Project Summary This project builds on a successful history of a 15 STT and 23 years of the SMART summer undergraduate research program in the Graduate School of Baylor College of Medicine located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston. The objective is to inspire and prepare under-represented undergraduates to continue their education in biomedicine. The goals are (1) to introduce 10 undergraduate UR participants/year to heart, lung and blood research, including cutting edge technologies in computational techniques, imaging, tissue engineering, knock-out mouse analysis with a goal that 80% will report that being in the program encouraged them to conduct research during their career; (2) to promote more independent functioning as scientists, so that 80% will meet all goals; 3) to expand and strengthen each participant's base of scientific knowledge, including cutting edge technologies, with a goal that 80% will report a large to enormous gain in knowledge; (4) to help students improve preparation for the GRE by increasing scores by an average of 100 points on the combined verbal and quantitative sections of the exam; (5) to provide personal career counseling to help students access the next step in their training. The plan for meeting our objectives include the following strategies: (1) Placing students in productive research laboratories where they will become a part of the research team, learn new techniques, like cryoEM, 2 photon microscopy, MRI analysis, tissue engineering and computational analysis of data typically not available on their own campuses and contribute to the research effort; (2) Encouraging and monitoring the students' progress toward more independent functioning as assessed on the progress assessment form; (3) Providing research discussion groups and seminars that emphasize heart, lung and blood research and visits to several labs conducting frontier level research in imaging, cardiac tissue reconstruction and computational analysis; (4) Providing access to the SMART GRE preparatory workshops and test-prep counseling; (5) Providing information and opportunities for students to gain better perspectives on career choices through a variety of mechanisms, including a Graduate School Night, graduate school application workshops, a session on MD/Ph.D. programs and personal career counseling Progress on each objective is monitored through a variety of surveys completed by students and their mentors and analysis of brief written summaries and presentations of participants' projects.

项目摘要 该项目以15个Smart的15年和23年的成功历史为基础 贝勒学院研究生院的夏季本科研究计划 医学位于休斯敦德克萨斯州医疗中心。目的是激发 并准备代表不足的大学生，以继续他们的教育 生物医学。目标是（1）将10位本科您的参与者/年介绍给 心脏，肺和血液研究，包括计算中的尖端技术 技术，成像，组织工程，敲除鼠标分析，目标是80％ 将报告说，正在计划中，鼓励他们在他们的过程中进行研究 职业; （2）促进作为科学家的更多独立功能，以便80％ 所有目标； 3）为了扩展和加强每个参与者的科学知识基础， 包括尖端技术，目标是80％，将报告庞大而巨大 获得知识； （4）帮助学生通过增加为GRE改善GRE的准备 在言语和定量部分的综合分数中，得分平均得分为100点 考试； （5）提供个人职业咨询以帮助学生访问下一个 踏上训练。 实现我们的目标的计划包括以下策略：（1）安置学生 在生产性研究实验室中，他们将成为研究团队的一部分， 学习新技术，例如冷冻，2个光子显微镜，MRI分析，组织 数据的工程和计算分析通常无法独立使用 校园并为研究工作做出贡献； （2）鼓励和监视 按照进度评估，学生在更独立的功能方面取得了进步 评估表； （3）提供研究讨论小组和研讨会 强调心脏，肺和血液研究，并访问多个指导前沿的实验室 成像，心脏组织重建和计算分析方面的水平研究； （4） 提供访问智能GRE预备研讨会和测试预辅助咨询； （5）提供信息和机会，以使学生获得更好的观点 通过各种机制的职业选择，包括研究生院之夜， 研究生院申请研讨会，有关医学博士/博士学位的会议。程序和个人 职业咨询 每个目标的进展都通过完成的各种调查来监控 学生及其导师以及对简短的书面摘要和演讲的分析 参与者的项目。
