摘要Powered 拟议的达特茅斯肿瘤学劳动力教育和研究计划（POWERED）将 确定、招募和培训代表性不足的少数民族大学生从事癌症方面的独立职业 研究，特别关注相关的科学和生活/职业技能。合格的学生将从团体 在生物医学研究中的代表性不足。他们将接受为期两年的全面多模式强化培训 经历跨越大二后的夏天，通过他们的高年级。我们建议建立在 基金会，我们已经开发了三年的国家癌症研究所资助的P30“治愈”补充，介绍了 来自少数民族的本科生到达特茅斯的肿瘤学研究。Powered是一个为期两年的 该计划包括两个为期8周的夏季（共16周）的全职指导研究在达特茅斯的诺里斯 棉花癌症中心（NCCC）通过4个学期（每个16周）的兼职协调科学 在他们的家乡机构进行研究。将作出相当大的努力来定制每个参与者的计划 根据他们对癌症的科学兴趣。每个学生都将在他们的家庭实验室和 NCCC。与PI一起，他们将组成个人指导团队（S）来跟踪每个学生的进步。 来自新罕布什尔州的学院和大学的教师组成了新罕布什尔州INBRE，（NH- INBRE生物医学研究卓越理念网络），将招募和提名有前途的 少数族裔学生申请，并随后安排对选定学生进行辅导 作为研究实习生在国内机构。在高年级的一个具体重点是确保毕业后 在癌症研究或相关生物医学领域的工作或培训。一套教育工具，以实现 将使用形成性和总结性措施制定和评估具体目标，以实现动态 根据具体目标进行适当修改，并向其他教育工作者传播。

Abstract POWERED The proposed Program for Oncology Workforce Education and Research at Dartmouth (POWERED), will identify, recruit and train underrepresented minority undergraduates for independent careers in cancer research with specific attention to related scientific and life/career skills. Qualified students will be from groups underrepresented in biomedical research. They will receive a holistic multi-modal two-year intensive training experience spanning the summer following sophomore year through their senior year. We propose building on the foundation we have developed with three years of an NCI-funded P30 “CURE” supplement that introduced undergrads from underrepresented minorities to oncology research at Dartmouth. POWERED is a two-year program including two 8-week summers (16 weeks total) of full-time mentored research at Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center (NCCC) boosted by 4 semesters (16 weeks each) of part-time coordinated scientific research at their home institutions. Considerable effort will be made to customize each participant's program according to their scientific interests in cancer. Each student will have a mentor at their home laboratory and at NCCC. Together, with the PI, they will form Individual Mentoring Team(s) to track the progress of each student. Faculty from colleges and universities throughout New Hampshire that make up New Hampshire INBRE, (NH- INBRE Idea Network of Biomedical Research Excellence), will recruit and nominate promising underrepresented minority students to apply and subsequently arranged for mentoring the selected students as research trainees at the home institution. A specific emphasis in the senior year is securing post-graduation work or training in cancer research or a related biomedical field. A set of Educational Tools to achieve the Specific Aims will be developed and evaluated using formative and summative measures to allow for dynamic change as appropriate to meet the Specific Aims and dissemination to other educators.
