This is the 2​nd renewal application of the Alpert Medical School Summer Research Program (AMSSRP). The ​overall goal of the AMSSRP is to provide ​12 ​medical students with the opportunity to have a mentored research experience annually under the guidance of Brown University faculty. Designated faculty trainers are the principal investigators for research programs focused on the molecular basis and pathology of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and blood diseases and/or disease outcomes and prevention. The current program offers 8 medical students, who have just completed their 1​ year of medical school, a 9 week summer research st experience that includes a collaborative, multidisciplinary, mentored research project, didactic training, and career development activities to enhance their understanding, and give them the hands-on experience of a career as a physician-scientist. The AMSSRP is geared to expose students to the critical role played by physician-scientists in translational research and to inspire these students to embark on this career path of exploration and discovery. NIH has consistently made translational and ‘bench-to-bedside’ research a priority. However, the increase in NIH support of biomedical basic research has not correlated with an increase in the discovery of efficacious therapies or diagnostics to battle human diseases. This disparity may be due in part to the decrease in the number of physicians who pursue research careers, a decline that may result from a lack of mentorship, rising costs of medical school education, the length of time of MD-PhD programs, and a perception that physician-scientists are not as highly regarded as clinicians in the hospital setting. In addition, developing knowledge base and research skill competencies for clinically trained physicians is time consuming and often learned outside of medical school didactics. The AMSSRP serves to dispel this trend by partnering medical students with successful and active mentors engaged in cutting edge research and exposing them to the excitement of biomedical research discoveries related to cardiovascular, pulmonary and blood health and diseases during their medical school years. By engaging medical students early in their training, we hope to stimulate a lifelong drive of scientific inquiry and a successful research career.

这是阿尔伯特医学院暑期研究项目的第二次​续签申请 (AMSSRP)。​的总体目标是为​12​医学生提供 每年有机会在布朗的指导下进行指导研究 大学教职员工。指定的教员培训员是研究的主要调查者。 课程侧重于心血管、肺和心脏疾病的分子基础和病理学 血液病和/或疾病后果和预防。目前的计划提供8项医疗服务 刚刚完成​医学院一年的学生，为期9周的暑期研究 ST 体验包括协作、多学科、有指导的研究项目 培训和职业发展活动，以增进他们的了解，并给予他们 作为一名内科科学家的职业实践经验。AMSSRP旨在公开 让学生了解内科科学家在翻译研究中所起的关键作用，并启发他们 这些学生走上了探索和发现这条职业道路。 美国国立卫生研究院一直将翻译性研究和“床边”研究作为优先事项。然而， NIH对生物医学基础研究的支持增加与 发现与人类疾病作斗争的有效疗法或诊断方法。这种差异 可能部分原因是从事研究职业的医生数量减少， 下降可能是由于缺乏导师，医学院教育成本上升， 医学博士项目的时间长度，以及对内科科学家不是很高的看法 在医院环境中被视为临床医生。此外，开发知识库和 受过临床培训的医生的研究技能能力是耗时的，而且通常是学习的 在医学院的教学之外。AMSSRP通过合作消除了这一趋势 拥有成功和积极导师的医学生从事尖端研究和 让他们接触到与心血管相关的生物医学研究发现的兴奋， 在他们的医学院学习期间，他们的肺和血液健康和疾病。通过参与 在医学生的早期培训中，我们希望激发终身科学探究的动力 以及成功的研究事业。
