Training - Infectious Disease, Microbiology & Immunology

超出所提供的空间。人们越来越担心在这个国家接受培训的内科科学家数量严重下降。内科科学家是医学研究链中的关键一环。调查显示，医学生选择学术生涯的一个重要影响因素是在医学院期间获得指导研究经验的机会。这项培训补助金的目的是为布法罗大学医学院的医科学生提供夏季研究奖学金。在过去的十年中，传染病、微生物学和免疫学领域产生了激烈的研究活动。新技术和新发现使这些学科的研究发生了革命性的变化。布法罗大学拥有丰富而令人兴奋的环境来进行这些领域的研究。这项培训补助金将用于资助八名一年级和二年级的医学院学生，让他们在暑期期间花10周时间完成一项有指导的研究项目。将积极招募少数族裔申请人。拥有活跃的校外资助研究项目的20名教师将作为学生的导师池。该计划的基础将是在该领域专家的指导下进行原创性研究的经验，这些专家在指导学员方面有着非常成功的记录。每周一次的研讨会/讨论系列，在此期间，教师将讨论他们自己的研究，穿插有关科学诚信和相关问题的会议，以补充研究经验。学生们将在每年秋天的年度研究日上展示他们的研究成果。将寻求学生和教师的反馈，并跟踪参与学生的职业选择。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. There is growing concern about a serious decline in the number of physician scientists being trained in this country. Physician scientists are a critical link in the medical research chain. Surveys have revealed thatan important influence for medical students who choose academic careers is the opportunityfor a mentored research experience during medical school. The purpose of this training grant is to support summer research fellowships for medical students at the Universityat Buffalo School Medicine. Over the past decade, the areas of infectiousdiseases, microbiology and immunologyhave generated intense research activity. New techniques and discoveries have revolutionizedresearch in these disciplines. The University at Buffalo has a rich and exciting environment to perform research in these areas. This training grant will support stipends for eight first and second year medical studentsto spend 10 weeks during their summer sessions performing a mentored research project. Minority applicants will be actively recruited. Twenty faculty members with active, extramurally funded research programs will serve as a pool of mentors for students.The foundation of the program will be the experience of performing original research guided by faculty who are experts in the field with highly successful track records in mentoring trainees. A weekly seminar/discussion series during which faculty will discuss their own research interspersed with sessions on scientific integrity and related issues will supplementthe research experience. Students will present their work at an annual research day each fall. Feedback from students and faculty will be sought and the career choices of the participating students will be tracked.
