DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed program is focused on increasing the number of well-trained minority undergraduate students who enter doctoral training and biological science research careers in the biomedical sciences and do research in areas of interest to NHLBI. The application seeks funds to support 14 undergraduate students/yr for summer research in biomedical research such as cardiovascular, pulmonary or hematological disorders who will participate in the 10 week Summer Honors Undergraduate Research Program (SHURP) of the Division of Medical Sciences based at Harvard Medical School. There are currently 475 alumni and 97% of them have or are planning to continue training in the biomedical sciences. The objectives are (1) to increase students' knowledge of biomedical research and career choices, (2) to improve their research-related skills and confidence in those skills, (3) to stimulate their interest in pursuing careers in biomedical research, especially in areas of interest to NHLBI, (4) to improve the students' ability to select n appropriate program and to prepare a successful application, (5) to provide intra-program and post-program mentoring, (6) to assist the program alumni in building a professional network. The major focus of the program is research in laboratories of Harvard Medical School faculty members who are successful research mentors in the PhD and MD/PhD programs and who do research in areas of interest to NHLBI. Laboratory research is supplemented by required weekly student-faculty research discussion seminars, training in the Responsible Conduct of Research, career exploration and development workshops, participation in the Leadership Alliance Symposium, mentoring by graduate students, and other opportunities to meet faculty and graduate and medical students. Applicants are recruited nationwide through personal contacts with undergraduate program directors and SHURP alumni, promotion of the program at minority science student research or career conferences, mailings to science program directors, and print and on-line advertisements. Students are selected from over 500+ applicants/yr on the basis of their interest in research, intellectual competence, and teacher assessment of cognitive and personal skills. The program is evaluated by the trainees, faculty research mentors, trainees' college science advisors and by an External Advisory Committee. Follow-up activities include regular contact with trainees to provide advice and networking opportunities, a twice-yearly alumni newsletter, a periodically- updated alumni directory, campus visits, and informal telephone, letter, and email contacts with program alumni. These contacts also allow us to track the applicants and their career paths. (End of Abstract)

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议计划的目标是增加训练有素的少数族裔本科生的数量，这些本科生在生物医学科学中进入博士学培训和生物科学研究生涯，并在NHLBI感兴趣的领域进行研究。该应用程序寻求资金支持14名本科生/年，以进行生物医学研究的夏季研究，例如心血管，肺或血液学疾病，他们将参加基于哈佛医学院的医学科学司的10周夏季荣誉本科研究计划（SHURP）。目前有475名校友，其中97％的人有或计划继续在生物医学科学领域进行培训。 （1）的目标是提高学生对生物医学研究和职业选择的了解，（2），以提高其研究相关的技能和对这些技能的信心，（3）刺激他们从事生物医学研究中的职业兴趣，尤其是在NHLBI感兴趣的领域，尤其是在NHLBI领域，（4）提高学生的能力，以提高N n nhlbi的能力，以提高n个适当的计划，并提供一项成功的应用程序（5）（5），（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）（5）建立专业网络的校友。该计划的主要重点是对哈佛医学院教职员工的实验室研究，他们是博士学位和MD/PHD计划的成功研究导师，并且在NHLBI感兴趣的领域进行研究。实验室研究补充了所需的每周学生教师研究讨论，在负责任的研究，职业探索和发展研讨会，参与领导力联盟专题讨论会，研究生的指导以及其他机会与教师和研究生和医学生会的机会中进行补充。申请人是通过与本科课程董事的个人联系和SHURP校友，在少数民族科学学生研究或职业会议上促进该计划的申请人，邮寄给科学计划导演的邮件，以及印刷和在线广告。根据他们对研究，智力能力以及对认知和个人技能的教师评估的兴趣，从500多名申请人/年中选择了学生。该计划由学员，教职员工研究员，学员的大学科学顾问以及外部咨询委员会评估。后续活动包括与受训者的定期联系以提供建议和网络机会，每年两次的校友通讯，定期更新的校友目录，校园访问以及非正式的电话，信函，信函和与计划校友的电子邮件联系。这些联系人还使我们能够跟踪申请人及其职业道路。 （抽象的结尾）
