PROJECT SUMMARY This application is for a competitive renewal of R25 NS076445 to fund “Summer Program for Under- represented Students (SPURS)”, to be renamed “Summer Program for Undergraduate Rising Stars (SPURS)”, through the RFA-HL-21-168 mechanism. 100% of the proposed funding will be used to support SPURS students working on neuroscience projects central to the mission of NINDS. SPURS will provide an intensive, undergraduate biomedical research experience for talented African-American/Black, Hispanic Latino(a), Native American/Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, first-generation, and economically disadvantaged students in the neurosciences at Columbia University. SPURS will train 14 outstanding students each year who are undergraduates majoring in areas relevant to neuroscience and biomedical research.Columbia University's SPURS Program provides an intense undergraduate research experience on the campus of Columbia's College of Physicians & Surgeons (P&S) for talented students from backgrounds that are under-represented in biomedical research. SPURS participants are accepted from the City University of New York (CUNY) senior colleges, including Hunter, Brooklyn, Queens, and City Colleges, as well as universities and colleges nationwide. SPURS provides extensive training in basic and translational neuroscience research, and enhances the likelihood that the students will achieve a career in science by pursuing an advanced degree (M.D. and/or Ph.D.). To expand opportunities for under-represented minority undergraduate students to participate in high quality, focused and sustained research experiences in the neurosciences, the SPURS program leverages outstanding resources and faculty mentors in the neurosciences. Over the last funding period, applications have soared and in the upcoming period, we propose to continue training highly qualified minority student participants. Students perform hands-on research for nine summer weeks under the mentorship of NINDS-supported Columbia University neuroscientists (currently 89 Columbia University researchers receive NINDS support). In addition to specific training in neuroscience, the students have received in-depth training in research methodology including: (a) the design and analysis of experiments; (b) critical reading of scientific literature through journal clubs and discussions of ethics in science; (c) the presentation of scientific results at laboratory meetings; (d) presentation of their research at poster sessions; (e) an oral presentation of their research to an audience of scientists; and (f) career counseling. Finally, the research training will be provided in a uniquely enriching setting that includes weekly meetings with under- represented minority role models in biomedical research. The SPURS program addresses the critical need to increase the pipeline of highly qualified minority trainees into neuroscience.

项目摘要 该申请是为R25 NS076445的竞争续约，以资助“夏季计划” 代表学生（马刺）”，将更名为“本科新星夏季计划 （马刺）”，通过RFA-HL-21-168机制。拟议的资金的100％用于支持 马刺学生从事Ninds任务的核心神经科学项目。马刺将提供 有才华的非洲/黑人，西班牙裔的大量，本科生物医学研究经验 拉丁裔（A），美国原住民/阿拉斯加本地人，太平洋岛民，第一代，经济不利 哥伦比亚大学神经科学的学生。马刺每年将培训14名杰出学生 在与神经科学和生物医学研究有关的领域主修的本科生。 大学的马刺计划在校园内提供了丰富的本科研究经验 哥伦比亚医师与外科医生学院（P＆S），来自背景的才华横溢的学生 生物医学研究的代表性不足。马刺参与者被新城市大学接受 约克（CUNY）高级大学，包括亨特，布鲁克林，皇后和城市学院以及大学 和全国大学。马刺提供了基本和转化神经科学的广泛培训 研究，并增加了学生通过追求科学职业的可能性 高级学位（医学博士和/或博士学位）。扩大代表性不足的少数族裔本科的机会 学生参加神经科学的高质量，专注和持续的研究经验， 马刺计划利用神经科学的出色资源和教师导师。最后 资金期，申请飙升，在接下来的时期，我们建议继续培训 合格的少数民族学生参与者。学生在九个夏季的九个夏季进行动手研究 NINDS支持哥伦比亚大学神经科学家的遗产（目前有89个哥伦比亚大学 研究人员得到Ninds的支持）。除了在神经科学方面的特定培训外，学生还 接受研究方法的深入培训，包括：（a）实验的设计和分析； （b） 通过期刊俱乐部和科学伦理讨论对科学文学的批判性阅读； （c） 在实验室会议上介绍科学结果； （d）在海报会议上介绍他们的研究； （e）将他们的研究口头介绍给科学家的受众； （f）职业咨询。最后， 研究培训将在一个独特的丰富环境中提供，其中包括每周的会议 代表生物医学研究中的少数群体模型。马刺计划解决了至关重要的需求 将高素质的少数学员的管道提高到神经科学中。
