This proposed Summer Research Program is a competing renewal of the JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG). Part of HIHG’s mission is to train the next generation of researchers. For this reason, it has hosted, for the last five years, the JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences (JJ Vance internship), a program that has offered rising seniors from Miami-area high schools a unique opportunity to be directly involved in scientific research. The program has been highly successful, receiving a total of 541 applications during the 5-year funding period from 94 different high schools in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, for only 12-13 positions per year. Of the 63 selected interns during this time, 47% were Hispanic/Latino, 15% were African American, 30% were white non-Hispanic and 8% were Asian. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of students that have graduated from high school (two classes are still in high school) have attended college, and STEM majors represent 87% of the ex-interns’ college major fields of study with 20% currently attending additional graduate study. The programs’ design incorporates the student into ongoing working research groups led by faculty members at the HIHG, focusing on a hands-on and mentoring experience. We strive to create a passion for science, for research; to enable the student to experience not only the creativity of science but understand what career steps it takes to get them there. We offer both laboratory as well as a computer-based (bioinformatics, statistical genetics, data- management programming) experience.

这个拟议的夏季研究计划是约翰·P·赫斯曼人类基因组研究所 (HIHG) 生物和计算科学 JJ 万斯纪念夏季实习项目的竞争更新。 HIHG 的部分使命是培训下一代研究人员。因此，它在过去五年中主办了 JJ 万斯纪念生物和计算科学暑期实习项目（JJ 万斯实习项目），该项目为迈阿密地区高中即将升入高年级的学生提供了直接参与科学研究的独特机会。该计划非常成功，在 5 年资助期内共收到来自迈阿密戴德县和布劳沃德县 94 所不同高中的 541 份申请，每年仅提供 12-13 个职位。在此期间选定的 63 名实习生中，47% 是西班牙裔/拉丁裔，15% 是非洲裔美国人，30% 是非西班牙裔白人，8% 是亚洲人。百分之九十七 (97%) 的高中毕业学生（两个班仍在高中）上过大学，STEM 专业占前实习生大学专业学习领域的 87%，其中 20% 目前正在参加额外的研究生学习。该项目的设计将学生纳入由 HIHG 教员领导的正在进行的工作研究小组，重点关注实践和指导经验。我们努力激发对科学、研究的热情；让学生不仅能够体验科学的创造力，还能了解实现这一目标需要采取哪些职业步骤。我们提供实验室和基于计算机（生物信息学、统计遗传学、数据管理编程）的经验。
