项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is to renew an institutional National Research Award that provides short-term research training for medical students. The Vanderbilt Medical Student Research Training Program (SRTP) in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism provides an intensive, high-quality research experience to medical students early in their academic careers. By doing so, this program seeks to improve the medical student's understanding of the importance of research and to expose students to career opportunities in biomedical research. Since its inception in 1975, this program has provided research training for over 600 students from 65 medical schools. The thematic focus of the program is diabetes and endocrinology and takes advantage of the long-standing, broad-based excellence of basic and clinical research in this area at Vanderbilt. The faculty of the SRTP is carefully selected based on both their research interest and their desire to provide a research opportunity for medical students and is composed of 78 investigators (Including Drs. Powers, Wasserman and Pichert) from the Departments of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Medicine, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Pediatrics, Surgery, Pathology, Psychology, Psychiatry, and Cell Biology. The research opportunities for the medical student are quite diverse and range from gene regulation to signal transduction to in vivo human studies to behavioral psychology. Through a variety of electronic and personal networks and through printed announcements, virtually all US medical students are informed mid-way through their first year about the SRTP. Meritorious candidates from Vanderbilt and other medical schools are selected and participate in a 12 week research experience at Vanderbilt. Approximately one-half of the participants are from a variety of US medical schools and one-half are Vanderbilt students. A monthly stipend is provided to participants. The SRTP receives support from the current T-35 training program, the NIH-funded Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center (VDRTC), and the Office of the Dean of the School of Medicine at Vanderbilt. The funds from the T-35 support 25 medical students with the other funds being used to support additional students (up to 5/year) and other activities of the SRTP such as a visiting professor and travel allowance for non-Vanderbilt students. The program utilizes the traditional research preceptor/role model approach. Each student is matched with an established investigator with whom he/she designs and executes a research project. In addition, student participants are united on a regular basis for a lecture series on clinical diabetes and current challenges for diabetes research, to interact with senior scientists, and for social events. At the conclusion of the summer research experience, each participant presents a summary of his/her research in a traditional scientific meeting format. Mechanisms to assess the impact of the program, student satisfaction, faculty satisfaction, and career choices of the student participants are in place and indicate that the program is having a positive impact on student attitudes toward biomedical research, is providing a positive research experience for medical students, and is encouraging students to choose careers involving biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案旨在延长一项为医学生提供短期研究培训的机构国家研究奖。范德比尔特大学医学生糖尿病、内分泌学和代谢研究培训计划 (SRTP) 为医学生在学术生涯的早期提供密集、高质量的研究经验。通过这样做，该计划旨在提高医学生对研究重要性的理解，并使学生接触到生物医学研究的职业机会。自 1975 年启动以来，该项目已为来自 65 所医学院的 600 多名学生提供了研究培训。该项目的主题重点是糖尿病和内分泌学，并利用范德比尔特大学在该领域长期、基础广泛的卓越基础和临床研究。 SRTP 的教师是根据他们的研究兴趣和为医学生提供研究机会的愿望精心挑选的，由来自分子生理学和生物物理学系的 78 名研究人员（包括 Powers、Wasserman 和 Pichert 博士）组成，医学、生物化学、药理学、儿科、外科、病理学、心理学、精神病学和细胞生物学。医学生的研究机会非常多样化，从基因调控到信号转导，到体内人体研究，再到行为心理学。通过各种电子和个人网络以及印刷公告，几乎所有美国医学生都在第一年中了解到 SRTP。来自范德比尔特和其他医学院的优秀候选人被选拔并参加范德比尔特为期 12 周的研究经历。大约一半的参与者来自美国各医学院，一半是范德比尔特大学的学生。每月向参与者提供津贴。 SRTP 得到当前 T-35 培训计划、NIH 资助的范德比尔特糖尿病研究和培训中心 (VDRTC) 以及范德比尔特医学院院长办公室的支持。 T-35 的资金支持 25 名医学生，其他资金用于支持额外的学生（每年最多 5 名）和 SRTP 的其他活动，例如客座教授和非范德比尔特学生的旅行津贴。该计划采用传统的研究导师/角色模型方法。每个学生都会与一位已建立的研究人员相匹配，与他/她一起设计和执行一个研究项目。此外，学生参与者定期聚集在一起参加有关临床糖尿病和当前糖尿病研究挑战的系列讲座，与资深科学家互动以及参加社交活动。在夏季研究经历结束时，每位参与者以传统的科学会议形式总结他/她的研究。评估该计划的影响、学生满意度、教师满意度和学生参与者的职业选择的机制已经到位，并表明该计划正在对学生对生物医学研究的态度产生积极影响，正在为医学研究提供积极的研究经验。学生，并鼓励学生选择涉及生物医学研究的职业。
