DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To meet the healthcare challenges on which NIDDK focuses, it is essential that we nurture and build the physician-scientist workforce, preparing medical students from all areas of the US to become tomorrow's researchers. However, students in the western US have limited access to this type of training since almost all NIDDK-funded T35 programs are east of or near the Mississippi River; only two programs in Texas are significantly west of the River. We propose to expand NIDDK T35 training opportunities westward to students at the University of Utah (UU) School of Medicine (SOM) and the western IDeA states of Idaho (whose students attend UU SOM), Nevada (University of Nevada SOM), Montana, and Wyoming. Over the past decade the UU Health Sciences Center has built a dynamic research community that addresses the full range of health-related issues that are the focus of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIKKD), with a particular emphasis on diabetes and metabolism. Faculty members' grant-funded research spans the continuum of T1-T4 translational science and is supported by numerous institutional programs. In addition, faculty members have extensive experience in successfully mentoring trainees, helping to build the physician-scientist workforce. Thus, the UU Health Sciences Center is an ideal location to offer outstanding short-term research experiences for medical students. The goal and objectives of the new Medical Student Research Program in Metabolism, Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (MSRP-MDDK) are to: GOAL: Ignite in medical students a life-long interest in conducting research in metabolism, diabetes, digestion, blood cell development or kidney disease while also building their skills in creative and critical thinking. Objective 1: Engage 12 medical students/year in the exciting foundational, clinical and translational science discoveries taking place at the University of Utah. Trainees will participate in a mentored, 10-week summer research experience between their first and second years of medical school. Objective 2: Stimulate the development of trainees' creative and critical thinking skills through an innovative course that will be part of the summer experience. Objective 3: Encourage each trainee to discover the type of research he or she is most interested in pursuing as a physician. Fifty-three faculty mentors have agreed to participate in the program. Emerging mentors (14) will themselves receive training in mentoring. The PI/PD will be advised by an internal Steering Committee of NIDDK-funded investigators and SOM Curriculum Committee members. Multiple evaluation strategies will be used to provide formative feedback for program improvement as well as tracking students' career trajectories.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了应对NIDDK重点关注的医疗保健挑战，我们必须培养和建立医生科学家队伍，为来自美国各个领域的医学生做好准备，成为明天的研究人员。然而，美国西部的学生获得这种培训的机会有限，因为几乎所有NIDDK资助的T35项目都位于密西西比河以东或附近;德克萨斯州只有两个项目位于密西西比河以西。我们建议将NIDDK T35培训机会向西扩展到犹他州（UU）医学院（SOM）和爱达荷州（其学生参加UU SOM）、内华达州（内华达州SOM）、蒙大拿州和怀俄明州的西部IDEA州的学生。 在过去的十年中，UU健康科学中心建立了一个充满活力的研究社区，解决了糖尿病和消化和肾脏疾病（NIKKD）的国家研究所关注的全方位健康相关问题，特别强调糖尿病和代谢。教师的赠款资助的研究跨越了T1-T4转化科学的连续体，并得到了许多机构计划的支持。此外，教职员工在成功指导学员方面拥有丰富的经验，有助于建立医生科学家队伍。因此，UU健康科学中心是为医学生提供优秀短期研究经验的理想场所。 新的医学生代谢，糖尿病，消化和肾脏疾病研究计划（MSRP-MDDK）的目标和目的是：目标：培养医学生对代谢，糖尿病，消化，血细胞发育或肾脏疾病进行研究的终身兴趣，同时培养他们的创造性和批判性思维技能。目标一：每年吸引12名医学生参与犹他州大学令人兴奋的基础，临床和转化科学发现。学员将参加 在他们医学院第一年和第二年之间的一个为期10周的暑期研究经历中。目标二：通过一个创新的课程，刺激学员的创造性和批判性思维能力的发展，这将是夏季经验的一部分。目标3：鼓励每个受训者发现他或她作为医生最感兴趣的研究类型。 53名教师导师已同意参加该计划。新导师（14名）本身将接受辅导培训。PI/PD将由NIDDK资助的调查人员和SOM课程委员会成员组成的内部指导委员会提供建议。多种评估策略将被用来提供形成性的反馈，以改善计划，以及跟踪学生的职业轨迹。
