项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract The R25 Summer Research Program in PharmacoNeuroImmunology (PNI) provides 6 underrepresented undergraduate students of diversity each year an intensive laboratory-based research experience to increase their participation in biomedical graduate research programs. The R25 PNI program is a successful summer program which has trained 16 undergraduate students of diversity to date (additional 6 coming in the summer of 2020). The summer research program stems from our well-established NIDA-funded T32 PNI training program, which will provide engaged expert faculty mentors and a community of pre- and post-doctoral trainees to actively train and mentor the summer students supporting the mission of the PNI summer program. There is a well- recognized need to train biomedical scientists in an interdisciplinary and translational field that focuses on the interactions of drugs of abuse with the nervous and immune systems, and integrates our understanding of these physiological interactions with their behavioral counterparts. We will accomplish this by offering an intensive 10- week research experience that will provide qualified undergraduate students of diversity the necessary academic and research skills to ensure their competitiveness toward entering the next phases of their career - i.e., doctoral programs or medical school. The PNI summer program is part of the comprehensive Life Science Undergraduate Research Program (LSSURP) at the University of Minnesota. The PNI summer program is composed of an intensive laboratory-based research experience that entails close interaction with and mentorship by a program faculty member (n=31) that focuses on drug abuse research. This laboratory work is supplemented by a comprehensive educational curriculum, which includes seminars by program faculty on topics in biomedical research, ethics, and laboratory safety, and a focused student research poster symposium. An innovative component of our PNI program proposal is to deliver education modules with small group discussion. In addition, Dr. Jesse L. Mason, an alumnus of LSSURP and the T32 PNI training program, will provide a series of sessions for PNI summer students targeted toward dealing with adversity as a diverse student. To support the goal of the R25 Summer program, we propose two specific aims: 1) To provide an interdisciplinary structured research experience in the area of PNI, especially as it pertains to drug abuse; and 2) To provide skill sets for graduate careers in biomedical sciences. Those successful individuals will, in turn, act as role models for future students interested in research careers. Three measures of evaluation will be collected on a yearly basis: 1) Assessment of the 10 week summer research experience by participating undergraduate students and faculty in the program. This assessment will come in two ways from the LSSURP survey and a PNI specific survey; 2) The PNI program itself will be supported by the Advisory Committee to verify that we are meeting the goals of the program in diversity recruitment and effective research experience; and 3) Outcome assessment of the students that were in the program. We will track the careers in biomedical sciences of the past summer PNI trainees.

项目概要/摘要 R25 药物神经免疫学 (PNI) 夏季研究计划提供了 6 个代表性不足的项目多样化的本科生每年都会通过密集的实验室研究经验来增加他们参与生物医学研究生研究项目。 R25 PNI 计划是一个成功的夏季迄今为止，该计划已培养了 16 名多元化的本科生（另外 6 名将于 2017 年夏季入学） 2020）。夏季研究项目源于我们完善的 NIDA 资助的 T32 PNI 培训项目，这将提供敬业的专家教师导师和博士前和博士后实习生社区，以积极地培训和指导暑期学生，支持 PNI 暑期项目的使命。有一个井—— 认识到需要在跨学科和转化领域培训生物医学科学家，重点关注滥用药物与神经和免疫系统的相互作用，并整合我们对这些的理解与其行为对应者的生理相互作用。我们将通过提供密集的 10- 一周的研究经验将为合格的多元化本科生提供必要的学术知识和研究技能，以确保他们进入职业生涯下一阶段（即博士）的竞争力计划或医学院。 PNI 暑期课程是综合性生命科学本科课程的一部分明尼苏达大学研究计划 (LSSURP)。 PNI 暑期项目由基于实验室的密集研究经验，需要与项目密切互动并接受项目指导专注于药物滥用研究的教职人员（n=31）。这项实验室工作得到了补充综合教育课程，包括项目教师举办的生物医学主题研讨会研究、伦理和实验室安全，以及重点学生研究海报研讨会。一个创新的我们 PNI 计划提案的一部分是提供带有小组讨论的教育模块。此外， LSSURP 和 T32 PNI 培训项目的校友 Jesse L. Mason 博士将提供一系列课程针对 PNI 暑期学生，旨在以多元化学生的身份应对逆境。为了支持该组织的目标 R25暑期项目，我们提出两个具体目标：1）提供跨学科的结构化研究在 PNI 领域的经验，特别是与药物滥用有关的经验； 2）为毕业生提供技能组合生物医学科学的职业。这些成功人士反过来将成为未来学生的榜样对研究职业感兴趣。每年将收集三项评估措施： 1) 评估参与该项目的本科生和教师为期 10 周的夏季研究经历。该评估将通过 LSSURP 调查和 PNI 特定调查两种方式进行； 2）PNI计划本身将得到咨询委员会的支持，以核实我们正在实现该计划的目标多元化招聘和有效的研究经验； 3) 学生的成绩评估在节目中。我们将追踪过去夏季 PNI 学员在生物医学科学领域的职业生涯。
