ABSTRACT Pathways to Cancer Research Renewal (“Pathways Renewal”) is a renewal of the Pathways to Cancer Research grant R25 CA221770 awarded to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (“Fred Hutch”) in Seattle, Washington. It is designed to meet the goals of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) to broaden participation of underrepresented populations in science and thereby increase the diversity of the scientific workforce. This renewal places a strong emphasis on developing two major focus areas across our Pathways programs - computational biology and cancer health inequities. These areas of importance were identified by our students and are also priorities of NCI/NIH. We will build on the prior investments NCI has made in our science education efforts through the YES R25 mechanism, introducing new and innovative components and strengthening our existing Pathways programs for educators and underrepresented high school and undergraduate students. We will develop and offer two new virtual high school activities that were piloted in 2021 in response to the pandemic: an outreach program that focuses on using computational tools to analyze cancer datasets, and a school-year academic research internship. Our aims for this proposal are to: 1) Provide “Hutch Teacher Fellowship” mentored multi-year research experiences for secondary science teachers, preparing them to develop curriculum materials focused on computational biology and cancer health inequities; 2) Expand our “Explorers” and “Coding for Cancer” introductory outreach programs aimed at increasing the pool of eligible youth interested in cancer research in general, and computational biology and cancer health inequities in particular; and 3) Thread opportunities for computational analysis and community action related to cancer health inequities throughout our “Explorers Virtual School-Year Internship” and “Pathways Undergraduate Researchers” mentored, multi-year research internship experiences. Across our programs, we place a strong emphasis on the development of scientific identity, fostering a sense of belonging in science, and preparing students to communicate science to their families and communities. Our integrated and holistic approach builds on the long-standing, robust institutional support for science education at Fred Hutch, our successful history of engaging and supporting underrepresented students to pursue cancer research careers, and the strength of our science education staff and scientific faculty.

抽象的 Pathways to Cancer Research Renewal（“Pathways Renewal”）是 Pathways 的更新 癌症研究拨款 R25 CA221770 授予 Fred Hutchinson 癌症研究 中心（“Fred Hutch”）位于华盛顿州西雅图。其目的是为了实现国家的目标 卫生研究院 (NIH) 和国家癌症研究所 (NCI) 扩大参与范围 科学领域的代表性不足，从而增加科学的多样性 劳动力。此次更新特别强调发展两个主要重点领域 我们的衔接课程 - 计算生物学和癌症健康不平等。这些领域 我们的学生确定了其中的重要性，也是 NCI/NIH 的优先事项。我们将在此基础上 NCI 之前通过 YES R25 对我们的科学教育工作进行的投资 机制，引入新的和创新的成分并加强我们现有的 为教育工作者和代表性不足的高中和本科生提供的衔接课程 学生。我们将开发并提供两项新的虚拟高中活动，这些活动已在 2021 年应对大流行：一项侧重于使用计算的外展计划 分析癌症数据集的工具以及学年学术研究实习。我们的目标是 该提案旨在： 1）提供“Hutch Teacher Fellowship”指导的多年研究 为中学科学教师提供经验，帮助他们准备开发课程材料 专注于计算生物学和癌症健康不平等； 2）扩大我们的“探索者”和 “癌症编码”介绍性外展计划旨在增加符合条件的人群 对一般癌症研究以及计算生物学和癌症健康感兴趣的年轻人 特别是不平等； 3) 计算分析和社区的线程机会 在我们的“探索者虚拟学年”中与癌症健康不平等相关的行动 实习”和“本科生研究人员衔接课程”指导的多年研究 实习经历。在我们的计划中，我们非常重视发展 科学认同，培养科学归属感，并帮助学生做好准备 向家人和社区传播科学知识。我们的综合和整体方法 建立在 Fred Hutch 对科学教育的长期、强有力的机构支持之上，我们的 吸引和支持代表性不足的学生追求癌症的成功历史 研究事业以及我们科学教育人员和科研人员的实力。
