DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to effectively address the need for physician scientists who are trained to conduct biomedical research, we propose a short-term research training program for pre-matriculating and matriculated medical students at LSUHSC-New Orleans. This Summer Internship Program (SIP) will support ten students to work with researchers within the Alcohol Research Center (ARC) and is designed to cultivate their interest in research careers. We have identified many faculty mentors who are working in the area alcohol abuse and related diseases and have the support of the ARC. Students will conduct intensive hands-on clinical or basic science research for 10 weeks in the summer, working with ARC faculty. Those students who participate for a second summer (pre-matriculated students) will act as peer mentors to incoming students, thus providing an important mentoring component to the program. The goals of this program include: 1) to provide medical students with research experiences; 2) to provide students with strong career and research mentoring; 3) to increase the participation in research by women and minority students; 4) to provide summer interns with the career skills they will need to succeed in academic medicine. In addition to their research experience, students will receive didactic training on: lab safety, responsible conduct of research, HIPPA, use of animals in research, skill development in writing abstracts and presenting research results (oral and poster presentations). At the end of the summer, students will give an oral presentation at the Summer Research Symposium; they will also be supported to present their data at national or regional meetings. We will work to recruit 20% underrepresented minority participants, reflecting the demographics of the LSU medical school class. In order to determine the impact the program has on individual participants, summer interns will complete Goals Attainment Scales (GAS) as well as Research Self Efficacy (RSE) surveys. GAS has been shown to be a valuable and flexible technique for the evaluation of summer research training programs. RSE is a major predictor of career choice and performance. We will also conduct formative and summative evaluations concerning the entire program, in order to determine what programmatic changes may be needed and to tailor the program to better meet the needs of the students. Lastly, working with the Office of Student Affairs, we will implement a career tracking system which will measure the long-term impact of their summer experience on career choices and research participation, thus quantifying the long-term impact of this program. This program will not help to create the next generation of alcohol researchers but also will prepare physicians to treat the variety of alcohol-related diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了有效地解决谁是训练有素的进行生物医学研究的医生科学家的需要，我们提出了一个短期的研究培训计划，在LSUHSC-新奥尔良预科和录取的医学生。这个暑期实习计划（SIP）将支持十名学生与酒精研究中心（ARC）的研究人员合作，旨在培养他们对研究职业的兴趣。我们已经确定了许多教师导师谁是在酗酒和相关疾病领域的工作，并有ARC的支持。学生将在夏季进行为期10周的密集的动手临床或基础科学研究，与ARC教师合作。那些参加第二个夏天的学生（预科生）将担任即将入学的学生的同伴导师，从而为该计划提供重要的指导组成部分。该计划的目标包括：1）为医学生提供研究经验; 2）为学生提供强有力的职业和研究指导; 3）增加妇女和少数民族学生参与研究; 4）为暑期实习生提供他们在学术医学中取得成功所需的职业技能。除了他们的研究经验，学生将接受教学培训：实验室安全，负责任的研究行为，HIPPA，在研究中使用动物，撰写摘要和展示研究结果（口头和海报演示）的技能发展。在夏季结束时，学生将在夏季研究研讨会上做口头报告;他们还将得到支持，在国家或区域会议上展示他们的数据。我们将努力招募20%代表性不足的少数民族参与者，反映路易斯安那州立大学医学院班级的人口统计数据。为了确定该计划对个人参与者的影响，暑期实习生将完成目标实现量表（GAS）以及研究自我效能感（RSE）调查。GAS已被证明是一种有价值的和灵活的技术，用于评估夏季研究培训计划。RSE是职业选择和表现的主要预测因素。我们还将对整个计划进行形成性和总结性评估，以确定可能需要进行哪些程序更改，并调整计划以更好地满足学生的需求。最后，与学生事务办公室合作，我们将实施一个职业跟踪系统，该系统将衡量他们的暑期经历对职业选择和研究参与的长期影响，从而量化该计划的长期影响。该计划不仅有助于培养下一代酒精研究人员，还将为医生治疗各种与酒精有关的疾病做好准备。
