项目摘要

Abstract The overall goal of this T35 application is to stimulate the development of a new generation of physician-scientists. In order to accomplish this goal, we propose to recruit the best and brightest UTHSC medical students with an interest in medical research and provide a stimulating and structured summer experience between the first and second years of school designed to encourage them to enter into additional research training later in their careers. They will 1) develop written proposals under the supervision of funded, experienced faculty preceptors, 2) conduct their projects in established and productive laboratories or clinical facilities for 2 months between their first year and second years of medical school, 3) report their results in oral and written form, 4) participate in seminars, and 5) receive instruction in the responsible conduct of research. These experiences will enhance their interest in and awareness of careers in academic medicine. Twelve training positions will be offered each year. With the guidance of faculty research mentors, students will develop 4-5 page proposals that are goal-oriented, achievable, and include a hypothesis, literature review, and methodology. Applicants will be selected by peer review based on the quality of the proposal, productivity of the mentor, and training environment. At the end of the project, a final written report is required. Other Program enhancements include a seminar series, special lectures, and opportunities to present and publish the work. Special efforts will continue to be made to attract underrepresented minority participants. Thirty-nine faculty members, holding over $17 million in annual grant awards are proposed as core preceptors. Twenty of the preceptors are engaged in research activities that are funded by NIDDK (13/39) or are directly relevant to NIDDK areas of research interest (7/39). The remainder (19/39) are excellent mentors conducting funded research in areas outside the immediate interest areas of NIDDK. A wide variety of scientific programs (basic, clinical and translational) will be considered for funding in order to accommodate a broad range of medical student interests.

抽象的该T35应用的总体目标是刺激新一代的发展医师科学家。为了实现这一目标，我们建议招募最好的对医学研究感兴趣的最聪明的UTHSC医学生，并提供在开学的第一年和第二年之间刺激和结构化的夏季经验旨在鼓励他们在职业生涯后期接受其他研究培训。他们 1）在资助，经验丰富的教师的监督下制定书面建议主持人，2）在既定且生产的实验室或临床上进行项目在医学院的第一年和第二年之间的两个月的设施，3）报告他们的以口头和书面形式的结果，4）参加研讨会，5）在负责任的研究。这些经历将增强他们对和对学术医学职业的认识。每年将提供十二个培训职位。在教师研究导师的指导下，学生将制定4-5页的建议是面向目标的，可实现的，包括假设，文献综述和方法论。申请人将根据提案的质量，同行评审选择导师和培训环境。在项目结束时，需要最终的书面报告。其他计划的增强功能包括研讨会系列，特殊讲座和机会出示并发布工作。将继续采取特殊努力来吸引代表性不足的少数群体参与者。 39名教职员工，持有超过1700万美元提出年度赠款奖作为核心受体。二十个受体参与由NIDDK（13/39）资助或与NIDDK领域直接相关的研究活动研究兴趣（7/39）。其余的（19/39）是有资助的优秀导师在NIDDK近期利益领域以外的地区进行研究。多种科学计划（基本，临床和翻译）将被考虑用于资助容纳广泛的医学学生利益。
