项目摘要

This proposed Summer Research Program is a competing renewal of the JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG). Part of HIHG’s mission is to train the next generation of researchers. For this reason, it has hosted, for the last five years, the JJ Vance Memorial Summer Internship in Biological and Computational Sciences (JJ Vance internship), a program that has offered rising seniors from Miami-area high schools a unique opportunity to be directly involved in scientific research. The program has been highly successful, receiving a total of 541 applications during the 5-year funding period from 94 different high schools in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, for only 12-13 positions per year. Of the 63 selected interns during this time, 47% were Hispanic/Latino, 15% were African American, 30% were white non-Hispanic and 8% were Asian. Ninety-seven percent (97%) of students that have graduated from high school (two classes are still in high school) have attended college, and STEM majors represent 87% of the ex-interns’ college major fields of study with 20% currently attending additional graduate study. The programs’ design incorporates the student into ongoing working research groups led by faculty members at the HIHG, focusing on a hands-on and mentoring experience. We strive to create a passion for science, for research; to enable the student to experience not only the creativity of science but understand what career steps it takes to get them there. We offer both laboratory as well as a computer-based (bioinformatics, statistical genetics, data- management programming) experience.

拟议的暑期研究计划是约翰·P·赫斯曼人类基因组学研究所 (HIHG) 生物和计算科学 JJ 万斯纪念暑期实习项目的竞争更新，HIHG 的部分任务是为此培训下一代研究人员。因此，在过去的五年里，它主办了 JJ 万斯纪念生物和计算科学暑期实习项目（JJ 万斯实习），该项目为迈阿密地区高中的新生提供了机会该项目非常成功，在 5 年资助期内共收到来自迈阿密戴德县和布劳沃德县 94 所不同高中的 541 份申请，其中 12 至 13 名学生。在此期间，在 63 名选定的实习生中，47% 是西班牙裔/拉丁裔，15% 是非洲裔美国人，30% 是非西班牙裔白人，8% 是亚洲人。百分之九十七 (97%) 的高中毕业学生（两个班还在高中）上过大学，STEM 专业占前实习生大学专业学习领域的 87%，目前占 20%该项目的设计将学生纳入由 HIHG 教师领导的持续工作研究小组中，重点关注实践和指导经验。学生体验我们不仅提供科学的创造力，而且了解实现这一目标所需的职业步骤。我们提供实验室和基于计算机的（生物信息学、统计遗传学、数据管理编程）经验。
