PROJECT SUMMARY Continued funding is requested to support the NHLBI-T35 training program at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine. Our program introduces early stage medical students to the challenges and excitement of research by providing a mentored summer research experience with the ultimate goal of inspiring trainees toward academic careers that incorporate basic biomedical and clinical research. The program exists as a dedicated, NHLBI-focused research and career development program that leverages the successful administrative framework of our Student Training In Approaches to Research (STAR) Program. The T35 program provides students between their first and second year of medical school with a focused eight- week mentored training experience pursuing NHLBI-related research resulting in completion of a research project and formal presentation of their work. The Stritch School of Medicine is a rich academic environment and a leading institution in cardiovascular and hematology-related research and clinical care. We have a team of twenty-five experienced mentors whose research covers epidemiology; genetics; molecular, cellular and pathophysiological mechanisms of disease; translational research; and patient-oriented clinical research. The student’s full-time research training is supplemented with didactic conferences on topics including experimental design, data management, responsible conduct of research, professional development, and presentation skills. Trainees are chosen through a competitive process based on their proposed research plan and goals for the summer experience. The T35 program includes student assessments to evaluate the quality of the research experience and didactic offerings as well as our short and long-term success at encouraging students to pursue academic careers that include research.
