项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT In 2015, Massachusetts General Hospital for Children (MGHfC) established the MGHfC Digestive Disease Summer Research Program with the objective of providing short-term support for 10 undergraduate and/or medical students to conduct mentor-supervised independent research in the setting of a research-oriented teaching hospital. Students perform an independent research project focused on digestive diseases on a full- time basis over a ten-week period during the summer months within a laboratory or collaborating laboratory of MGHfC faculty. Collaborating laboratories of the MGHfC are laboratories within the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) community that possess unique expertise in engineering and computational sciences currently being leveraged to support various projects centered on digestive disease research. In addition to conducting an independent project to be formally presented at a summer's end symposium, each student participates in a peer-driven biomedical course entitled “Immunity, Microbes, & the Mucosa” as well as a panel discussion on careers in biomedicine facilitated by faculty and biomedical professionals. Currently 22 MGH independent investigators with interest in digestive diseases serve as mentors and have hosted students in their laboratories since 2015. An advisory board that includes the program director, associate director, and a faculty member is responsible for overseeing the program as well as recruiting and selecting participating students each summer. The MGHfC Digestive Disease Summer Program has recruited approximately fifty students from regions throughout the United States since its inception and this proposal seeks funding to support the continuation of this program with the objective of recruiting and training at least fifty additional students over the next five years. Several former students are of backgrounds under-represented in biomedical science careers and strategies are in place to continue to recruit this vital cohort of future researchers into the field of digestive diseases. Our goal is to continue to immerse undergraduates and medical students in a structured and intensive research experience that will serve to encourage them to continually seek opportunities to develop their scientific and research skills as they move forward in their careers and inspire them to ultimately become part of and thereby reinforce the biomedical research workforce.

项目概要/摘要 2015 年，麻省儿童总医院 (MGHfC) 成立了 MGHfC 消化疾病科暑期研究计划，旨在为 10 名本科生和/或医学生在以研究为导向的环境中进行导师监督的独立研究教学医院的学生们进行了一个专注于消化系统疾病的独立研究项目。夏季期间在实验室或合作实验室内进行为期十周的时间基础 MGHfC 教员的合作实验室是马萨诸塞州综合医院内的实验室。目前在工程和计算科学方面拥有独特专业知识的医院 (MGH) 社区除了进行消化疾病研究外，还被用来支持各种项目。一个将在暑期研讨会上正式提出的独立项目，每个学生都参加题为“免疫、微生物和粘膜”的同行驱动生物医学课程以及关于目前 22 名 MGH 独立人士推动了生物医学领域的职业生涯。对消化系统疾病感兴趣的研究人员担任导师并接待学生自 2015 年起成立的实验室。一个顾问委员会，包括项目主任、副主任和一名教员成员负责监督该计划以及招募和选择参与的学生每年夏天，MGHfC 消化疾病暑期项目都会招收大约 50 名学生。自该提案成立以来，来自美国各个地区的人都参与其中，该提案寻求资金来支持继续该计划，目标是招募和培训至少 50 名以上的学生未来五年，一些以前的学生在生物医学科学领域的背景代表性不足。职业和战略已经到位，可以继续招募这一重要的未来研究人员进入该领域我们的目标是继续让本科生和医学生沉浸在结构化的课程中。和深入的研究经验将有助于鼓励他们不断寻找机会在他们的职业生涯中发展他们的科学研究技能，并激励他们最终成为生物医学研究队伍的一部分，从而加强生物医学研究队伍的力量。
