DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal for the implementation of the Research Enrichment and Preparation Training Program (REAP -TP) is designed to promote the entry of outstanding medical students into biomedical research careers. This innovative research enrichment program represents a creative approach that provides an in-depth exposure to biomedical concepts, modern biomedical research areas, and an intensive, "hands-on," well-structured 12 week research experience. The REAP-TP will match talented medical students with fully funded NIH research faculty mentors, and the program couples the daily research experience with an ongoing series of courses, summer research seminars, peer round table research discussions, oral presentations, and mentoring from outstanding UTMB faculty. Additionally, medical students will have to opportunity to choose basic, clinical, translational or behavioral research projects. The specific objectives are: 1) To expose medical students early in their career development to the excitement and challenges of a research career and to encourage their investigative and analytical skills 2) To encourage medical students to pursue a career in basic or clinical research in the areas of diabetes, obesity, endocrine and nutritional disorders, metabolic diseases, digestive, liver and kidney diseases, urologic and hematological disorders. 3) To provide valuable experiences and references for students who hope to seek additional research training and funding in the future, 4) To increase the pool of physician scientists engaged in biomedical or behavioral research in those areas necessary to continue the mission of the NIDDK, and 5) To address the issues of health and health care disparities by increasing the pool of physician scientists performing research in those areas where minority populations are particularly vulnerable, such as diabetes, end-stage renal disease, and obesity. The REAP-TP will enrich the research background of medical students and will allow them to experience research first-hand in laboratories where outstanding faculty brings the excitement of scientific inquiry to life.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本建议实施研究丰富和准备培训计划（REAP -TP），旨在促进优秀医学生进入生物医学研究职业。这个创新的研究强化项目代表了一种创造性的方法，可以让学生深入了解生物医学概念、现代生物医学研究领域，以及为期 12 周的密集、“实践”、结构良好的研究经验。 REAP-TP 将为有才华的医学生与全额资助的 NIH 研究教师导师进行匹配，该计划将日常研究经验与正在进行的系列课程、夏季研究研讨会、同行圆桌研究讨论、口头报告以及来自杰出 UTMB 的指导结合起来学院。此外，医学生将有机会选择基础、临床、转化或行为研究项目。具体目标是： 1) 让医学生在职业发展的早期接触研究职业的兴奋和挑战，并鼓励他们的调查和分析技能 2) 鼓励医学生从事基础或临床研究职业糖尿病、肥胖、内分泌和营养失调、代谢疾病、消化、肝肾疾病、泌尿和血液疾病等领域。 3) 为希望在未来寻求额外研究培训和资助的学生提供宝贵的经验和参考， 4) 增加在继续履行 NIDDK 使命所必需的领域从事生物医学或行为研究的医师科学家队伍， 5) 通过增加在少数群体特别脆弱的领域（如糖尿病、终末期肾病和肥胖症）开展研究的医师科学家队伍，解决健康和医疗保健差距问题。 REAP-TP将丰富医学生的研究背景，让他们能够在实验室里亲身体验研究，优秀的教师将科学探究的兴奋带入生活。
