Project Abstract In the summer months of 2010 to 2014 we will hold multiple week-long workshops modeled on a successful pilot and focused on providing cohorts of underrepresented students with intensive research experiences. Students from the University of Puerto Rico, historically black colleges and universities, tribal colleges, and the Midwest Alliance1 for Students with Disabilities in STEM (Midwest) program will learn laboratory skills, engage in problem-solving and scientific thinking and receive mentoring from researchers. We predict that the students will gain an appreciation of and enthusiasm for scientific research and begin to identify as researchers. We hope this workshop will enhance recruitment of the students to graduate school. The students will receive opportunities for shared research experiences in a world-renowned metagenomics laboratory to learn both theoretical knowledge and technical skills applicable to careers in biomedical research. The proposed workshop will combine challenging research problems with a supportive environment and dedicated mentors. The course will focus on metagenomics, providing students with the opportunity to learn cutting-edge science and the technology driving the Human Microbiome Project (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/) and many other areas of biomedical research. Moreover, when they complete the workshop, some will return to their undergraduate institutions where, under the direction of an advisor collaborating with the PI at UW, they will continue the research initiated at UW-Madison. The students, staff, and faculty at both institutions will remain in contact and share research results. This collaboration will enhance the science and provide students with culturally similar and dissimilar mentors. Students in the Midwest program who attend UW-Madison will be placed in research laboratories.

项目摘要 在2010年至2014年的夏季，我们将举办以成功的飞行员为基础的多个星期的讲习班，并致力于为代表性不足的学生提供密集的研究经验。波多黎各大学，历史上的黑人学院，部落学院和中西部联盟的学生将学习STEM（中西部）计划中的残疾学生，从而学习实验室技能，从事解决问题和科学的思维，并从研究人员那里获得指导。我们预测，学生将对科学研究产生赞赏和热情，并开始确定为研究人员。我们希望这个研讨会能够增强学生招募研究生院。学生将在世界知名的宏基因组学实验室中获得共享研究经验的机会，以学习适用于生物医学研究职业的理论知识和技术技能。 拟议的研讨会将将具有挑战性的研究问题与支持性环境和专门的导师相结合。该课程将重点放在宏基因组学上，为学生提供学习尖端科学和推动人类微生物组项目的技术（http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/）和生物医学研究的许多其他领域。此外，当他们完成研讨会时，有些人将返回本科机构，在与UW与PI合作的指导下，他们将继续在UW-Madison发起的研究。这两个机构的学生，教职员工和教职员工将保持联系并分享研究结果。这项合作将增强科学，并为学生提供文化相似和不同的导师。参加UW-Madison的中西部计划的学生将被安置在研究实验室中。
