NICHD R25 Summer Research Program at the University of Oregon

项目摘要/摘要 摘要：该项目将继续我们在俄勒冈大学的NICHD R25夏季研究项目 (UO)，每年支持15名本科生进行暑期研究体验和培训，为期5年。 该计划为本科生提供了参与研究项目的机会，这些项目侧重于 NICHD的战略目标--儿童健康和人类发展，长期目标是加强 为有才华的学生提供生物医学研究的就业机会。该计划的主要目标包括 为国家努力使训练有素的生物医学研究人员多样化作出贡献，增加获取 为有限机会获得研究设施和经验的学生研究职业；并培养毕业生 学生和博士后研究员成为有效的导师。我们针对个人实习生的目标包括：a) 获得科学研究的体验式教育；b)培养对实验的欣赏 方法、战略设计和创造性推理；c)发展方法技能；d)加强 演绎和归纳推理技能；e)增强科学交流技能；f)提升个人 通过与教师、博士后研究员和研究生的专业和社交互动获得信心， 和g)获得从事生物医学研究事业的灵感。NICHD R25夏季研究计划 实习生受到寄宿教师的密切指导，他们与研究生和博士后并肩工作 坐在长椅上的研究人员。实习生有很多机会与教职员工、博士后、研究生、 UO本科生，以及NICHD R25项目和其他校园研究项目的实习生同事。这个 体验是对研究科学家的生活的一种沉浸，该研究科学家正在从事一项处于 生物医学研究。方案活动除了密切指导的研究项目外，还包括 指导研讨会，欢迎实习生、导师和教职员工的培训，专业发展 研讨会系列、教师研讨会和讨论系列、实习生进度报告、反馈和 评价会议、每周社交时间、实地考察、文化、社交和娱乐活动以及 本科生研究座谈会和项目评估。

Project Summary / Abstract Abstract: This project will continue our NICHD R25 Summer Research Program at the University of Oregon (UO), supporting 15 undergraduate students per year for 5 years for summer research experience and training. The program has provided opportunities for undergraduates to participate in research projects that focus on the strategic aims of NICHD – child health and human development, with the long range goal of enhancing career opportunities for talented students in biomedical research. The principal aims of the program include contributing to national efforts to diversify the pool of highly trained biomedical researchers, enhancing access to research careers for students with limited access to research facilities and experience; and training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to be effective mentors. Our objectives for individual interns include: a) acquiring experience-based education in science research; b) developing appreciation of experimental approaches, strategic design, and creative reasoning; c) developing methodological skills; d) enhancing deductive and inductive reasoning skills; e) enhancing scientific communication skills; f) boosting personal confidence by professional and social interactions with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students, and g) gaining inspiration to pursue a career in biomedical research. NICHD R25 Summer Research Program interns are closely mentored by host faculty, and they work side by side with graduate and postdoctoral researchers at the bench. Interns have abundant opportunities to interact with faculty, postdocs, grad students, UO undergraduates, and fellow interns in the NICHD R25 program and other campus research programs. The experience is an immersion into the life of a research scientist working on a projects on the forefront of biomedical research. Program activities include, in addition to the closely mentored research project, a Mentoring Workshop, Welcoming Orientation for interns, mentors, and faculty, a Professional Development Workshop Series, a Faculty Seminar and Discussion Series, Intern Progress Reports, Feedback and Evaluation Meetings, a weekly Social hour, Field trips, cultural, social and recreational activities, an Undergraduate Research Symposium, and Program Evaluation.
