 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R25-proposal, entitled Short-Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research, will focus the considerable strengths and diversity of multi-departmental and institutional research dealing with vascular biology at Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College into a coherent framework for introducing research design and methods. Stipends for 10 undergraduate students will be available. The undergraduate students will be recruited from across the country and from those groups of individuals described in the R25 initiative. Every effort will be made to have these students participate in the program for two consecutive summers. While the training program will focus primarily on research, in addition to the required workshop on Ethics in Research and attendance and participation in a seminar series presented by the faculty preceptors, the students will be offered the opportunity to attend a GRE preparation course, and a workshop on opportunities (careers) in research. At the end of the summer, the students will present orally their work to the other students and the faculty, very much in the style of talks given at national meetings. This will be accompanied by a short written report of their summer research activities, in the style of a journal article. This training is intended to prepare the students for what is needed and expected to succeed in graduate school, to increase their interest in vascular biology research, and to introduce them to research - techniques, methodologies and career options. Training facilities include 9 departments in 9 adjacent buildings at Vanderbilt and the Division of Biomedical Sciences, including Cancer Biology, Pharmacology, Pathology Microbiology and Immunology, and Neuroscience, at Meharry Medical College. Two of the major goals of this proposal are (1) to provide the type of environment that will encourage students to choose a career of scientific investigation, and (2) to help increase the diversity of those working in vascular biology research, whether it be at academic institutions or at research opportunities in the private sector. Those successful individuals, will, in turn, act as role models for future students interested in research careers. Another important goal is to provide multidisciplinary research training for future scientists whic will be critical to discovering new information that will lead to improved diagnosis, prevention and therapy for cardiovascular diseases.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本R25提案题为“增加健康相关研究多样性的短期研究教育计划”，将集中范德比尔特大学和梅哈里医学院血管生物学多部门和机构研究的相当大的优势和多样性，将其纳入一个连贯的框架，以引入研究设计和方法。将提供10名本科生的津贴。本科生将从全国各地和R25倡议中描述的个人群体中招募。将尽一切努力让这些学生连续两个夏天参加该计划。虽然培训计划将主要集中在研究，除了所需的研讨会研究伦理和出席和参与由教师导师提出的研讨会系列，学生将有机会参加GRE准备课程，并在研究机会（职业）研讨会。在夏季结束时，学生们将口头介绍他们的工作，以其他学生和教师，非常在全国会议上给出的谈话风格。这将伴随着他们的夏季研究活动的简短书面报告，在期刊文章的风格。该培训旨在为学生做好准备，以满足他们在研究生院取得成功的需要，提高他们对血管生物学研究的兴趣，并向他们介绍研究技术，方法和职业选择。培训设施包括范德比尔特的9个相邻建筑中的9个部门和梅哈里医学院的生物医学科学部，包括癌症生物学，药理学，病理学微生物学和免疫学以及神经科学。该提案的两个主要目标是：（1）提供鼓励学生选择科学调查职业的环境类型，以及（2）帮助增加血管生物学研究人员的多样性，无论是在学术机构还是在私营部门的研究机会。这些成功的个人，将反过来，作为未来的学生感兴趣的研究生涯的榜样。另一个重要目标是为未来的科学家提供多学科研究培训，这对于发现新信息至关重要，这些信息将导致改善心血管疾病的诊断，预防和治疗。(End摘要）
