DESCRIPTION (taken from application): As biomedical research enters the post-genomics age, much of our understanding of complex, system level interactions which control biological processes will arise from rigorous interdisciplinary interactions between the physical and biological sciences. It is our goal to cultivate this interaction by introducing undergraduate students whom otherwise would study and work solely in the physical sciences to the exciting frontiers of biomedical research. This proposal is to establish an innovative undergraduate summer research program, known as the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Program (IBRP), which will place up to ten students per year who are concentrating in the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering into laboratories which focus on biomedical research. The students will work directly under the supervision of NIH-supported investigators, both at Stony Brook and at Brookhaven National Labs, in disciplines that range from structural biology, genomics and signal transduction to brain imaging, tissue plasticity and drug delivery. It is fully intended that the teacher-student relationship will flow in both directions, as the NIH investigators will inevitably be exposed to new perspectives of their own research as catalyzed by the contributions of the physical sciences students. In addition, the students will participate in six additional components designed to supplement and enhance their research activities, including a biweekly workshop on research-related subjects such as ethics, a biweekly journal club, a seminar series, and research presentations at a concluding campus-wide celebration of undergraduate research. Ultimately, it is hoped that many of these IBRP students will decide to continue their training, at the graduate level, in areas such as functional genomics, bioinformatics, bioengineering, or biomedicine. Indeed, it is hoped that the most successful of these students will enter our own graduate training programs in the biomedical sciences.

描述（从应用中获取）：随着生物医学研究进入 后基因组年龄，我们对复杂，系统级别的理解很大 控制生物过程的相互作用将由严格引起 物理和生物科学之间的跨学科相互作用。它 我们的目标是通过介绍本科生来培养这种互动 否则他们将仅在物理科学中学习和工作 生物医学研究的令人兴奋的边界。该建议是建立 创新的本科夏季研究计划，称为 跨学科生物医学研究计划（IBRP），该计划将达到 每年专注于身体科学的学生， 数学以及专注于生物医学的实验室的工程 研究。学生将直接在 NIH支持的调查员，无论 实验室，在结构生物学，基因组学和信号的学科中 转导向大脑成像，组织可塑性和药物递送。完全 打算认为教师的关系将以两个方向流动 NIH的调查人员将不可避免地接触到他们的新观点 自己的研究被物理科学的贡献所催化 学生。此外，学生还将参加六个 旨在补充和增强其研究活动的组件， 包括关于与研究相关的主题（例如道德）的每两周研讨会， 双周期刊俱乐部，研讨会系列和研究演讲 结束校园范围的本科研究庆祝活动。最终，是 希望许多IBRP学生都会决定继续他们的培训， 在研究生层面，在功能基因组学，生物信息学等领域 生物工程或生物医学。确实，希望最成功的 这些学生将在生物医学中输入我们自己的研究生培训计划 科学。
