KUH Undergraduate Summer Research Program at Yale

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份申请，旨在提供现代肾脏，泌尿科和血液学研究方法的强化培训，旨在培养本科生从事生物医学研究。每年夏季申请资助12名学生，为致力于研究训练的本科生提供支持。来自不同部门（内科、泌尿外科、遗传学、细胞生物学、细胞和分子生理学、流行病学和公共卫生）的实验室和患者研究提供培训，这些部门通常在理解健康和疾病状态下肾脏、下尿路和造血的生物学方面相互关联。本科生的经验不仅可以通过实验来增强，还可以通过由专门的导师提供的有组织的教学时间表，以及在选定的部门提供的广泛的教学会议来增强。该学生还将有机会在夏季轮换结束时在NIH展示他或她的研究。总体目标是让这个项目的学生在研究密集型机构的研究生或医学院注册。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to provide intensive training in modern methods of kidney, urology and hematology research with the intent to foster undergraduate students to pursue a career in biomedical research. Funding for twelve students per summer is requested to provide support for the undergraduate students who are committed to research training. Training is provided in both laboratory and patient-based research from the various departments (Internal Medicine, Urology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Cellular and Molecular Physiology, and Epidemiology and Public Health) that are often interconnected in understanding biology of the kidney, lower urinary tract, and hematopoiesis during health and disease states. The undergraduate students' experience will be enhanced not only by performing experiments but by an organized didactic teaching schedule given by dedicated mentors, as well as a wide array of teaching conferences available in the selected departments. The student will also have the opportunity to present his or her research at the NIH at the end of the summer rotation. The overall goal is for the students in this program to enroll in graduate or medical school at a research- intensive institution.
