项目摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The ninth consecutive Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program was conducted from May 24th through July 30th. Applications for fellowships at URI and Brown were administered centrally at the University of Rhode Island (URI). Applications for the SURF Program at each of the PUIs were handled by the SURF Program Coordinators at each of the institutions. These Coordinators were members of the Steering Committee. Accepted students were assigned individual research projects mentored by faculty members at the network institutions. Each PUI investigator typically trained three SURF students. A total of 83 students participated in the 2010 SURF Program (15 at the University of Rhode Island, 15 at Providence College, 26 at Rhode Island College, 11 at Roger Williams University, and 16 at Salve Regina University). Of these, 9 students were underrepresented minorities and 50 were female. In addition, two high school teachers participated in an intensive 4-week research training program alongside the SURF students. One teacher worked in Dr. Sheila Quinn's laboratory at Salve Regina University and the other worked in Dr. Navindra Seeram's laboratory at the University of Rhode Island. In all, the SURF Program resulted in 9 journal articles and 79 presentations acknowledging RI-INBRE grant support. Participation in the Program was increased by 17 students over the previous year, greatly improving the visibility and impact of the Program. Student recruitment was carried out by advertising the SURF Program through the RI-INBRE and RI SURF web sites, presentations at summer internship fairs, internet posting services, and brochures displayed at various Rhode Island institutions of higher education. The Program promoted a sense of belonging to the RI-INBRE community and unity among the undergraduate researchers at all of the Network institutions. Furthermore, students were encouraged to list the RI-INBRE Fellowship on their resume to enhance their chances of acceptance into graduate programs. In order to bring together undergraduate researchers in the biomedical and life sciences, a calendar of events was developed collaboratively with the Rhode Island Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (RI EPSCoR). These events included seminars and workshops on laboratory safety, research ethics, poster preparation, graduate education, bioinformatics, communicating science to the general public, and demonstrations on instrumentation in the RI-INBRE Centralized Research Core Facility. Selected workshops and seminars were broadcasted via videoconferencing to all of the network institutions. The students also toured Pfizer's research facilities in Groton, Connecticut and Newport Biodiesel, a biofuels manufacturing plant in Newport, RI. The joint RI-INBRE and RI EPSCoR Program has not only provided a structured training environment for undergraduates interested in biomedical and life sciences research, but also a platform for these students from around the state to present their research findings. The 2010 SURF Program concluded with a half-day conference where students from the RI-INBRE Program presented 64 scientific posters and students from the RI EPSCoR Program presented an additional 31 scientific posters. Almost 300 individuals attended the event, including the Rhode Island's Lieutenant Governor, Elizabeth Roberts who also gave the welcome address. Amgen's Dr. Vinny Browning spoke to the students about future career paths. URI's Provost, Dr. Donald DeHayes, emphasized the importance of undergraduate research in higher education. Other attendees included administrators and faculty from the participating institutions, government officials, industry representatives, and parents.

该副本是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供。对该子弹的主要支持而且，副投影的主要研究员可能是其他来源提供的包括其他NIH来源。列出的总费用可能代表subproject使用的中心基础架构的估计量， NCRR赠款不直接向子弹或副本人员提供的直接资金。从5月24日至7月30日进行了连续第九个夏季本科研究奖学金（SURF）计划。在URI和Brown的奖学金申请是在罗德岛大学（URI）中心管理的。每个PUI的冲浪计划的申请均由每个机构的冲浪计划协调员处理。这些协调员是指导委员会的成员。被接受的学生被分配了网络机构的教职员工指导的个人研究项目。每个PUI调查员通常培训三名冲浪学生。共有83名学生参加了2010年的冲浪计划（罗德岛大学15名，普罗维登斯学院15名，罗德岛学院26岁，罗杰·威廉姆斯大学（Roger Williams University）11岁，在萨尔夫·里贾纳大学（Salve Regina University）16岁）。其中，有9名学生人数不足，而50名是女性。此外，两名高中教师与冲浪学生一起参加了一个密集的4周研究培训计划。一位老师曾在萨尔维·里贾纳大学（Salve Regina University）的希拉·奎因（Sheila Quinn）博士的实验室工作，另一位在罗德岛大学（University of Rhode Island）的Navindra Seeram博士实验室工作。总共，冲浪计划产生了9篇期刊文章和79项演讲，承认RI-INBRE赠款支持。上一年比17名学生增加了该计划的参与，从而大大提高了该计划的可见性和影响。通过RI-Inbre和RI冲浪网站，暑期实习博览会的演讲，互联网发布服务以及在罗德岛各种高等教育机构展示的小册子上，通过RI-INBRE和RI Surf网站广告进行冲浪计划来进行学生招聘。该计划促进了所有网络机构的本科研究人员之间属于RI-INBRE社区的感觉。此外，鼓励学生在简历上列出RI-INBRE奖学金，以增加接受研究生课程的机会。为了汇集生物医学和生命科学的本科研究人员，与罗德岛实验计划合作开发了一系列事件，以刺激竞争性研究（RI EPSCOR）。这些事件包括有关实验室安全，研究伦理，海报准备，研究生教育，生物信息学，向公众传达科学的研讨会，以及RI-INBRE集中研究核心设施中的仪器示范。选定的研讨会和研讨会通过视频会议播放到所有网络机构。学生们还参观了位于康涅狄格州格罗顿的辉瑞研究设施和RI的生物燃料制造厂纽波特生物柴油。 RI-INBRE和RI EPSCOR计划不仅为对生物医学和生命科学研究感兴趣的本科生提供了结构化的培训环境，而且还为全州这些学生提供了一个平台，以呈现他们的研究结果。 2010年的冲浪计划结束了半天的会议，其中RI-INBRE计划的学生介绍了64张科学海报和RI EPSCOR计划的学生提供了另外31张科学海报。近300个人参加了该活动，包括罗德岛州长伊丽莎白·罗伯茨（Elizabeth Roberts），他们也提供了欢迎地址。 Amgen的Vinny Browning博士与学生谈到了未来的职业道路。 Uri的教务长Donald Dehayes博士强调了高等教育本科研究的重要性。其他与会者包括参与机构，政府官员，行业代表和父母的管理人员和教职员工。
