项目摘要

Summer Research Experiences in Neuroscience (SREN), developed and led by the Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) at UC San Francisco (UCSF), will annually support 10 public high school students, the majority from backgrounds underrepresented in the biomedical sciences, in neuroscience research internships. Interns’ research projects will focus on deepening our understanding of the brain and nervous system in order to reduce the burden of neurological disease. UCSF’s world-renowned departments of Neurology, Neurological Surgery, and Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases offer an ideal backdrop to develop interns’ ability to conduct rigorous scientific research. The specific aims for this project are to:1) develop students’ science skills, 2) build students’ awareness of neuroscience careers and identity as neuroscience researchers, 3) foster college readiness, and 4) disseminate our efforts broadly. This project leverages UCSF SEP’s experience coupling authentic research experiences with co-curricular supports to prepare students to matriculate to and thrive in college, ultimately to increase participation in neuroscience careers among students from backgrounds defined by the NIH as underrepresented in biomedical research. The short- and long-term impacts of SREN on its student cohort will be documented through surveys to track high school graduation, college matriculation, major selection and degree completion, as well as students’ self-reported gains in science confidence and researcher identity. Over the lifetime of the project, 50 students will be engaged in authentic neuroscience research projects and have the chance to leverage the support structures within SREN to propel themselves into a neuroscience career.

由UC旧金山分校（UCSF）的科学与健康教育合作伙伴关系（SEP）开发和领导的Neuroscience（SREN）（SREN）的夏季研究经验，每年将支持10名公立高中学生，这是来自生物医学科学的背景，在神经科学研究实习实习方面的多数席位。实习生的研究项目将着重于加深我们对大脑和神经系统的理解，以减少神经系统疾病的燃烧。 UCSF的神经病学，神经外科和神经退行性疾病研究所的世界知名部门提供了理想的背景，以发展实习生进行严格的科学研究的能力。该项目的具体目的是：1）发展学生的科学技能，2）建立学生对神经科学职业的认识和作为神经科学研究人员的身份，3）培养大学准备，4）4）广泛传播我们的努力。该项目利用UCSF SEP的经验将真实的研究经验与课外支持耦合，以使学生能够使学生矩阵上大学和蓬勃发展，最终增加来自NIH定义为生物医学研究不足的背景学生的神经科学生涯的参与。 SREN对学生队列的短期和长期影响将通过调查记录，以跟踪高中毕业，大学矩阵，主要选择和学位完成以及学生在科学信心和研究人员身份方面的自我报告的增长。在该项目的一生中，有50名学生将从事正宗的神经科学研究项目，并有机会利用SREN内的支持结构将自己推向神经科学生涯。
