PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Through the NIDDK Short-Term Education Program for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP), the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) proposes to implement the UCLA STEP-UP, as one of two sites dedicated to coordinating the recruitment of students from the 48 contiguous United States (excluding American Indian students as per the RFA) over the 5-year award period. The program will provide an in-depth, mentored health sciences immersion experience each summer to 25 promising underrepresented high school students who are committed to a career in NIDDK mission areas, including diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition, obesity, and digestive, urologic, kidney, and hematologic diseases. The main goal of this program is provide a robust summer biomedical science research experience reinforced by an ongoing year round mentoring program to these 25 promising underrepresented high school students from around the nation who otherwise would likely not have access to a promising career path in the sciences. The UCLA STEP-UP program will include an introductory web-based research conduct and lab/clinic readiness training curriculum, an informal mentor-led laboratory and research orientation, opportunities for attendance at various research forums, specialized student-specific research assignments and activities, and support for students to attend the annual NIH student research symposium where they will present their research findings to their peers and senior researchers. The specific aims of the UCLA Step-Up are to: 1. Provide a rewarding 8 week mentored summer research experience to 25 underrepresented high school students annually, which includes education in research principles, research conduct, and the presentation of science; 2. Provide intensive mentoring to each student by active research faculty; 3. Fully participate in the national STEP-UP symposium at NIH/NIDDK, where the students make oral and/or poster presentations to peers and established researchers using the standard presentation format of national scientific meetings; and 4. Evaluate the impact of UCLA STEP-UP on key early hallmarks of success that predict students' ability to excel in the biomedical and health professional sciences.

项目摘要/摘要 通过NIDDK的短期教育计划（升级），大卫 加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的Geffen医学院提议实施 加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA 在5年奖励期内，美国连续的美国（根据RFA不包括美洲印第安学生）。 该计划将在每年夏天提供深入的，指导的健康科学浸入体验至25岁 承诺在Niddk Mission地区致力于职业的高中生人数不足 包括糖尿病，内分泌学，代谢，营养，肥胖和消化，泌尿科，肾脏和 血液学疾病。 该计划的主要目标是提供强大的夏季生物医学科学研究经验 这25个有希望的高中尚有持续的全年指导计划加强了 来自全国各地的学生，否则他们可能无法获得有前途的职业道路 科学。 UCLA升级计划将包括基于Web的介绍性研究行为和实验室/诊所 准备培训课程，非正式导师主导的实验室和研究取向，机会 参加各种研究论坛，专业的学生特定研究任务和活动以及 支持学生参加年度NIH学生研究研讨会的支持 对同行和高级研究人员的研究结果。 UCLA升级的具体目标是： 1。为25个代表性不足的高高提供奖励8周的夏季研究经验 每年的学校学生，包括研究原则，研究行为的教育和 科学的介绍； 2。通过积极的研究学院为每个学生提供密集的指导； 3。完全参加NIH/NIDDK的国家升级研讨会 和/或海报介绍给同龄人和已建立的研究人员，使用标准演示 国家科学会议的格式；和 4。评估UCLA升级对预测学生能力的成功的关键早期标志的影响 在生物医学和卫生专业科学中表现出色。
