This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Delaware INBRE Annual Progress Report (APR) 2007 Grant No. 5P20RR016472-2007 Undergraduate Research Experience Core Core Directors: Ms. Jeanette Miller, DBI Assistant Director Dr. Veronica Rempusheski, UD School of Nursing Core Objective: To strengthen the biomedical research skills of undergraduates by involving them in faculty research. Summer Undergraduate Research Internships Overview: The Delaware INBRE grant supported twenty-seven undergraduate research interns in a ten-week program conducted June - August 2006. The program required students to work forty hours per week at their research assignments, and to prepare a poster or talk for an end of summer research symposium, hosted by the University of Delaware through a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. All INBRE students participated in a four-session seminar series on clinical and translational research and research ethics, hosted by INBRE partner Christiana Care Health System. Each student was also provided a stipend, housing allowance, and when needed, transportation to required events. A number of students continue their research projects during the academic year, and present at poster sessions at national meetings. Institutions Involved: All six Delaware INBRE partner institutions participated in the program, as host research sites or as a source of students. This year featured an increased number of cross-institutional assignments, with 40% of students conducting research at an institution other than their home institutions. During the placement process, students were asked to describe their areas of scientific interest, to review faculty research descriptions and to suggest up to four labs of interest throughout the INBRE network. Whenever possible, students were placed in one of their labs of choice. Some thirty network faculty were involved, either as research mentors or in selecting student participants from their respective institutions. For the second year, the group included nursing faculty and students from the University of Delaware and Wesley College. Jeanette Miller, Assistant Director, Delaware Biotechnology Institute provided student placement and program oversight. Student Data: The diverse student group included 60% women and 30% underrepresented students (five African-American and two Hispanic students). Interns were sophomores, juniors and seniors in life and health science majors, including biology, biotechnology, chemistry, electrical and computer engineering, and nursing. Research interns also included four students involved in the two-year histotechnician program at Delaware Technical & Community College. To be candidates for an internship, students were required to have a minimum GPA of 3.00. Program Evaluation: Interns completed evaluations at the conclusion of the internship. Students reported that the internship was a very positive experience, which in many instances confirmed or catalyzed a students interest in a biomedical research career. Students often reported that the internship developed or gave them confidence in some of their own skills: that they could function as a member of a lab team; that they could develop a deep understanding of a scientific project and talk about it to other scientists, which they had the opportunity to do at the end-of-summer research symposium. All INBRE students prepared scientific posters, and two INBRE students were invited to give symposium talks during the August 2006 capstone event. A long-term survey of Delaware BRIN/INBRE students is planned for spring 2007, to gather data on students continued educational and career choices, and the effect of the internship experience on this choice. INBRE students also present their research at other venues, including at the NIH NISBRE meeting, which took place in July 2006. Students are encouraged to apply to national meetings that host undergraduate researchers, such as the NIGMS Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS). INBRE has assisted three students in attending this conference.
