PROJECT SUMMARY: RESEARCH EDUCATION CORE The goal of the Meharry Medical College/Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center/Tennessee State Cancer Partnership (MVTCP) Research Education Program is to facilitate the growth and career development of a new population of outstanding underrepresented minority (URM) cancer researchers. Our current Pathway to Discovery program begins with cancer research education for high school students, continues for undergraduate Biology/Chemistry majors at Tennessee State University (TSU) and culminates with support for graduate students (PhD, MSPH and MPH) at Meharry Medical College (MMC) and TSU. The program also includes research support for medical students at MMC and Vanderbilt University (VU). This program has proven to be very successful in supporting the progression of a diverse population of students into cancer research careers. We propose to enhance the efficacy of the Pathway to Discovery program by including psychosocial resources derived from social cognitive career theory (SCCT). Research experience will engage students in the development and evolution of self- efficacy (SE) as well as a sense of being part of the scientific research community [science identity (SI)]. SCCT research shows that strong SE and SI are especially crucial to URM students entering and completing the necessary programs to pursue research careers, including cancer research. We propose a program grounded in SCCT that provides psychosocial resources and research experiences needed to develop and sustain SE and SI. MVTCP is particularly suited to target African American and Latinx undergraduate students (at TSU), graduate (at TSU and MMC) and medical students (at MMC). High school students come from two local STEM magnet schools with predominant URM student populations. To achieve our goals, we propose the following aims: 1) Provide psychosocial resources for high school (8 students, 4 juniors and 4 seniors) and undergraduate students (12 students, 3 at each level freshmen through seniors) engaged in continuous academic year and summer cancer research experiences to ensure development of SI and SE by leveraging the cancer research and support resources at our Partnership institutions. Development of SE and SI will be accomplished by providing opportunities for laboratory research and communities of practice (CoP) and a series of workshops based in SCCT. 2) Recruit and support a diverse population of graduate students (2 MPH/3 PhD students each year) who will evolve, strengthen and maintain a strong SI and SE as they engage in cancer research with the ultimate goal of enhancing the diversity of the cancer research workforce. SCCT-based workshops and resources targeted at the evolution and maintenance of SE and SI in our graduate students will be implemented. 3) Provide educational research opportunities, workshops and CoP to medical students (4 students each year at MMC/4 at VU) to ensure successful evolution, strengthening and maintenance of their SI and SE and to sustain their interest in clinical population sciences and translational cancer research with a focus on disparities.

项目摘要：研究教育核心 梅哈里医学院/范德比尔特-英格拉姆癌症中心/田纳西州癌症合作伙伴关系的目标 (MVTCP) 研究教育计划旨在促进新人群的成长和职业发展 杰出的代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 癌症研究人员。我们当前的探索之路计划 从高中生的癌症研究教育开始，继续本科生物学/化学 田纳西州立大学 (TSU) 的专业，并最终为研究生（博士、公共卫生硕士）提供支持 梅哈里医学院 (MMC) 和 TSU 的公共卫生硕士 (MPH)。该计划还包括对医疗的研究支持 MMC 和范德比尔特大学 (VU) 的学生。事实证明，该计划在支持方面非常成功 不同群体的学生进入癌症研究职业的进展。我们建议加强 通过纳入源自社会认知的社会心理资源，探索探索之路计划的功效 职业理论（SCCT）。研究经验将使学生参与自我的发展和演变 功效 (SE) 以及作为科学研究界一部分的感觉 [科学身份 (SI)]。 SCCT 研究表明，强大的 SE 和 SI 对于 URM 学生进入并完成课程尤为重要 从事研究职业的必要计划，包括癌症研究。我们提出了一个扎根的计划 SCCT 提供发展和维持 SE 所需的社会心理资源和研究经验 SI。 MVTCP 特别适合非裔美国人和拉丁裔本科生（TSU）， 研究生（TSU 和 MMC）和医学生（MMC）。来自当地两所STEM高中生 以 URM 学生为主的磁石学校。为了实现我们的目标，我们提出以下建议 目标：1) 为高中生（8 名学生、4 名大三学生和 4 名大四学生）和本科生提供社会心理资源 学生（12 名学生，每个级别 3 名新生到四年级）参与连续学年，并且 暑期癌症研究经验，利用癌症研究确保 SI 和 SE 的发展 以及我们合作机构的支持资源。 SE 和 SI 的开发将通过以下方式完成 为实验室研究和实践社区（CoP）以及一系列研讨会提供机会 总部设在SCCT。 2) 招募和支持多元化的研究生群体（各 2 名 MPH/3 名博士生） 年），他们将在与癌症研究一起发展、加强和保持强大的 SI 和 SE 最终目标是增强癌症研究队伍的多样性。基于 SCCT 的研讨会和 将实施针对研究生 SE 和 SI 的发展和维护的资源。 3) 为医学生（每年 4 名学生）提供教育研究机会、研讨会和 CoP 在 VU 的 MMC/4），以确保其 SI 和 SE 的成功演进、加强和维护，并 保持他们对临床人口科学和转化癌症研究的兴趣，重点关注差异。
