PROJECT SUMMARY The Dental Research Experience (D-REX) of the University of Maryland School of Dentistry (UMSOD) is a full- time, intensive, hands-on summer research program addressing the unmet need of building a strong and diverse workforce in dental health care, dental and craniofacial health research and education. This workforce is critical for improving oral health and reducing oral health disparity. Collaborating with Baltimore area high schools, historically black colleges and universities in Maryland, University of Maryland Institutions, campus-wide URM scholastic programs and student organization, including Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) scholars program and Summer BioScience Internship Program (SHIP), and the Student National Dental Association, D-REX will recruit high school and undergraduate students and science teachers strongly interested in biomedical science to experience the 9-week one-on-one mentored research in the laboratories of UMSOD. Twenty-six faculty members in UMSOD will serve as mentors to lead the participants through hypothesis-driven research project intimately related to various areas of oral, dental, and craniofacial health, such as biomaterial and tissue engineering, pain, microbial pathogenesis, cancer, and epidemiology. Additional group activities will deliver enrichment contents, such as science lectures, career seminars, survival skills workshops, to empower the participants to succeed in dental and medical health care and research career. The goals of D-REX are to foster career interest in the field of unmet need and to promote awareness of dental, oral, and craniofacial research among high school science teachers to impact high school science education broadly. D-REX program will be integrated with the ongoing UMSOD Summer Research Training Program for dental students so that D- REX trainees can experience research along with dental students to further motivate them in pursuing oral health-related careers. D-REX program will be led by two program directors. One of them is currently operating the training program at UMSOD (Dr. Ren). The other created and directed a summer high school research science program lasting 20 years, and two international biomedical science programs for teenagers that now have more than 100 countries as members (Dr. Myslinski). As one of the top 10 dental schools in NIH funding for the past 12 consecutive years (most recently, $15.2M total funding, including $4.8M from NIDCR) and a #4 ranking by Blue Ridge research in 2020, the UMSOD is a diverse, inclusive and intellectually stimulating place to nurture and motivate students in pursuing career in oral health care and dental, oral, and craniofacial research, and to disseminate oral health science through the participation of high school teachers. The goals of D-REX are consistent with the mission of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.

项目摘要 马里兰大学牙科学院（UMSOD）的牙科研究经验（D-Rex）是一个完整的 时间，密集，动手的夏季研究计划，涉及建立强大而多样化的未满足需求 牙科保健，牙科和颅面健康研究与教育方面的劳动力。这个劳动力很关键 用于改善口腔健康并减少口腔健康差异。与巴尔的摩地区高中合作， 历史上，马里兰州的黑人学院和大学，马里兰州大学机构，校园范围内的URM 学术课程和学生组织，包括继续研究研究经验（CURE） 学者计划和夏季生物科学实习计划（船）以及学生国家牙科 协会，D-Rex将招募高中，本科生和科学老师非常感兴趣 在生物医学科学上，在UMSOD实验室中体验了为期9周的一对一的指导研究。 UMSOD的26名教职员工将作为指导者通过假设驱动的领导参与者 研究项目与口腔，牙科和颅面健康的各个领域密切相关，例如生物材料 以及组织工程，疼痛，微生物发病机理，癌症和流行病学。其他小组活动将 提供丰富的内容，例如科学讲座，职业研讨会，生存技能研讨会，以授权 参加牙科和医疗保健和研究职业的参与者。 D-Rex的目标是 在未满足的需求领域培养职业兴趣，并提高对牙齿，口服和颅面的认识 高中科学教师之间的研究广泛影响高中科学教育。 D-Rex程序 将与正在进行的UMSOD夏季研究培训计划集成 雷克斯学员可以与牙科学生一起体验研究，以进一步激励他们追求口头 与健康有关的职业。 D-Rex计划将由两个计划主管领导。其中之一目前正在运行 UMSOD的培训计划（Ren博士）。另一个创建并导演了夏季高中研究 持续20年的科学计划，以及两个针对青少年的国际生物医学科学计划 有100多个国家作为成员（Myslinski博士）。作为NIH资金中十大牙科学校之一 在过去的12年中（最近，总共1520万美元，包括NIDCR的480万美元）和＃4 UMSOD在2020年由Blue Ridge Research排名，是一个多样的，包容和智力的地方 培养和激励学生从事口腔医疗保健以及牙科，口腔和颅面研究的职业， 并通过高中教师的参与来传播口腔健康科学。 D-Rex的目标 与国家牙科和颅面研究所的使命一致。
