Short Term Research Training for Medical Students

摘要 T35应用程序的总体目标是刺激新一代 物理学家和科学家为了实现这一目标，我们建议招聘最优秀的， 最聪明的UTHSC医学生对医学研究感兴趣，并提供 在学校的第一年和第二年之间的刺激和结构化的夏季经验 旨在鼓励他们在职业生涯后期参加额外的研究培训。他们 1）在有资金支持、经验丰富的教师的监督下制定书面提案 导师，2）在建立和生产实验室或临床 设施2个月之间的第一年和第二年的医学院，3）报告他们的 结果口头和书面形式，4）参加研讨会，和5）接受指导， 负责任地进行研究。这些经验将提高他们的兴趣， 对学术医学职业的认识。每年将提供12个培训职位。 在教师研究导师的指导下，学生将制定4-5页的提案， 是目标导向的，可实现的，并包括一个假设，文献综述和方法。 申请人将通过同行评审的基础上选择的建议，生产力， 导师和培训环境。在项目结束时，需要一份最终的书面报告。 计划的其他改进包括系列研讨会、专题讲座和机会， 展示并发表作品。将继续作出特别努力， 少数民族代表人数不足。39名教职员工，持有超过1700万美元， 建议将年度赠款作为核心导师。有二十位导师 由NIDDK资助的研究活动（13/39）或与NIDDK领域直接相关的研究活动， 研究兴趣（7/39）。其余的（19/39）是优秀的导师， 在NIDDK直接感兴趣的领域以外的领域进行研究。各种科学 计划（基础，临床和翻译）将被考虑资助，以 适应广泛的医学生的利益。

Abstract The overall goal of this T35 application is to stimulate the development of a new generation of physician-scientists. In order to accomplish this goal, we propose to recruit the best and brightest UTHSC medical students with an interest in medical research and provide a stimulating and structured summer experience between the first and second years of school designed to encourage them to enter into additional research training later in their careers. They will 1) develop written proposals under the supervision of funded, experienced faculty preceptors, 2) conduct their projects in established and productive laboratories or clinical facilities for 2 months between their first year and second years of medical school, 3) report their results in oral and written form, 4) participate in seminars, and 5) receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research. These experiences will enhance their interest in and awareness of careers in academic medicine. Twelve training positions will be offered each year. With the guidance of faculty research mentors, students will develop 4-5 page proposals that are goal-oriented, achievable, and include a hypothesis, literature review, and methodology. Applicants will be selected by peer review based on the quality of the proposal, productivity of the mentor, and training environment. At the end of the project, a final written report is required. Other Program enhancements include a seminar series, special lectures, and opportunities to present and publish the work. Special efforts will continue to be made to attract underrepresented minority participants. Thirty-nine faculty members, holding over $17 million in annual grant awards are proposed as core preceptors. Twenty of the preceptors are engaged in research activities that are funded by NIDDK (13/39) or are directly relevant to NIDDK areas of research interest (7/39). The remainder (19/39) are excellent mentors conducting funded research in areas outside the immediate interest areas of NIDDK. A wide variety of scientific programs (basic, clinical and translational) will be considered for funding in order to accommodate a broad range of medical student interests.
