DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): University of Colorado Denver has a successful undergraduate (UG) student diversity research short-term internship program. Better known as GEMS (Graduate Experiences for Multicultural Students), it pairs UG students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds with lab mentors. Over the past 10 years, 101 UG students participated: 27 are still UG (85% will apply to professional schools); 74 have graduated, 49 are in some health professional school or have a health-professional degree for a success rate of 66%. The Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) launched the Colorado Clinical Translational Science Institute (CCTSI) to build infrastructure for educational resources/enhancement of translational research. The CCTSI will partner with the GEMS program. In this new R25 we request funds to continue (and replace) the 10 year-old NHLBI-funded T35 GEMS and provide experiences to 10 UG and 2 health professional students. We propose several aims: 1.expose students to research careers by immersion in laboratories with basic or physician scientists; 2. expose students to quantitative and analytical skills; 3. improve student comprehension of science by participation in brown bags covering several topics; 4. expose students to science topics through research seminars; 5. increase awareness of clinical/translational research by shadowing physician scientists at the clinic; 6. create a website in partnership with the CCTSI to track students. With this award, we will continue to stimulate students from diverse backgrounds to pursue health-related careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This internship program at the University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus, seeks to expose undergraduate and health professional students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds to summer laboratory or clinical translational research experiences in order to increase their representation in research related to cardiovascular, pulmonary or hematologic areas. The goal is to create a workforce of health-related researchers who are as diverse as the community they serve. By exposing these students early in their careers, we hope to capture their interest and excite them about the possibilities of biomedical research. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）：科罗拉多大学丹佛分校拥有成功的本科生 (UG) 学生多样性研究短期实习计划。它更广为人知的名称是 GEMS（多元文化学生研究生体验），它将来自不同背景和弱势背景的 UG 学生与实验室导师配对。过去10年，101名UG学生参加：27名仍为UG（85%将申请专业学校）； 74 人已毕业，49 人在卫生专业学校或拥有卫生专业学位，成功率为 66%。临床转化科学奖 (CTSA) 成立了科罗拉多临床转化科学研究所 (CCTSI)，为教育资源/加强转化研究建设基础设施。 CCTSI 将与 GEMS 计划合作。在这个新的 R25 中，我们请求资金来继续（并取代）已有 10 年历史的 NHLBI 资助的 T35 GEMS，并为 10 名 UG 和 2 名健康专业学生提供经验。我们提出了几个目标： 1.通过与基础科学家或医学科学家一起沉浸在实验室中，让学生接触到研究职业； 2. 让学生掌握定量和分析技能； 3. 通过参与涵盖多个主题的棕色袋子，提高学生对科学的理解； 4. 通过研究研讨会让学生接触科学主题； 5. 通过跟踪诊所的医师科学家来提高对临床/转化研究的认识； 6. 与 CCTSI 合作创建一个网站来跟踪学生。通过这个奖项，我们将继续激励来自不同背景的学生追求与健康相关的职业。 公共健康相关性：科罗拉多大学丹佛分校安舒茨医学校区的这一实习项目旨在让来自不同背景和弱势背景的本科生和健康专业学生接触夏季实验室或临床转化研究经验，以提高他们在心血管相关研究中的代表性、肺部或血液区域。目标是建立一支由健康相关研究人员组成的队伍，他们与他们所服务的社区一样多样化。通过在这些学生职业生涯的早期接触他们，我们希望引起他们的兴趣并激发他们对生物医学研究的可能性的兴趣。 （摘要完）
