Short-Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Res

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的15年里，芝加哥普利兹克医学院一直致力于增加生物医学研究人员的多样性。少数民族和弱势科学家在现代临床和基础科学研究中的代表性尤其不足，很少鼓励这些人从事学术事业。通过短期研究教育计划早期接触研究机会，以增加健康相关研究的多样性，提供了一种机制，以丰富少数民族和弱势学生在大学和医学生一级的经验，建立在科学的立足点，可能提供生物医学研究的进一步职业发展的基础。要求支持资助一个为期8周的本科课程，重点研究心脏，血管，血液和肺的疾病及其治疗。将从国家人才库中征聘少数民族和处境不利的学生，并将使用在线申请收集数据，供PSOMER指导委员会评价候选人。被选中的参与者将具有特殊的学术能力和生物医学研究的动机。还要求提供支助，资助一个为期12周的医科学生方案，在上述科学领域进行研究。在普利兹克就读的少数民族和弱势医学生谁表示有兴趣考虑学术医学生涯将被选择为研究机会由普利兹克夏季研究指导委员会的基础上的研究建议，导师的实力的优点，以及研究计划的合理性，以在可用的时间内完成拟议的项目。这两个计划的目标是帮助启动少数民族和弱势学生的生物医学职业生涯，因此将实施严格的跟踪计划，以评估该计划的成功。在芝加哥大学的指导环境的延续是通过与普利兹克鲍曼协会的方案的协会培育。这项措施的目的是支持有意愿的少数民族个人发展，以追求学术职业道路。它每两个月举行一次会议，有可能培养那些在医学职业生涯早期接触过生物医学研究的参与者。项目叙事管道计划，给一个积极的和准备充分的少数民族和弱势学生的早期介绍有可能解决生物医学研究缺乏多样性。由NHLBI短期研究教育计划支持的两个项目，以增加在芝加哥大学进行的健康相关研究的多样性，将为本科生和医学生提供参与高质量，假设驱动的研究的机会，希望培养他们追求学术/研究事业的愿望。 (End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For the past 15 years, the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine has been strongly committed to increasing the diversity within the biomedical research workforce. Minority and disadvantaged scientists are particularly underrepresented in modern clinical and basic science research and few such individuals are encouraged to embark upon academic careers. Early exposure to research opportunities through the Short Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research provides a mechanism to enrich the experiences of minority and disadvantaged students at the college and medical student level to establish a foothold in science that may provide the underpinnings for further career development in biomedical research. Support is requested to fund an 8-week undergraduate program in research focused on the diseases and treatments thereof of the heart, blood vessels, blood, and lungs. Minority and disadvantaged students will be recruited from a national pool and an online application will be used to collect data for evaluation of candidates by the PSOMER Steering Committee. The selected participants will be of exceptional scholastic ability and motivation for biomedical research. Support is also requested to fund a 12-week medical student program in research in the scientific areas mentioned above. Minority and disadvantaged medical students enrolled at Pritzker who express an interest in considering an academic medicine career will be selected for a research opportunity by the Pritzker Summer Research Steering Committee on the basis of the merit of the research proposal, strength of the mentor, and the soundness of the research plan to be accomplished in the time available to the proposed project. The goals of both programs are to help to initiate careers in biomedicine among minority and disadvantaged students, and thus a rigorous tracking plan is to be implemented to evaluate the success of the program. Continuation of the mentored environment at the University of Chicago is fostered through the association of the programs with the Bowman Society at Pritzker. The aim of this measure is to support the development of inclined minority individuals to pursue academic career pathways. It meets bimonthly and has the potential for nurturing participants who have been exposed to biomedical research early in their careers in medicine. Project Narrative Pipeline programs that give an early introduction to motivated and well-prepared minority and disadvantaged students have the potential to address the lack of diversity in biomedical research. Two programs supported by the NHLBI Short Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health-Related Research conducted at the University of Chicago will provide undergraduate and medical students with the opportunity to become involved in high-quality, hypothesis-driven research in hopes of fostering their desire for pursuit of academic/research careers.
