ST Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health Related Research

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划的目标是为本科生和研究型医学生提供来自不同的，代表性不足的背景与短期，密集的生物医学实验室研究的经验，为8-10周在宾夕法尼亚大学的夏季。该计划的长期目标是增加致力于心血管，肺和血液学研究事业的代表性不足的学生人数。培训由51名培训师组成的核心小组提供，他们拥有丰富的经验，担任各级学员的导师，其研究兴趣涉及心脏，肺和血液的各个方面，以及由50多名进行NHLBI赞助研究的其他潜在导师组成的第二组。每个受训者将大约90%的时间用于动手实验室研究，实验设计，数据解释，指导阅读，实验室会议和期刊俱乐部。学员参加宾夕法尼亚大学教师提出的科学研讨会系列，接受学术相关领域的补充培训，包括科学演讲技巧和负责任的研究行为，并提供各种可选的同行网络和职业发展活动和研讨会。学员在课程结束时至少在一个正式的环境中展示他们的工作，并鼓励他们继续与实验室的联系;本科生可以返回第二个夏季研究经验。这项建议旨在整合以前通过两种不同的国家HLBI赠款单独提供的培训：粤ICP备15048865号-1（前身为T35-HL 007719）最初成立于1991年，面向宾夕法尼亚大学医学院的研究型医学生，和T35-HL 007789成立于1993年的本科生从地理和文化多样的学院和大学谁来宾夕法尼亚大学的夏天阵列。预计这些计划的整合将建立在现有优势的基础上，并丰富学员的体验。 公共卫生相关性：NHLBI短期研究教育计划，以增加健康相关研究的多样性在宾夕法尼亚大学医学院提供本科生和研究型医学生从不同的，代表性不足的背景与短期，密集的夏季研究经验，以增加代表性不足的学生致力于心血管，肺和血液学研究事业的目标池。 (End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the program is to provide undergraduate students and research- oriented medical students from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds with a short- term, intensive biomedical laboratory research experience for 8-10 weeks during the summer at the University of Pennsylvania. The long-term aim of the program is to increase the pool of underrepresented students committed to careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic research. Training is provided by a core group of 51 trainers who have extensive experience as mentors to trainees at all levels and whose research interests relate to aspects of the heart, lung, and blood, as well as by a secondary group of more than 50 additional prospective mentors who conduct NHLBI sponsored research. Each trainee devotes approximately 90% of his or her time to hands-on laboratory research, experimental design, data interpretation, directed readings, lab meetings, and journal clubs. Trainees participate in a scientific seminar series presented by University of Pennsylvania faculty, receive supplemental training in academically relevant areas, including scientific presentation skills and the responsible conduct of research, and are provided with a variety of optional peer-networking and career-development activities and workshops. Trainees present their work in at least one formal setting at the end of the program and are encouraged to continue their association with the laboratory; undergraduates may return for a second summer research experience. This proposal seeks to integrate training that was formerly provided separately, via two different NHLBI grants: R25-HL084665 (formerly T35- HL007719) was originally established in 1991 for research-oriented medical students in the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and T35-HL007789 was established in 1993 for undergraduates from a geographically and culturally diverse array of colleges and universities who come to the University of Pennsylvania for the summer. It is expected that the integration of these programs will build on existing strengths and result in an enriched trainee experience. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The NHLBI Short-Term Research Education Program to Increase Diversity in Health- Related Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine provides undergraduate students and research-oriented medical students from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds with a short-term, intensive summer research experience with the goal of increasing the pool of underrepresented students committed to careers in cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematologic research.
