DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to effectively address the need for physician scientists who are trained to conduct biomedical research, we propose a short-term research training program for pre-matriculating and matriculated medical students at LSUHSC-New Orleans. This Summer Internship Program (SIP) will support ten students to work with researchers within the Alcohol Research Center (ARC) and is designed to cultivate their interest in research careers. We have identified many faculty mentors who are working in the area alcohol abuse and related diseases and have the support of the ARC. Students will conduct intensive hands-on clinical or basic science research for 10 weeks in the summer, working with ARC faculty. Those students who participate for a second summer (pre-matriculated students) will act as peer mentors to incoming students, thus providing an important mentoring component to the program. The goals of this program include: 1) to provide medical students with research experiences; 2) to provide students with strong career and research mentoring; 3) to increase the participation in research by women and minority students; 4) to provide summer interns with the career skills they will need to succeed in academic medicine. In addition to their research experience, students will receive didactic training on: lab safety, responsible conduct of research, HIPPA, use of animals in research, skill development in writing abstracts and presenting research results (oral and poster presentations). At the end of the summer, students will give an oral presentation at the Summer Research Symposium; they will also be supported to present their data at national or regional meetings. We will work to recruit 20% underrepresented minority participants, reflecting the demographics of the LSU medical school class. In order to determine the impact the program has on individual participants, summer interns will complete Goals Attainment Scales (GAS) as well as Research Self Efficacy (RSE) surveys. GAS has been shown to be a valuable and flexible technique for the evaluation of summer research training programs. RSE is a major predictor of career choice and performance. We will also conduct formative and summative evaluations concerning the entire program, in order to determine what programmatic changes may be needed and to tailor the program to better meet the needs of the students. Lastly, working with the Office of Student Affairs, we will implement a career tracking system which will measure the long-term impact of their summer experience on career choices and research participation, thus quantifying the long-term impact of this program. This program will not help to create the next generation of alcohol researchers but also will prepare physicians to treat the variety of alcohol-related diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：为了有效满足对接受过生物医学研究培训的医师科学家的需求，我们为路易斯安那州立大学新奥尔良分校医学生的预科和已录取医学生提出了一个短期研究培训计划。该暑期实习计划 (SIP) 将支持 10 名学生与酒精研究中心 (ARC) 的研究人员一起工作，旨在培养他们对研究职业的兴趣。我们已经确定了许多在酒精滥用和相关疾病领域工作的教师导师，并得到了 ARC 的支持。夏季，学生将与 ARC 教师一起进行为期 10 周的密集实践临床或基础科学研究。那些参加第二个暑假的学生（预科学生）将担任即将入学的学生的同伴导师，从而为该计划提供重要的指导组成部分。该项目的目标包括：1）为医学生提供研究经验； 2）为学生提供强有力的职业和研究指导； 3）增加女性和少数民族学生对研究的参与； 4) 为暑期实习生提供他们在学术医学领域取得成功所需的职业技能。除了研究经验之外，学生还将接受以下方面的教学培训：实验室安全、负责任的研究行为、HIPPA、在研究中使用动物、撰写摘要和展示研究结果（口头和海报展示）的技能发展。夏季结束时，学生将在夏季研究研讨会上进行口头报告；还将支持他们在国家或区域会议上展示其数据。我们将努力招募 20% 代表性不足的少数族裔参与者，以反映路易斯安那州立大学医学院班级的人口统计数据。为了确定该计划对个人参与者的影响，暑期实习生将完成目标达成量表（GAS）以及研究自我效能（RSE）调查。 GAS 已被证明是评估夏季研究培训项目的一种有价值且灵活的技术。 RSE 是职业选择和绩效的主要预测指标。我们还将对整个项目进行形成性和总结性评估，以确定可能需要进行哪些项目更改，并调整项目以更好地满足学生的需求。最后，我们将与学生事务办公室合作，实施职业跟踪系统，衡量他们的暑期经历对职业选择和研究参与的长期影响，从而量化该项目的长期影响。该计划不仅有助于培养下一代酒精研究人员，而且还将帮助医生做好治疗各种酒精相关疾病的准备。
