项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY This application is for a competitive renewal of R25 NS076445 to fund “Summer Program for Under- represented Students (SPURS)”, to be renamed “Summer Program for Undergraduate Rising Stars (SPURS)”, through the RFA-HL-21-168 mechanism. 100% of the proposed funding will be used to support SPURS students working on neuroscience projects central to the mission of NINDS. SPURS will provide an intensive, undergraduate biomedical research experience for talented African-American/Black, Hispanic Latino(a), Native American/Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, first-generation, and economically disadvantaged students in the neurosciences at Columbia University. SPURS will train 14 outstanding students each year who are undergraduates majoring in areas relevant to neuroscience and biomedical research.Columbia University's SPURS Program provides an intense undergraduate research experience on the campus of Columbia's College of Physicians & Surgeons (P&S) for talented students from backgrounds that are under-represented in biomedical research. SPURS participants are accepted from the City University of New York (CUNY) senior colleges, including Hunter, Brooklyn, Queens, and City Colleges, as well as universities and colleges nationwide. SPURS provides extensive training in basic and translational neuroscience research, and enhances the likelihood that the students will achieve a career in science by pursuing an advanced degree (M.D. and/or Ph.D.). To expand opportunities for under-represented minority undergraduate students to participate in high quality, focused and sustained research experiences in the neurosciences, the SPURS program leverages outstanding resources and faculty mentors in the neurosciences. Over the last funding period, applications have soared and in the upcoming period, we propose to continue training highly qualified minority student participants. Students perform hands-on research for nine summer weeks under the mentorship of NINDS-supported Columbia University neuroscientists (currently 89 Columbia University researchers receive NINDS support). In addition to specific training in neuroscience, the students have received in-depth training in research methodology including: (a) the design and analysis of experiments; (b) critical reading of scientific literature through journal clubs and discussions of ethics in science; (c) the presentation of scientific results at laboratory meetings; (d) presentation of their research at poster sessions; (e) an oral presentation of their research to an audience of scientists; and (f) career counseling. Finally, the research training will be provided in a uniquely enriching setting that includes weekly meetings with under- represented minority role models in biomedical research. The SPURS program addresses the critical need to increase the pipeline of highly qualified minority trainees into neuroscience.

项目概要本申请用于 R25 NS076445 的竞争性更新，以资助“Under-Summer Program” 代表学生（SPURS）”，更名为“本科生新星暑期项目” (SPURS)”，通过 RFA-HL-21-168 机制，100% 的拟议资金将用于支持。致力于 NINDS 使命核心的神经科学项目的 SPURS 学生将提供一个为有才华的非裔美国人/黑人、西班牙裔提供密集的本科生物医学研究经验拉丁裔 (a)、美洲原住民/阿拉斯加原住民、太平洋岛民、第一代和经济弱势群体哥伦比亚大学神经科学专业的学生每年将培养14名优秀学生。他们是神经科学和生物医学研究相关领域的本科生。哥伦比亚大学的 SPURS 项目在校园内提供丰富的本科生研究经验哥伦比亚大学内外科医学院 (P&S) 面向来自以下背景的优秀学生 SPURS 参与者在生物医学研究中的代表性不足。约克 (CUNY) 高级学院，包括亨特学院、布鲁克林学院、皇后学院和城市学院，以及大学 SPURS 提供基础和转化神经科学方面的广泛培训。研究，并提高学生通过追求科学事业实现科学事业的可能性高级学位（医学博士和/或博士学位）扩大少数族裔本科生的机会。学生参与神经科学领域的高质量、重点突出和持续的研究经验 SPURS 项目在过去利用了神经科学领域的优秀资源和教师导师。资助期内，申请量猛增，未来一段时间，我们建议继续高度培训合格的少数族裔学生参与者在夏季进行九周的实践研究。由 NINDS 支持的哥伦比亚大学神经科学家（目前 89 名哥伦比亚大学）提供指导研究人员获得 NINDS 的支持）除了神经科学方面的专门培训之外，学生们还获得了接受了研究方法方面的深入培训，包括：(a) 实验的设计和分析；(b) 通过期刊俱乐部和科学伦理讨论对科学文献进行批判性阅读； (d) 在海报会议上介绍他们的研究； (e) 向科学家听众口头介绍他们的研究；以及 (f) 职业咨询。研究培训将在独特的丰富环境中提供，其中包括与不足的人员每周举行会议 SPURS 计划满足了生物医学研究中少数群体的榜样。增加少数族裔合格学员进入神经科学领域的渠道。
