Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract In this project, we seek to recruit talented high-school students from low income and minority communities in the Boston area who are interested in STEM fields. Through a series of paid summer internships, we will train sets of students on the conduct of biomedical research and encourage them to consider careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. We will partner with the Cambridge chapter of My Brother's Keeper – an organization committed to disrupting and eradicating the chronic social, mental, economical, and educational barriers for young people of color – to reach students that would be difficult to recruit without them. Students will learn to label brain anatomy visible in neuroimaging data, write and publish a scientific paper describing this work, and make the dataset publicly available. By the end of each year's summer internship, the students will have been exposed to scientific writing, data analysis, brain anatomy, ethical considerations in conducting responsible scientific research, the physics of imaging, the clinical disciplines of Neurology and Radiology. Students will leave the program with established, enduring mentorship relationships.
