DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose here a new program at the UCSD School of Medicine (SOM) titled the Diversity in Research and Medicine (DIRM) Program. The goal of this short-term program is to introduce undergraduates who come from ethnic minorities, economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as ones with physical disabilities to future training available in M.D./ Ph.D. programs, and attract them to a career as a physician-scientist. Individuals from all of these groups are underrepresented in medicine and biomedical sciences. Our overall goal is to provide a research-intensive but focused experience with exposure to critical components of the Physician-Scientist training program. The Specific Aims of the training program are to: 1) Provide a short-term research-intensive laboratory experience in the summer that will enable future participation in academic research efforts, and promote the entrance of individuals from underrepresented racial/ethnic or disadvantaged backgrounds into M.D./Ph.D. programs. 2) Enhance the ability of the applicants to understand the clinical training and efforts of physician-scientists by participation in a clinical shadowing experience with faculty members. 3) Motivate and enable trainees to apply to and matriculate in health science programs by participation in university-wide events and didactic conferences with faculty and MSTP trainees, culminating in written and oral presentation of the summer trainees' scientific work at a campus-wide forum for undergraduate trainees. The UCSD SOM has a long track record in research and clinical excellence, as well as experience in programs geared to amplifying the diversity of the biomedical workforce. The proposed DIRM Program will be connected to but distinct from our NIH-supported MSTP, a graduate-level program that trains M.D./Ph.D. physician- scientists. To qualify for DIRM, applicants must be undergraduate students from ethnic minority groups; economically or socially disadvantaged backgrounds or have a physical disability. The DIRM program is unique and significant in that it provides a research-intensive and clinically-connected program for these undergraduate trainees. Importantly, this program will be one of the few in the U.S that promotes both biomedical research and health care delivery and that focuses on future entrance into a M.D./Ph.D. program of students from backgrounds underrepresented in these programs. It will foster their future training and careers in biomedical sciences and healthcare, in general. By introducing such opportunities to these trainees who are at a formative age, we believe it will attract them towards a career as a physician-scientist with specific interest in cardiovascular diseases. We realize, of course, that it is difficult to predict this ultimate goal for students who are at an erly stage of their training, but our initial, preliminary results support this belief.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们在此提议在加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学院 (SOM) 开展一项名为“研究和医学多样性 (DIRM) 计划”的新计划。该短期项目的目标是向来自少数民族、经济或社会弱势背景以及身体残疾的本科生介绍未来的医学博士/博士学位培训。计划，并吸引他们从事医师科学家的职业。所有这些群体的个人在医学和生物医学领域的代表性不足。我们的总体目标是提供研究密集型但重点突出的经验，让您了解医师-科学家培训计划的关键组成部分。培训计划的具体目标是： 1）在夏季提供短期研究密集型实验室经验，使他们能够参与未来的学术研究工作，并促进来自代表性不足的种族/民族或弱势背景的个人进入医学博士/博士程序。 2) 通过参与教职人员的临床见习体验，增强申请人了解医师科学家的临床培训和努力的能力。 3) 通过与教师和 MSTP 学员一起参加全校范围的活动和教学会议，激励并帮助学员申请并入读健康科学项目，最终在全校论坛上以书面和口头形式介绍暑期学员的科学工作对于本科生来说。加州大学圣地亚哥分校 SOM 在研究和临床卓越方面拥有悠久的记录，并且在旨在扩大生物医学劳动力多样性的项目方面拥有丰富的经验。拟议的 DIRM 计划将与 NIH 支持的 MSTP 相关但又不同，MSTP 是一个培养医学博士/博士的研究生水平计划。医生-科学家。为了获得 DIRM 资格，申请者必须是来自少数族裔群体的本科生；经济或社会弱势背景或有身体残疾。 DIRM 项目是独特且重要的，因为它为这些本科生提供了研究密集型和临床相关的项目。重要的是，该项目将是美国为数不多的既促进生物医学研究又提供医疗保健服务的项目之一，并且重点关注未来攻读医学博士/博士学位。来自这些项目中代表性不足的背景的学生的项目。总体而言，它将促进他们未来在生物医学科学和医疗保健领域的培训和职业生涯。通过向这些处于成长期的学员提供这样的机会，我们相信这将吸引他们成为对心血管疾病特别感兴趣的医师科学家。当然，我们意识到，对于处于培训早期阶段的学生来说，很难预测这一最终目标，但我们最初的初步结果支持了这一信念。 （摘要结束
