项目摘要

Since its origins nearly 60 years ago, the Iowa Medical Student Summer Research Program has continuously evolved to sustain its mission of enveloping medical students in mentored research opportunities that foster their development into accomplished physician-scientists that positively impact human health. The last six years have demonstrated unprecedented success in the level of student engagement and productivity with ongoing achievement in the recruitment and retention of students from underrepresented groups. It is against this backdrop of accelerated growth and diversification that we propose to sharpen our focus and deepen our students' engagement with an exceptional cadre of enthusiastic mentors performing scientifically rigorous trans-NIDDK research focused on digestive and liver diseases; endocrine and metabolic diseases; obesity and nutritional disorders; or kidney and urologic diseases. Those four areas of investigation are long-standing institutional strengths, and with seed funding from our College of Medicine, we have begun transitioning our historically successful campus-wide single-stream funding model into a re-envisioned program with the same high level administrative infrastructure now leveraged to selectively enhance recruitment and support of a diverse cohort of M1 students that are committed to a summer of immersive research with our curated roster of 42 outstanding and experienced Participating Faculty on a project within the research mission of the NIDDK. This training grant proposal seeks transformative funding for 16 students to participate in 12-week summer fellowships, and the funds provided through this training grant would be matched by the College of Medicine, amplifying the impact of the award. In synergy with extensive opportunities provided through relevant Centers and Institutes, scholars will receive Instruction in Methods for Enhancing Reproducibility and the Responsible Conduct of Research, as well as mentor-guided journal clubs and research seminars. In the years that follow, students enroll in our research skills course, year-long research opportunities, the Research Distinction Track, and dual degree programs. We closely monitor students alongside their mentors as they continue their pathway towards a research career with incremental advancement through the continuity of support that is available at our institution, including funding during residency, fellowship, and junior faculty appointments. We critically evaluate every aspect of our extensive programing each year through a combination of anonymous surveys and collaborative discussions to continuously enhance the exposure of our students to the entire research process, from writing a proposal to analyzing data, presenting at local and national meetings, and ultimately disseminating the results in peer reviewed journals. The long-term impact of this program is the development of a diverse cohort of physicians that are equipped to extend their discoveries into real-life applications that improve human health through prevention and improved treatment for gastrointestinal, endocrine, metabolic, nutritional, renal and urologic disease.

自近 60 年前成立以来，爱荷华州医学生暑期研究项目不断不断发展以维持其使命，即让医学生获得受指导的研究机会，从而培养他们成长为对人类健康产生积极影响的杰出医学科学家。最后六场多年来，在学生的参与度和生产力方面取得了前所未有的成功在招收和留住代表性不足群体的学生方面不断取得成就。这是反对在加速增长和多元化的背景下，我们建议加强我们的重点并深化我们的学生与一群表现出科学严谨、充满热情的杰出导师互动 trans-NIDDK 研究重点是消化和肝脏疾病；内分泌及代谢疾病；肥胖和营养失调；或肾脏和泌尿系统疾病。这四个调查领域由来已久借助我们医学院的种子资金，我们已经开始转变我们的机构优势将历史上成功的全校园单流资助模式转变为具有相同内容的重新设想的计划现在利用高级别行政基础设施有选择地加强招聘和支持多元化的 M1 学生群体致力于与我们精心策划的暑期沉浸式研究 42 名杰出且经验丰富的参与教师参与了 NIDDK 研究任务中的一个项目。该培训补助金提案为 16 名学生参加为期 12 周的暑期课程寻求变革性资金奖学金，并且通过该培训补助金提供的资金将由医学院匹配，扩大奖项的影响力。与相关中心提供的广泛机会协同作用和研究机构、学者将接受关于增强再现性的方法和责任人的指导开展研究，以及导师指导的期刊俱乐部和研究研讨会。在接下来的几年里，学生参加我们的研究技能课程、为期一年的研究机会、研究特色课程、和双学位课程。当学生继续他们的学业时，我们和他们的导师一起密切监视他们通过持续的支持，逐步取得进步，迈向研究职业的道路我们机构提供的资金，包括住院医师、研究员和初级教职人员任命期间的资金。我们通过匿名的结合，批判性地评估我们每年广泛计划的各个方面调查和协作讨论，不断增强学生对整个世界的接触研究过程，从撰写提案到分析数据，在地方和国家会议上展示，以及最终在同行评审的期刊上传播结果。该计划的长期影响是培养多元化的医生队伍，有能力将他们的发现延伸到现实生活中通过预防和改善胃肠道治疗来改善人类健康的应用，内分泌、代谢、营养、肾脏和泌尿系统疾病。
