训不同的生物医学研究人员，以开发新的和有效的治疗和治愈， 心脏、肺和血液疾病，特别是影响URMs的疾病。匹兹堡UPMC儿童医院（CHP） 是很好的定位，以指导，培训和激励本科URM学生成为MD和/或博士 科学家们集中研究心脏病、血液病和肺病。此外，还有大量 未满足的需求，以培养下一代不同的心脏，肺和血液/血管为基础的研究人员，以发展 为无数疾病提供新的有效的治疗方法。这个项目将允许学生表演 作为CHP 2-SRIP的一部分，我们在夏季进行了为期10周的研究。URM本科生人才库将 来自全国各地的大学和美国地区的广泛。该项目将由 由儿科系，包括儿科心脏病学，肺病学和 血液学/肿瘤学部门，发育生物学部门，病理学部门，重症监护 系和公共卫生学院。培训教师的成员将提供每周一个小时的 关于NHLBI主题的教学会议，然后是关于相关论文的30分钟讨论和讨论 关于心脏、肺或血液/血管研究人员的职业选择。此外，我们将提供研究培训， 在世界级NHLBI研究人员的指导下。专门开发了多媒体平台 为这个程序，并将作为一个接口，为过去，现在和未来的学生。CHP 2-SRIP学生将 与其中一名培训教师配对，进行一项研究项目。鉴于培训机构的广泛性 研究兴趣，学生将有机会在实验室为基础的项目或面向病人的工作 研究项目。在10周结束时，学生将以口头报告的形式介绍他们的工作。后 完成这个暑期项目后，学生们将接触到广泛的基于NHLBI的研究 主题，全国尊敬的临床科学家和博士科学家。考虑到关于专业的决定， 医学和/或研究的重点往往发生在培训的早期阶段，这个计划的目的是增加 最终将成为这些领域的临床科学家或博士科学家的受训者人数。
