OSU Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science

项目摘要/摘要 该项目解决了生物医学信息学和数据科学领域缺乏多样性的问题。我们 建议一种称为跨学科暑期研究体验(ISRE)的暑期实习体验 俄亥俄州立大学生物医学信息学系。这个项目的最终目标是 鼓励和支持对BMI和数据科学职业感兴趣的代表不足的学生。我们 在两个方面采取独特的实习方式。首先，我们关注跨学科的双重导师制。这 这意味着每个学生将有两位来自不同领域和研究背景的导师。我们的目标是 通过接触不同的观点，帮助学生获得更广阔的视野。第二 作为这笔赠款的一部分，创新将在人工智能挑战中提供指导经验 竞争，而不是传统的研究体验。人工智能竞赛培养团队合作、创造力和速度 思考。我们将研究这一经历是否与传统的指导性研究具有相同的影响 经验。我们有一个支持性的部门环境、机构以及敬业和敬业的教职员工。 会员。目前在该领域工作的教职员工有责任努力增加多样性并支持那些 这些代表人数不足，无法为未来建立更强大和更多样化的劳动力队伍。

Project Summary/Abstract This project addresses the lack of diversity in the field of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science. We propose a summer internship experience called the interdisciplinary summer research experience (ISRE) in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the Ohio State University. The ultimate goal of this project is to encourage and support underrepresented students who are interested in careers in BMI and data science. We take a unique approach to the internship in two ways. First we focus on interdisciplinary dual mentorship. This means that each student will have two mentors from different fields and research backgrounds. The goal is to help the student gain a broader perspective of the field by exposure to different viewpoints. The second innovation as part of this grant is to offer a mentored experience in an artificial intelligence challenge competition instead of a traditional research experience. AI competitions foster teamwork, creativity, and quick thinking. We will study whether this experience has the same impact as the traditional mentored research experience. We have a supportive departmental environment, institution, and dedicated and engaged faculty members. It is the responsibility of the faculty current in the field to work to increase diversity and support those that are underrepresented to build a stronger and more diverse workforce for the future.
