Medical Student Summer Research Program

该培训计划的目的是促进医学生发展成为医生，科学家， 通过对可用于治疗或治愈的途径进行严格调查， 心血管、肺部、血液学和睡眠疾病。爱荷华州医学生研究计划 （IMSRP）通过利用招生方面的机构优势实现这一变革目标， 跨部门合作，创造身临其境的指导研究机会。培训补助金 该提案寻求资助16名学生参加为期12周的心脏、肺、血液或血液学夏季奖学金 睡眠相关的研究项目。学生将与其中一个 66名热心和经验丰富的导师列在我们策划的参与教师名册上， 提交一份提案，然后由医学院研究的两名成员进行专业审查 以马克思优秀的意见书，具有强大的指导计划和明确的演讲途径， 出版物由研究理事会选择资助。通过培训补助金提供的资金 卡弗医学院将与之相匹配，扩大该奖项的影响。项目领导 我们将全面接纳学生并密切关注他们的进展。与提供的广泛机会协同作用 通过相关的卓越中心和研究所，学者将获得方法指导， 提高研究的可复制性和负责任的行为，以及导师指导的期刊俱乐部 和研究研讨会。夏季奖学金之后将举行医学生研究会议 并对所有参与者进行调查，以使计划不断发展。在接下来的几年里，学生们 强烈鼓励参加IMSRP的研究技能课程，为期一年的研究机会， 研究区分轨道，和双学位课程。在每个阶段，学生的充分参与， 通过已经证明的机制，鼓励在医学领域代表性不足的群体 他们在招聘和留住人才方面的效用。我们与导师一起监控学生， 通过持续的支持，他们走向研究生涯的道路， 可在我们的机构，包括住院期间的资金，奖学金，和初级教师的任命。 为了让我们自己和我们的学生在每一个机会做出有意义的改变，我们批判性地评估 我们的计划，每年，并使用形成性反馈和自我反思相结合，以提高 一个程序，旨在充分暴露学生的整个研究过程，从广度和深度， 撰写分析数据的提案，在地方和国家会议上提出，并最终传播 发表在同行评议的期刊上。该方案的长期影响是在全国范围内传播 一个多样化的医生骨干，他们在职业生涯的早期就对基于团队的科学发展了赞赏， 有能力做出发现和基于证据的决定，这将改善公共卫生。

The aim of this training program is to foster the development of medical students into physician-scientists that positively impact human health through rigorous investigation of pathways that can be exploited to treat or cure cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematology and sleep diseases. The Iowa Medical Student Research Program (IMSRP) achieves this transformative goal by leveraging institutional strengths in student recruitment and interdepartmental collaboration to create immersive mentored research opportunities. This training grant proposal seeks funding for 16 students to participate in a 12-week summer fellowship in a heart, lung, blood or sleep-related research project between their first two years of medical school. Students will work with one of the 66 enthusiastic and experienced mentors listed on our curated roster of Participating Faculty to draft and submit a proposal which is then expertly reviewed by two members of the College of Medicine’s research committee. Outstanding submissions with strong mentorship plans and a clear pathway to presentation and publication are selected by the Research Council for funding. The funds provided through this training grant would be matched by the Carver College of Medicine, amplifying the impact of the award. Program leadership will fully onboard students and monitor their progress closely. In synergy with extensive opportunities provided through relevant Centers and Institutes of excellence, scholars will receive Instruction in Methods for Enhancing Reproducibility and the Responsible Conduct of Research, as well as mentor-guided journal clubs and research seminars. The summer fellowship will be followed by a Medical Student Research Conference and surveys of all participants to allow ongoing program evolution. In the years that follow, students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the IMSRP’s research skills course, year-long research opportunities, the Research Distinction Track, and dual degree programs. At every stage, full participation by students from groups that are underrepresented in medicine is encouraged through mechanisms that have demonstrated their utility in both recruitment and retention. We monitor students alongside their mentors as they continue their pathway towards a research career with incremental advancement through the continuity of support that is available at our institution, including funding during residency, fellowship, and junior faculty appointments. Challenging ourselves and our students to make meaningful change at every opportunity, we critically evaluate our program each year, and use a combination of formative feedback and self-reflection to enhance the breadth and depth of a program that is designed to fully expose students to the entire research process, from writing a proposal to analyzing data, presenting at local and national meetings, and ultimately disseminating the results in peer reviewed journals. The long-term impact of this program is the nationwide dissemination of a diverse cadre of physicians, who developed an appreciation for team-based science early in their career, and are equipped to make discoveries and evidence-based decisions that will improve public health.
