SUMMARY: The goal of the Dental and Oral Research Summers (DORS) program is to create pathways to careers in dental, oral, and craniofacial research by opening doors to undergraduate scholars particularly from rural and under- represented communities within Oregon by providing summer research internships. Our dental school has recently received an NIH/NIDCR T90 training grant and has the infrastructure to build upon for this current R25 application. At the core of both training opportunities are the leading experts in oral microbiology, dental materials, and tissue regeneration. We have expanded the breadth of opportunities by creating a second research track to include community dentistry and nutrition. We have established an internship in Southwestern Oregon for learners who would not otherwise be available to spend a summer in Portland due to the distance. Summer interns will be welcomed into these rich laboratory and community environments. We have partnered with the state of Oregon's community leaders in rural health and in diversity to attract a robust cohort of applicants representing under-represented minorities and nontraditional learners. We have identified peer mentors from our current DMD Student Research Group to provide direction during the summer. And, we have a strong Leadership and Advisory Team who are themselves diverse and passionate about mentoring undergraduate research. While several excellent programs already exist for internships in biomedical research at OHSU to recruit undergraduates, OHSU currently lacks a mechanism to recruit learners specifically interested in dental, oral and craniofacial research. The DORS will establish partnerships with existing biomedical training programs at OHSU and Portland State University and build our cohort in dental, oral and craniofacial research. Success of this application will lead to increasing the number of dental scientists in the state of Oregon and the number of diverse dental scientists by providing them a strong summer research program early in their careers.

总结： 牙科和口腔研究夏季（DORS）计划的目标是创造途径，在牙科， 口腔和颅面研究，向本科学者，特别是来自农村和 代表俄勒冈州内的社区提供暑期研究实习。我们的牙科学校 最近收到了NIH/NIDCR T90培训补助金，并拥有为当前R25建立基础设施 应用程序.在这两个培训机会的核心是在口腔微生物学，牙科， 材料和组织再生。我们通过创造第二个 研究轨道包括社区牙科和营养。我们已经在西南部建立了实习 俄勒冈州的学习者谁否则将无法在波特兰度过一个夏天，由于距离。 暑期实习生将欢迎进入这些丰富的实验室和社区环境。我们合作了 与俄勒冈州在农村健康和多样性方面的社区领导人合作，以吸引大批申请者 代表人数不足的少数民族和非传统学习者。我们已经确定了同行导师从我们的 目前DMD学生研究小组提供方向在夏季。而且，我们有一个强大的领导 和咨询团队谁是自己的多元化和热情的指导本科生的研究。而 OHSU已经有几个优秀的生物医学研究实习项目， 大学生，OHSU目前缺乏一个机制，招募学生特别感兴趣的牙科，口腔和 颅面研究DORS将与OHSU现有的生物医学培训项目建立伙伴关系 和波特兰州立大学，并建立我们的队列在牙科，口腔和颅面研究。成功的这项 申请将导致增加牙科科学家的数量在俄勒冈州和数量的多样化 牙科科学家通过为他们提供一个强大的夏季研究计划在他们的职业生涯早期。
