Summary The University of Colorado Anschutz (CU Anschutz) has a strong history of training undergraduate, pre- and post-doc scientists in the biomedical sciences, and specifically in cancer research. The overarching goal of the Cancer Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) program is to provide a mechanism through which undergraduate students can explore cancer research as a future career. In this research- intensive experience, students will spend 10 weeks in a laboratory working with a mentor from the University of Colorado Cancer Center. Students will choose from 52 qualified mentors with expertise in basic and clinical/ translational cancer research. CREU is primarily a research-intensive experience, however students will also attend weekly seminars that explore fundamental questions in cancer biology and professional development, including career mentoring. In addition, students will select from a variety of clinical/translational workshops (CTWs) based on their interests. CTW's will typically be ½ day experiences with faculty and biotechnology companies on the CU Anschutz campus and will be structured so as to capitalize on unique strengths and cancer training opportunities on our campus in personalized medicine and bioinformatics, cancer pathobiology and molecular diagnostics, and experimental therapeutics and biotechnology. A total of 26 students will be selected to participate in CREU from a pool of national applicants. To assure representation of diverse trainees, we have established “links” to two minority serving institutions, Chaminade University of Honolulu and the University of New Mexico. Applicants from these institutions will be given preferential consideration for participation in CREU, provided they meet our admissions standards. We will also actively recruit under- represented students at regional and national minority recruitment events. The CREU program is designed to provide potentially transformative experiences for college students who are interested in careers in biomedical research, but who have had limited immersive experiences in cancer research. Our goal is to increase the number of students, particularly from underrepresented minorities, who choose to pursue cancer research for a career. We will determine how well we meet our goals using short and long-term evaluation tools.

总结 科罗拉多安舒茨大学（CU Anschutz）有着培养本科生、预科生和预科生的悠久历史。 和博士后科学家在生物医学科学，特别是在癌症研究。总体 本科生癌症研究经验（CREU）计划的目标是提供一种机制， 通过这个项目，本科生可以探索癌症研究作为未来的职业。在这项研究中- 密集的经验，学生将花10周的时间在实验室工作与导师从 科罗拉多大学癌症中心。学生将从52名具有以下专业知识的合格导师中选择 基础和临床/转化癌症研究。CREU主要是一个研究密集型的经验， 然而，学生们也将参加每周一次的研讨会，探讨癌症生物学的基本问题。 和职业发展，包括职业指导。此外，学生将从各种 临床/翻译研讨会（CTW）的基础上，他们的利益。CTW通常为半天 与CU Anschutz校园的教师和生物技术公司的经验，并将 结构，以便利用独特的优势和癌症培训机会在我们的校园， 个性化医学和生物信息学，癌症病理生物学和分子诊断学，以及 实验疗法和生物技术。共有26名学生将被选中参加 CREU从一个国家申请人池。为了确保不同学员的代表性，我们 与两所少数族裔服务机构--檀香山查米纳德大学和 新墨西哥州大学。这些院校的申请人可获优先考虑， 参加CREU，只要他们符合我们的招生标准。我们还将积极招募- 代表学生参加区域和少数民族征聘活动。CREU计划是 旨在为有兴趣的大学生提供潜在的变革性体验， 生物医学研究的职业生涯，但在癌症研究方面的沉浸式经验有限。 我们的目标是增加学生的数量，特别是来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生， 选择从事癌症研究为职业。我们将确定我们如何实现我们的目标， 短期和长期评估工具。
