项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY 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 551 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 an 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. 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.

项目概要拟议计划的目标是增加训练有素的少数民族的数量进入博士培养和生物科学研究生涯的本科生该申请寻求生物医学科学并在 NHLBI 感兴趣的领域进行研究。每年支持 14 名本科生进行生物医学研究暑期研究的资金例如心血管、肺或血液疾病谁将参加 10 医学部夏季荣誉本科生研究计划（SHURP）哈佛医学院的科学系目前有 551 名校友，其中 97% 是校友。已经或计划继续接受生物医学培训目标是 (1) 增加学生对生物医学研究和职业选择的了解，（2）提高他们的能力研究相关技能以及对这些技能的信心，（3）激发他们追求的兴趣生物医学研究的职业，特别是 NHLBI 感兴趣的领域，(4) 提高学生选择合适课程并准备成功申请的能力，(5) 提供项目内和项目后指导，(6) 协助项目校友建立该项目的主要重点是哈佛大学实验室的研究。医学院的教职人员是博士和医学博士/博士的成功研究导师项目以及在 NHLBI 感兴趣的领域进行研究的实验室研究人员。辅之以每周所需的师生研究讨论研讨会、负责任地开展研究、职业探索和发展研讨会，参加领导力联盟研讨会、研究生指导等招募与教师、研究生和医学生见面的机会。通过与本科项目主任和 SHURP 的个人接触在全国范围内进行校友，在少数理科学生研究或职业会议上推广该计划，向科学项目主管发送邮件，以及印刷和在线广告。每年从超过 500 名申请者中根据他们对研究、智力的兴趣进行筛选能力，以及教师对认知和个人技能的评估。由学员、教师研究导师、学员的大学科学顾问进行评估 up 活动包括定期与学员联系以提供建议和建立联系机会、每年两次的校友通讯、定期更新的校友名录、校园访问以及与项目校友的非正式电话、信件和电子邮件联系。还允许我们跟踪申请人及其职业道路。
