项目摘要

Project Summary The opportunity for undergraduates to conduct research is a critical element for developing a rigorous program in biomedical education. Specifically, it provides an experiences not normally part of lecture- or laboratory-based course work and it prepares students for post-graduate training or careers in basic research or clinical disciplines. However, opportunities for undergraduate biomedical research experiences are not uniformly available across the United States with both underrepresented minorities and students from primarily rural areas being especially underserved. Many of these undergraduates are first generation college students and attend institutions that less extramural support for biomedical research compared to institutions in more populous states. The Summer Program for Undergraduate Research in Addiction or SPURA at the University of South Dakota (USD) was developed to address this deficit with support from the NIDA and is seeking renewal of this support to continue this work. The specific aims of this program are: (1) To expand undergraduate research opportunities for students in South Dakota, with an emphasis on quality training of first generation college students, students from rural backgrounds, and students who are from underrepresented minorities. (2) To encourage a greater number of South Dakotan students to participate in research and to ultimately pursue post-graduate research careers and/or training in areas related to substance abuse and related mental health issues. (3) To advance the field of substance abuse and related or underlying mental health issues by fostering cross-collaborative student training and research at the University of South Dakota. Each summer, this program will enroll eight students in a multi-disciplinary research experience aimed at providing students with an opportunity to conduct mentored, hypothesis-driven studies in the fields related to drug addiction and underlying mental health issues. The program will incorporate a wide range of experimental approaches including human and animal behavior studies, systems neuroscience, neuropharmacology, and electrophysiology. Faculty involved in this program will include members of the Departments of Biology and Psychology (both part of the School of Arts and Sciences) and Basic Biomedical Sciences (part of the USD Sanford School of Medicine). Over the last four years the SPURA program has been highly successful having supported 36 students, all of whom have either continued their undergraduate studies, enrolled in research- or professional health-based post-graduate education programs, or have become employed.

项目概要本科生进行研究的机会是发展学术的关键因素严格的生物医学教育计划。具体来说，它提供了一种通常不寻常的体验讲座或实验室课程的一部分，为学生接受研究生培训做好准备或基础研究或临床学科的职业。不过，本科生的机会美国各地的生物医学研究经验并不统一代表性不足的少数群体和主要来自农村地区的学生所获得的服务尤其不足。这些本科生中有许多是第一代大学生，就读的院校较少与人口较多国家的机构相比，对生物医学研究的校外支持。这南方大学成瘾或 SPURA 本科生研究暑期项目达科他州（美元）的开发是为了在 NIDA 的支持下解决这一赤字，并正在寻求更新这种支持以继续这项工作。该计划的具体目标是： (1) 扩大南达科他州学生的本科研究机会，重视第一代大学生、农村学生的素质培养背景和来自代表性不足的少数族裔的学生。 (2) 鼓励更多南达科他州学生参与研究并最终追求研究生研究职业和/或与实质相关领域的培训虐待和相关的心理健康问题。 (3) 通过以下方式推进药物滥用和相关或潜在的心理健康问题领域的发展：促进南达科他大学的交叉合作学生培训和研究。每年夏天，该项目将招收八名学生进行多学科研究体验旨在为学生提供进行有指导的、假设驱动的研究的机会与毒瘾和潜在心理健康问题相关的领域。该计划将结合了广泛的实验方法，包括人类和动物行为研究、系统神经科学、神经药理学和电生理学。教师参与该计划将包括生物系和心理学系的成员（两者都是艺术与科学学院）和基础生物医学科学（美国桑福德学院的一部分）药品）。在过去的四年里，SPURA 计划取得了巨大成功，资助了 36 名学生，他们都继续本科学习，就读于以研究或专业健康为基础的研究生教育计划，或已成为受雇。
