DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to effectively address the need for physician scientists who are trained to conduct biomedical research, we propose an innovative, short-term research training program for pre-matriculating and matriculated medical students at LSUHSC-New Orleans. This Summer Internship Program (SIP) will support twelve students to work with researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC) and is designed to cultivate their interest in research careers. We have identified over40 faculty mentors who are working in the areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolic disorders. Students will conduct intensive hands-on clinical or basic science research for 10 weeks in the summer, working with PBRC faculty. Those students who participate for a second summer (pre-matriculated students) will act as peer mentors to incoming students, thus providing an important mentoring component to the program. The goals of this program include: 1) to provide medical students with research experiences; 2) to provide students with strong career and research mentoring; 3) to increase the participation in research by women and minority students; 4) to provide summer interns with the career skills they will need to succeed in academic medicine. In addition to their research experience, students will attend a didactic training series on: lab safety, responsible conduct of research, HIPPA, writing abstracts and presenting research results (oral and poster presentations). At the end of the summer, students will give an oral presentation at the Summer Research Symposium; they will also be supported to present their data at national or regional meetings as well. We will work to recruit at least 20% underrepresented minority participants, reflecting the demographics of the LSU medical school class. In order to determine the impact the program has on individual participants, summer interns will complete Goals Attainment Scales (GAS) as well as Research Self Efficacy (RSE) surveys. GAS has been shown to be a valuable and flexible technique for the evaluation of summer research training programs. RSE is a major predictor of career choice and performance. We will also conduct formative and summative evaluations concerning the entire program, in order to determine what programmatic changes may be needed and to tailor the program to better meet the needs of the students. Lastly, working with the Office of Student Affairs, we will implement a career tracking system which will measure the long-term impact of their summer experience on career choices and research participation, thus quantifying the long-term impact of this program. This program will help to create the next generation of physician researchers who are prepared to address the underlying causes of and treatment for some of the most common, chronic, and costly diseases affecting people in this country. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: We propose an innovative, short-term research training program for medical students in Pennington Biomedical Research Center clinical trials and research labs. The LSU-NIDDK Medical Student Research Program is designed to cultivate students' interest in research careers by having them work on research projects on obesity, diabetes and metabolic diseases. This program will help to create the next generation of physician researchers who are prepared to conduct the translational research that quickly transforms basic science discoveries into new clinical therapies.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了有效地满足接受生物医学研究培训的医师科学家的需求，我们提出了一项创新的，短期的研究培训计划，用于在LSUHSC-NEW ORLEANS的培训和入学医学生。今年暑期实习计划（SIP）将支持十二名学生与Pennington生物医学研究中心（PBRC）的研究人员合作，旨在培养他们对研究职业的兴趣。我们已经确定了在糖尿病，肥胖和代谢障碍领域工作的40多名教师导师。夏季，学生将在夏季与PBRC教师合作10周进行密集的动手临床或基础科学研究。那些参加第二个夏天的学生（预先注册的学生）将充当传入学生的同伴导师，从而为该计划提供重要的指导组成部分。该计划的目标包括：1）为医学生提供研究经验； 2）为学生提供强大的职业和研究指导； 3）增加妇女和少数民族学生参与研究； 4）为暑期实习生提供学术医学成功所需的职业技能。除研究经验外，学生还将参加有关：实验室安全，负责任的研究，河马，撰写摘要和提出研究结果（口头和海报演示）的教学培训系列。夏季结束时，学生将在夏季研究研讨会上进行口头介绍。他们还将支持他们在国家或地区会议上介绍他们的数据。我们将努力招募至少20％的代表性不足的少数参与者，以反映LSU医学院班的人口统计。为了确定该计划对个人参与者的影响，暑期实习生将完成目标达到量表（GAS）以及研究自效性（RS​​E）调查。对于评估夏季研究培训计划的评估，天然气已被证明是一种有价值且灵活的技术。 RSE是职业选择和绩效的主要预测指标。我们还将进行有关整个计划的形成性和总结性评估，以确定可能需要进行哪些程序性更改并量身定制该计划以更好地满足学生的需求。最后，我们将与学生事务办公室合作，我们将实施一个职业跟踪系统，该系统将衡量其夏季经验对职业选择和研究参与的长期影响，从而量化该计划的长期影响。该计划将有助于创建下一代的医师研究人员，他们准备解决一些影响该国人们的最常见，慢性和昂贵的疾病的根本原因和治疗。 公共卫生相关性：我们为彭宁顿生物医学研究中心临床试验和研究实验室的医学生提供了创新的短期研究培训计划。 LSU-NIDDK医学学生研究计划旨在通过使学生从事有关肥胖，糖尿病和代谢疾病的研究项目的研究来培养学生对研究职业的兴趣。该计划将有助于创建下一代的医师研究人员，他们准备进行转化研究，以迅速将基础科学发现转化为新的临床疗法。
