PROJECT SUMMARY The diminishing pipeline of physician scientists is a well-established concern and the National Institutes of Health has established that medical students not pursuing a dual degree were more likely to choose a research career as a result of exposure to research during medical school. Therefore, by providing mentored short-term research experiences for medical students, and aligning students with a physician/surgeon-scientist role model, opportunity exists to influence the career choices of medical students and address the deficit in the number of physician/surgeon-scientists entering the workforce. The Short-Term Research Experiences Advancing Medical Students (STREAMS) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) offers summer research fellowships with the goal of encouraging medical students to pursue research careers, particularly in research areas related to the mission of NIDDK. This proposal seeks support to provide a formal program with stipend support to promising medical students engaged in an 8-12 week, mentored research experience with the goal of encouraging students to seriously consider careers in academic medicine and enhance the pipeline of physicians and surgeons with potential to pursue academic careers with NIDDK-related research interests. UAB is ideally suited for this program; the program boasts outstanding leadership, an environment that promotes engagement of medical students in research, a well-funded group of trainers with extensive commitment to medical student mentorship, a diverse pool of potential trainees, a wide breadth of research opportunities including health disparities research, and matching institutional support. UAB is also home to 5 NIDDK funded research centers. Furthermore, while there are thirteen AAMC accredited medical schools in the Deep South, only three T35s targeting short-term experiences for medical students have been awarded to these institutions. There are no NIDDK-funded T35s held by institutions in Alabama or the neighboring states of Mississippi and Georgia. By partnering medical students with successful physician/surgeon scientists who will serve as research role models, we aim to increase the future pool of physician/surgeon scientists in the southeast.

项目摘要 医师科学家的管道减少是一个公认的关注点，国立机构 健康状况已经确定，不攻读双学位的医学生更有可能选择 医学院期间接受研究的研究职业。因此，通过提供指导 医学生的短期研究经验，并使学生与医师/外科医生科学家保持一致 榜样，有机会影响医学生的职业选择并解决 进入劳动力的医师/外科医生的人数。短期研究经验 伯明翰（UAB）的阿拉巴马大学的医学生（Streams）提供夏季 研究奖学金的目的是鼓励医学生从事研究职业，特别是 与NIDDK的使命有关的研究领域。该建议寻求支持，以提供正式计划 为有前途的医学生提供了8-12周的津贴支持，指导了研究经验 鼓励学生认真考虑学术医学职业并增强管道的目标 具有与NIDDK相关研究兴趣的学术职业潜力的医师和外科医生。 UAB非常适合该计划；该计划拥有杰出的领导力，这个环境 促进医学生参与研究，这是一群资金丰富的培训师，拥有广泛的培训师 致力于医学学生指导，潜在的学员多样化，广泛的研究 包括健康差异研究的机会，以及匹配机构支持。 UAB也是5的家 NIDDK资助的研究中心。此外，虽然有13所AAMC认可的医学院 深南方，只有三个针对医学生的短期经验的T35被授予 这些机构。没有由机构在阿拉巴马州或邻国的机构持有的NIDDK资助的T35 密西西比州和佐治亚州的雕像。通过与成功的医师/外科医生的科学家合作 我们将作为研究榜样，我们旨在增加医师/外科医生的未来库 东南。
