DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A group of investigators from the University at Buffalo (UB) and Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) seeks to establish a Summer Research Institute in Biomedical Materials Science and Engineering. The goal of this intensive, 10-week research institute will be to train talented undergraduate juniors and seniors in the principles and methodologies of interdisciplinary approaches to solving biomedical research problems. This group has already developed and implemented a comprehensive undergraduate training program in complex, interdisciplinary environmental science research (funded by the Hewlett Foundation). That model will be enhanced to develop a similar training program for research in interdisciplinary biomedical materials science and engineering utilizing seminars, cooperative learning groups, case studies and research rotations in interdisciplinary laboratory "clusters". Fifteen investigators from UB and RPCI with active, externally funded research programs are eager to serve as mentors and to provide the necessary laboratory resources. Academically talented junior and senior students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Chemical Engineering at regional colleges and universities, along with secondary school science teachers in the Buffalo Niagara region (those seeking or holding subject-based, science masters degrees) will be eligible to participate in the Institute. Women, members of minority groups underrepresented in biomedical research careers and individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds will be specifically targeted for recruitment and encouraged to participate in the Institute. All program participants (24/year) will have demonstrated previous, substantive participation in a research project or program; all will present results from their individual research projects at one of two mini-symposia to be organized Iduring the academic year. The science teachers will also be required to develop educational experimental materials suitable for high school science courses as their task in the research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 布法罗大学（UB）和罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所（RPCI）的一组研究人员试图在生物医学材料科学与工程学领域建立一家夏季研究所。这个密集的10周研究所的目标是培训有才华的本科生和老年人，以解决生物医学研究问题的跨学科方法的原理和方法。该小组已经在复杂的，跨学科的环境科学研究（由惠普基金会资助）中开发并实施了一项全面的本科培训计划。该模型将得到增强，以制定类似的培训计划，用于利用研讨会，合作学习小组，案例研究和研究跨学科实验室“群集”的研究跨学科材料科学和工程的研究。来自UB和RPCI的15名调查人员拥有积极的外部资助研究计划，渴望担任导师并提供必要的实验室资源。在地区学院和大学的生物学，化学，生物化学，生物物理学和化学工程专业的学术才华的初中和高年级学生以及布法罗·尼亚加拉地区的中学科学教师（那些寻求或持有学科的人，科学硕士学位）将有资格参加该研究所。妇女，少数群体的成员在生物医学研究职业中的人数不足，经济上处于弱势背景的个人将被专门针对招聘，并鼓励参与该研究所。所有计划参与者（24/年）将证明以前的实质性参与研究项目或计划；所有这些都将在两个小型群岛之一的一个小型研究项目之一中呈现出各个研究项目的结果。科学教师还将被要求开发适合高中科学课程的教育实验材料，作为研究的任务。
