点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

There is a pressing need for institutions to diversify their student body and faculty in order to increase participation of individuals currently underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences. This supplement provides a summer research fellowship for two medical students from underrepresented minority groups to engage in intensive 8-week summer projects in psychiatric research. The program provides research mentorship in novel and important domains of research, a comprehensive didactic program, and career development mentorship from leaders in our department. The program will have the following components: 1) A mentored research training experience with a clinical or translational focus in a highly successful research program, 2) A formal research-focused didactic curriculum: students will participate in a summer research didactic program for medical students, and 3) Career development mentoring including professional development skills and research-focused career guidance from research mentors, the R25 director, the residency Program Director, and the Chair of Psychiatry and Human Behavior. Students will be expected to prepare and present a poster presentation of the research project and findings. And are encouraged to collaborate with their summer research mentor on other products such as manuscripts and presentations.
