PROJECT SUMMARY This R25-proposal, entitled Short Term Training Program for Minorities, will focus the considerable strengths and diversity of multi-departmental and institutional research dealing with vascular biology at Vanderbilt University and Meharry Medical College into a coherent framework for introducing research design and methods. Stipends for 10 undergraduate students will be available. The undergraduate students will be recruited from across the country and from those groups of individuals described in the R25 initiative. Every effort will be made to have these students participate in the program for two consecutive summers. While the training program will focus primarily on research, the students will be offered the opportunity to attend a three week course on Introduction to Research, where they will obtain basic skills in research that can be applied to their own summer work and a ten week course on Concepts and Mechanisms in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry which will help prepare them for future graduate work; a workshop on opportunities (careers) in research; a workshop on Ethics in Research; a GRE preparation course, and attendance and participation in a seminar series presented by the faculty preceptors. At the end of the summer, the students will present orally their work to the other students and the faculty, very much in the style of talks given at national meetings. This will be accompanied by a short written report of their summer research activities, in the style of a journal article. This training is intended to prepare the students for what is needed and expected to succeed in graduate school, to increase their interest in vascular biology research, and to introduce them to research - techniques, methodologies and career options. Training facilities include 9 departments in 9 adjacent buildings at Vanderbilt and the Division of Biomedical Sciences, including Cancer Biology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and Immunology, and Neuroscience, at Meharry Medical College. Two of the major goals of this proposal are (1) to provide the type of environment that will encourage students to choose a career of scientific investigation, and (2) to help increase the diversity of those working in vascular biology research, whether it be at academic institutions or at research opportunities in the private sector. Those successful individuals, will, in turn, act as role models for future students interested in research careers. Another important goal is to provide multidisciplinary research training for future scientists which will be critical to discovering new information that will lead to improved diagnosis, prevention and therapy for cardiovascular diseases.

项目摘要 这款R25 proposal，标题为少数民族的短期培训计划，将集中于大量 涉及血管生物学的多部门和机构研究的优势和多样性 范德比尔特大学和梅哈里医学院成为一个连贯的框架，用于介绍研究设计 和方法。将提供10位本科生的津贴。本科生将 来自全国各地的招募，以及R25计划中描述的个人群体。每一个 将努力让这些学生连续两个夏天参加该计划。而 培训计划将主要关注研究，将为学生提供参加三个的机会 研究介绍的周课程，他们将获得可以应用于研究的基本技能 他们自己的夏季工作和十周的课程，介绍了分子生物学，遗传学的概念和机制 和生物化学，这将有助于他们为将来的研究生工作做好准备；机会研讨会 （职业）研究；研究道德的讲习班； GRE准备课程，出席和 参加教师主持人提出的研讨会系列。在夏天结束时，学生 将以口头向其他学生和教师提供口头的工作，这是按照在 国家会议。这将伴随着他们的夏季研究活动的简短书面报告， 期刊文章的风格。该培训旨在为学生做好准备和预期的准备 在研究生院取得成功，增加对血管生物学研究的兴趣，并将其介绍给 研究 - 技术，方法和职业选择。培训设施包括9个部门 范德比尔特（Vanderbilt）的邻近建筑物和包括癌症生物学在内的生物医学科学划分 Meharry医学院的药理学，微生物学和免疫学以及神经科学。两个 该建议的主要目标是（1）提供鼓励学生选择的环境类型 科学研究的职业，以及（2）帮助增加在血管生物学上工作的人的多样性 研究，无论是在学术机构还是私营部门的研究机会。那些 成功的个人将反过来充当对研究职业感兴趣的未来学生的榜样。 另一个重要目标是为未来的科学家提供多学科研究培训，这将是至关重要的 发现将改善心血管诊断，预防和治疗的新信息 疾病。
