DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks continued support for short-term research training of underrepresented minority students in cardiovascular science, pulmonology, and related areas. The program primarily targets two groups of medical students: those in the summer between year 1 and 2, and those more advanced students who want to go beyond the minimum research requirement (3 months) in year 3 or 4 to gain more in-depth and meaningful research training. It will also support up to two undergraduate students each year. Since inception of this grant in 1991, 59 underrepresented minority students have received support. Fifty-two of these were medical students, 6 were undergraduates and one was a high school student; 7 trainees were appointed twice. In the next cycle of funding, we will continue to select trainees on the basis of their academic record, clarity of career goals, research training plan, suitability of project as a training vehicle, and suitability of the mentor. Penn has 118 NHBLI funded investigators, giving us a cohort of experienced and interactive faculty members to serve as mentors. They are working in areas that include hemostasis and thrombosis, vascular disease and related topics in hematopoiesis, pulmonology, and in the hemoglobinopathies, particularly sickle cell disease. It is expected that 80% of the training experience will involve direct participation in research with the remainder devoted to directed reading and seminars. RECENT CHANGES. Dr. DeLisser has been recruited as the new PI for the grant, Dr. Poncz will remain involved as a member of the Advisory Committee. The program will be administered by the Director and the Advisory Committee. The new PI and one member of the Advisory Committee are African-American with NIH-derived research support and a special interest in training underrepresented minority students. We believe that we offer an unusually strong research training opportunity to an outstanding pool of underrepresented minorities, and that we have the commitment to encourage these students to select an academic career in these related fields.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该申请寻求继续支持对心血管科学，肺病学及相关领域中代表性不足的少数族裔学生的短期研究培训。该计划主要针对两组医学生：在第1年至2年级的夏季，以及希望超出第3或4年级的最低研究要求（3个月）的那些更高级的学生，以获得更多的深入和有意义的研究培训。每年还将支持多达两名本科生。自1991年获得这笔赠款以来，有59名代表性不足的少数民族学生得到了支持。其中52名是医学生，六名是本科生，一名是一名高​​中生。任命7名学员两次。在下一个资金周期中，我们将继续根据学业记录，职业目标的清晰度，研究培训计划，项目的适用性作为培训工具以及导师的适用性来选择受训者。宾夕法尼亚州拥有118名NHBLI资助的研究人员，为我们提供了一群经验丰富的互动教师，以担任导师。他们正在包括止血和血栓形成，血管疾病以及造血，肺病学和血红蛋白病（尤其是镰状细胞病）的区域工作。预计80％的培训经验将涉及直接参与研究，其余专门致力于定向阅读和研讨会。最近的变化。 Delisser博士已被招募为赠款的新PI，Poncz博士将继续担任咨询委员会成员。该计划将由董事和咨询委员会管理。新的PI和咨询委员会的一位成员是非裔美国人，具有NIH衍生的研究支持，并且特别兴趣培训代表性不足的少数族裔学生。我们认为，我们为杰出的人数不足的少数民族提供了异常强大的研究培训机会，并且我们有承诺鼓励这些学生在这些相关领域中选择学术生涯。 （抽象的结尾）
