PROJECT SUMMARY The Neuroscience Colorado Research Experience (N-CORE) is a summer internship and educational program that gives undergraduate students from historically underrepresented backgrounds (URM) authentic neuroscience research experiences in state-of-the-art biomedical research labs at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical School Campus (CU Anschutz). N-CORE's overarching goal is to cultivate a better understanding of neuroscience and biomedical research, engender scientific enthusiasm, and promote retention in scientific fields. N-CORE accomplishes this through a summer program that combines high- quality mentored research experiences, educational programming, professional development opportunities, and longitudinal mentoring. N-CORE interns receive instruction on core neuroscience concepts, scientific rigor and reproducibility, scientific communication, and professional development. At the end of the summer internship, all interns present their research at a campus-wide Undergraduate Research Symposium. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring an inclusive environment that fosters diversity in education and research and all Program faculty mentors will receive training in mentoring diverse students. After the internship, intern alumni are automatically enrolled in our Pre-doctoral Mentorship Program, where they will receive customized guidance on profession development and career opportunities. N-CORE brings together the expertise, enthusiasm, and institutional support to succeed in its goals. The N-CORE Program Directors bring over a decade of experience in managing a summer research program for URM undergraduate students and have built a strong alliance with the CU Anschutz Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP), an NIH-supported T32 training program. Critically, N-CORE also brings on-board NGP graduate and MD/PhD students in the leadership and operations of N-CORE. These students will help interns quickly integrate into the CU Anschutz research community. In this proposal, we seek to build on our collective past successes and expertise to create a well-supported, sustainable summer research experience program for URM undergraduate students that will foster a better understanding of neuroscientific biomedical and clinical research and build a community for like-minded individuals interested in continuing along a scientific or medical career path.

项目概要 科罗拉多州神经科学研究体验 (N-CORE) 是一项暑期实习和教育活动 为来自历史上代表性不足背景（URM）的本科生提供真实的计划 科罗拉多大学最先进的生物医学研究实验室的神经科学研究经验 安舒茨医学院校园（CU Anschutz）。 N-CORE的总体目标是培养更好的 了解神经科学和生物医学研究，激发科学热情，促进 科学领域的保留。 N-CORE 通过暑期项目实现了这一目标，该项目结合了高 高质量的指导研究经验、教育规划、专业发展机会、 和纵向指导。 N-CORE 实习生接受核心神经科学概念、科学 严谨性和可重复性、科学沟通和专业发展。夏天结束的时候 实习期间，所有实习生都会在全校本科生研究研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。 重点将放在确保促进教育和研究多样性的包容性环境 所有项目教师导师都将接受指导多元化学生的培训。实习结束后，实习生 校友将自动加入我们的博士前指导计划，在那里他们将获得定制的 职业发展和职业机会的指导。 N-CORE汇集了专业知识， 热情和机构支持来成功实现其目标。 N-CORE 项目总监带来了 拥有十年管理 URM 本科生暑期研究项目的经验，并拥有 与 CU Anschutz 神经科学研究生项目 (NGP) 建立了强大的联盟，该项目是 NIH 支持的 T32 培训计划。重要的是，N-CORE 还带来了 NGP 研究生和医学博士/博士生 N-CORE 的领导和运营。这些学生将帮助实习生快速融入CU 安舒茨研究社区。在本提案中，我们力求以我们过去的集体成功为基础， 专业知识为 URM 创建一个得到充分支持、可持续的夏季研究体验项目 本科生将促进对神经科学生物医学和临床的更好理解 研究并为志同道合的个人建立一个社区，有兴趣继续沿着科学或 医学职业道路。
