DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing renewal for the Short Term Training Program for Minorities will continue to serve to focus the considerable strengths and diversity of multi-departmental and institutional research dealing with vascular biology at Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College into a coherent framework for introducing research design and methods. Stipends for 10 undergraduate students will be available. The undergraduate students will be recruited from across the country. Every effort will be made to have these students participate in the program for two consecutive summers. While the training program will focus primarily on research, the students will be offered the opportunity to attend a three week course on Introduction to Research, where they will obtain basic skills in research that can be applied to their own summer work and a ten week course on Concepts and Mechanisms in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry which will help prepare them for future graduate work; a workshop on opportunities (careers) in research; a workshop on Ethics in Research; and attendance and participation in a seminar series presented by the faculty preceptors. Two courses are optional but the workshop and seminar are not. At the end of the training program, the students will present their work to the other students and the faculty as an oral presentation, very much in the style of those given at national meetings. This will be accompanied by a short written report of their summer research activities, in the style of a journal article. This training is intended to prepare the students for what is needed and expected to succeed in graduate school, to increase their interest in vascular biology research, and to introduce them to research -techniques, methodologies and career options. Training facilities include 8 adjacent buildings at Vanderbilt and the Department of Microbiology at Meharry Medical College. Multidisciplinary research training of future research scientists in this area is expected to be critical to discovering the new information that will lead to improved diagnosis, prevention and therapy for cardiovascular disease.

描述（由申请人提供）： 针对少数民族的短期培训计划的这种竞争续约将继续致力于将范德比尔特大学和Meharry医学院处理血管生物学的多部门和机构研究的相当大的优势和多样性集中为一个连贯的框架，以引入研究设计和方法。 将提供10位本科生的津贴。本科生将从全国各地招募。 将尽一切努力使这些学生连续两个夏天参加该计划。 虽然培训计划将主要关注研究，但将为学生提供参加研究介绍为期三周的课程，在那里他们将获得研究的基本技能，这些技能可以应用于自己的夏季工作，并为分子生物学，遗传学和生物化学方面的概念和机制进行十周的概念和机制，这将帮助他们为未来的研究生工作做好准备；研究机会（职业）的研讨会；研究道德的讲习班；以及由教师主持人提出的参加研讨会系列的出席和参加。 两个课程是可选的，但研讨会和研讨会不是。 在培训计划结束时，学生将以口头陈述向其他学生和教职员工介绍他们的作品，这非常适合在全国会议上提供的方式。 这将伴随着他们的夏季研究活动的简短书面报告，该报告的风格。 该培训旨在为学生做好准备，并希望在研究生院取得成功，增加对血管生物学研究的兴趣，并将其介绍给研究 - 技术，方法论和职业选择。 培训设施包括范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）的8座相邻建筑物以及梅哈里医学院（Meharry Medical College）的微生物学系。 预计该领域未来研究科学家的多学科研究培训对于发现将改善诊断，预防和心血管疾病治疗的新信息至关重要。
