The Biomedical Summer Undergaduate Research Experiences (BSURE) Program

描述(由申请人提供)： 密歇根大学生物医学暑期本科生研究体验计划(BSURE)将在五年内为从密歇根大学和几乎没有本科生研究机会的机构招收至少30个大学学分的本科生提供为期10周的住宿研究项目。招募将针对在科学界代表性不足的群体，每年有25名参与者被选为BSURE学者。参与者将开展个人研究项目，并通过项目主任查尔斯·比伯里奇主持的强制性研讨会接受科学交流和科学伦理方面的指导。他将定期与BSURE学者们会面，跟踪项目进展，并讨论与生物医学研究职业相关的问题。所有参与者都将在8月份的密歇根大学夏季研究节上展示科学海报。密歇根大学的学生可以在学年期间继续他们的项目，以获得持续的研究经验，并鼓励所有参与者重新申请连续一年的任命。计划活动，包括要求参与者居住在校园住房，将建立这些年轻科学家之间的同志情谊，并鼓励他们追求生物医学研究事业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomedical Summer Undergraduate Research Experiences (BSURE) Program at UMBC will provide ten-week residential research programs over five years for undergraduates with at least 30 college credits recruited from UMBC and institutions with few opportunities for undergraduate research. Recruitment will target groups underrepresented in the sciences with twenty five participants selected annually as BSURE Scholars. Participants will conduct individual research projects and receive instruction in scientific communication and ethics in science through mandatory seminars led by Program Director Charles Bieberich. He will meet regularly with the BSURE Scholars to track program progress and discuss issues related to careers in biomedical research. All participants will present scientific posters at the annual UMBC Summer Research Fest in August. UMBC students may continue their projects during the academic year for sustained research experiences and all participants will be encouraged to reapply for successive year appointments. Program activities, including the requirement for participants to reside in campus housing, will build camaraderie among these young scientists and encourage their pursuit of biomedical research careers.
