Program for Oncology Workforce Education and Research Experience at Dartmouth

抽象力 拟议的达特茅斯肿瘤学劳动力教育和研究计划(POWERED)，将 确定、招募和培训未被充分代表的少数族裔本科生，以便在癌症领域独立发展 研究，特别注意相关的科学和生活/职业技能。合格的学生将来自团体 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方位多模式强化培训 从大二到大四的整个暑假的经历。我们建议在基础上建设 我们开发的基金会是由NCI资助的一项为期三年的P30“治愈”补充，介绍了 从少数族裔到达特茅斯大学肿瘤学研究的本科生。POWERED是一个为期两年的 项目包括达特茅斯大学诺里斯分校的两个为期8周的暑期(共16周)全日制指导研究 棉花癌症中心(NCCC)由4个学期(每个学期16周)的兼职协调科学 在他们的家乡机构进行研究。将做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。他们将与PI一起组成个人辅导团队(S)，跟踪每个学生的进步。 来自整个新汉普郡的学院和大学的教职员工组成了新汉普郡INBRE(NH- INBRE IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络)，将招募和提名有前途的 代表不足的少数族裔学生提出申请，并随后安排辅导被选中的学生 作为国内机构的研究实习生。高年级的一个特别重点是确保毕业后的就业。 从事癌症研究或相关生物医学领域的工作或培训。一套教育工具来实现 将使用形成性和终结性措施来制定和评估具体目标，以实现动态 适当的改变，以满足具体目标，并传播给其他教育工作者。

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.
