非洲裔美国人癌症研究人员很少。为了帮助解决这个问题，一个综合癌症中心和一个遥远的本科生物学系之间的教育合作是在一个少数民族机构，试图教学生介绍癌症生物学，同时建模研究文化。建立了以学生为中心的主动学习课程，其中包括科学海报演示和模拟研究练习，以促进癌症生物学的学习。学生们成功地挖掘了主要文献中的支持性数据，以测试癌症相关的假设。学生的反馈表明，海报项目大大提高了对癌症生物学的理解深度，并为随后的实验室工作奠定了基础。这种机构间的合作模拟了研究过程，同时传达了有关癌症的事实和概念。
There is a paucity of African-American Cancer researchers. To help address this, an educational collaboration was developed between a Comprehensive Cancer Center and a distant undergraduate biology department at a minority institution that sought to teach students introductory cancer biology while modeling research culture. A student-centered active learning curriculum was established that incorporated scientific poster presentations and simulated research exercises to foster learning of cancer biology. Students successfully mined primary literature for supportive data to test cancer-related hypotheses. Student feedback indicated that the poster project substantially enhanced depth of understanding of cancer biology and laid the groundwork for subsequent laboratory work. This inter-institutional collaboration modeled the research process while conveying facts and concepts about cancer.
