项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to continue an existing and highly successful Summer Research Internship Program (SRIP) at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. The goals of this program will be to expose a diverse group of undergraduate students and medical students to state of the art cardiovascular research, to instill in them confidence and a desire to consider research as a career option, and to familiarize them with the opportunities that exist for a career in biomedical research. The program runs for ten weeks each summer and is multi-faceted. The first and most important facet involves student exposure to and participation in a contemporary research project under the guidance of a faculty member. A second facet has the students participating in a series of weekly workshops in which students are exposed to a variety of advanced research techniques that they are unlikely to see in individual laboratories, including the use of confocal and electron microscopy, bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics, genetic mapping techniques, hybridoma/monoclonal antibody preparation, etc. The third facet includes a series of lectures and discussions wherein the students are exposed to a wide array of research topics and internationally recognized scientists. These scientists include women and underrepresented minority scientists who can serve as role models for these students. Finally, a fourth facet of our program is a weekly research lunch co- hosted by the Dr. Owens and the co-principal investigator, Dr. Hockensmith, during which the students give oral statements of their working hypotheses, summaries of the past week's research progress, discuss career options and opportunities, and consider approaches for choosing and applying to a graduate program. More than sixty faculty members, with research interests in cardiovascular-related areas, will serve as mentors. All components of this program are currently in place. The program has an exceptional pool of highly qualified candidates (>250 total/120 URM) for 2006, and the matriculants had an average GPA of 3.6 during the current funding cycle. In summary, we feel that our program provides an outstanding environment to stimulate and foster interest in research careers in biomedical research. Reviews of the program by past participants have been outstanding and have contributed significantly to the continued interest in our program.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续在弗吉尼亚大学医学院的现有且非常成功的夏季研究实习计划（SRIP）。该计划的目标是将一群多样化的本科生和医学生揭露到最先进的心血管研究，向他们灌输信心，并渴望将研究视为职业选择，并熟悉他们在生物医学研究中的职业机会。该节目每年夏天运行十个星期，并且是多方面的。第一个也是最重要的方面涉及在教职员工的指导下学生接触并参与当代研究项目。第二个方面让学生参加一系列每周的研讨会，在这些研讨会中，学生会接触到各种高级研究技术，在各个实验室中都不太可能看到这些技术，包括使用共焦和电子显微镜，生物信息学，生物信息学，基因组学和蛋白质组学，遗传学映射技术，包括杂化技术，包括第三名，第三名。学生接触到各种各样的研究主题和国际认可的科学家。这些科学家包括女性和代表性不足的少数族裔科学家，这些科学家可以作为这些学生的榜样。最后，我们计划的第四个方面是由欧文斯博士和联合竞选研究员Hockensmith博士共同举办的每周研究午餐，在此期间，学生对他们的工作假设进行口头陈述，上一周的研究进度的摘要，讨论职业选择和职业选择和机会，并考虑选择和应用于毕业生的课程。有60多名教职员工将担任与心血管相关地区的研究兴趣，将担任导师。该程序的所有组件目前都已到位。该计划在2006年有一个高度合格的候选人（> 250/120 URM）库，在当前的融资周期中，母亲的平均GPA为3.6。总而言之，我们认为我们的计划为刺激和促进生物医学研究研究生涯的兴趣提供了一个杰出的环境。过去参与者对该计划的评论非常出色，并为我们计划的持续兴趣做出了重大贡献。
