DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this summer research program at Mayo Clinic is to provide exciting research opportunities for undergraduate and medical students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds or who are disabled. We intend to accomplish our goals by positively influencing underrepresented students toward research careers by providing them with a glimpse of the excitement and rewards associated with research. The primary activity continues to be participation in intense 8} 10 weeks of mentored laboratory or clinical research, especially in the fields of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and hematological diseases. A series of carefully designed organized activities give a broader perspective than any one research mentor can provide. Several elements also specifically provide students with knowledge and skills that will help them succeed in their future educational endeavors. The Specific Aims include: 1) Provide underrepresented minority students and students from disadvantaged backgrounds with dynamic research experiences under the guidance of a skilled mentor working in an area of cardiovascular, respiratory, or hematologic diseases research. 2) Expose students to a wide array of research areas, both basic science and patient-oriented, through weekly scientific seminars designed for advanced undergraduate and beginning medical students. 3) Through group activities and individual career counseling, challenge students headed toward clinical medicine to think about also doing clinical research. 4) For students supported by this research education grant, provide an extra weekly group meeting to ensure access to minority researcher role models and specific training in communication skills. 5) Motivate and encourage students interested in basic science research to continue this career path by showing them the direct applicability of such research to human disease. 6) Provide direct linkages for summer students to longer-term training in both basic science and clinical research. The program is evaluated by trainees, research faculty mentors and an external evaluator. Tracking of participants is accomplished by regular contact by phone and email to provide advice and to obtain updates. A newsletter published twice-yearly and a directory updated annually is sent to the program alumni. This research education program will provide short-term biomedical research training to a diverse cohort of undergraduate and medical students (e.g. ethnic/racial minorities, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds). The goal is to stimulate these students to include biomedical research in their careers thus contributing to the diversification of the biomedical research workforce. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）： 梅奥诊所（Mayo Clinic）本夏季研究计划的目标是为来自代表性不足和处于不利地位的背景或残疾人的本科生和医学生提供令人兴奋的研究机会。我们打算通过对研究职业的积极影响不足的学生来实现我们的目标，从而瞥见与研究相关的兴奋和奖励。主要活性继续是参与指导的实验室或临床研究的10周激烈的8}，尤其是在心血管，肺部和血液学疾病的领域。一系列精心设计的有组织的活动给出了比任何研究导师提供的更广泛的观点。几个要素还专门为学生提供了知识和技能，这些知识和技能将有助于他们在未来的教育努力中取得成功。具体目的包括：1）在熟练的导师的指导下，在心血管，呼吸系统或血液学疾病研究的领域工作的指导下，为代表性不足的少数群体和来自处境不利的背景的学生提供了动态的研究经验。 2）通过为高级本科生和初学者设计的每周科学研讨会，使学生接触到基础科学和以患者为导向的各种研究领域。 3）通过小组活动和个人职业咨询，挑战学生前往临床医学的学生也考虑进行临床研究。 4）对于由这项研究教育资助的学生提供的学生，提供每周一次的小组会议，以确保与少数族裔研究人员的榜样和沟通技巧中的特定培训。 5）通过向他们展示此类研究对人类疾病的直接适用性，激励和鼓励对基础科学研究感兴趣的学生继续这一职业道路。 6）为夏季学生提供直接联系，以进行基础科学和临床研究的长期培训。该计划由学员，研究教师和外部评估者评估。通过电话和电子邮件定期联系来实现参与者的跟踪，以提供建议并获取更新。每年两次发布的新闻通讯和每年更新的目录被发送给计划校友。该研究教育计划将为各种本科生和医学生（例如，少数民族，残疾人和来自弱势背景的人）提供短期生物医学研究培训。目的是刺激这些学生将生物医学研究包括在其职业中，从而有助于生物医学研究人员的多样化。 （抽象的结尾）
