CANCER RESEARCH SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

该提案将建立一个项目，为俄亥俄州立大学医学院的学生提供短期的研究经验。该项目旨在为30名学生提供为期8周的夏季癌症研究体验。10名预科医学生和21名一年级医学生与俄勒冈州立大学医学中心的研究人员一起工作。该项目旨在培养他们对癌症研究的兴趣，为他们提供对最新科学发现及其与临床环境的相关性的见解，并为他们提供CCC教师一对一的指导。除了实践研究经验，学生还将参加午餐系列研讨会，由来自美国各地的领先癌症研究人员举办讲座。这些研讨会将向学生介绍各种癌症专业的最新研究发现和技术。在夏季结束时，学生们将在夏季研究海报日展示他们的工作成果。海报日将为他们提供一个机会，了解更多关于气候变化中心的其他研究。学生将在各自的实验室参加会议和研讨会。此外，任何学生的研究被接受在科学会议上展示，可以申请旅行津贴。该项目旨在让医科学生在俄勒冈州立大学癌症研究中心的独特环境中接触到临床和实验室癌症研究的许多方面。医学生将参与研究项目，参加讲座和研讨会，并支持在国家科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。那些参加第二个暑假的学生（上一年的预科生）将担任新参与者的导师，为该计划提供重要的指导组成部分。招募参与者将重点吸引代表性不足和少数族裔的学生参加该项目。最后，我们将实施一个长期跟踪系统来衡量暑期经历对职业选择和研究参与的影响，这将量化该项目对职业决策和实践偏好的长期影响。

This proposal would establish a program to provide short research experiences for Ohio State University medical students. It is designed to provide 30 students with an 8-week, summer cancer research experience. Ten prematriculated medical students and twenty first-year medical students to work with researchers in the OSU-CCC. The program is designed to cultivate their interest in cancer research as a career, to provide them with insight into the latest scientific discoveries and their relevance to the clinical setting and to furnish them with one-on-one mentoring by CCC faculty. In addition to the hands-on research experience, students will also attend a lunchtime seminar series, featuring lectures by leading cancer researchers from all over the U.S. These seminars will introduce the students to the latest research discoveries and technologies in a variety of cancer specialties. At the end of the summer, students will present the results of their work in a Summer Research Poster Day. Poster Day will provide them with an opportunity to learn more about other research within the CCC. Students are expected to participate in meetings and seminars in their individual labs. Furthermore, any students whose research is accepted for presentation at a scientific meeting may apply for a travel stipend. This program is intended to expose medical students to the many facets of cancer research, both clinical and bench-based, within the unique environment of the OSU-CCC. The medical students will participate in research projects, attend lectures and seminars and be supported to present their research at national scientific meetings. Those students who participate for a second summer (prematriculated students from the previous year) will act as mentors to incoming participants, providing an important mentoring component to the program. Recruitment of participants will place an emphasis on attracting underrepresented and minority students to the program. Lastly, we will implement a long-term tracking system to measure the impact of the summer experience on career choices and research participation, which will quantify the long-term impact of this program on career decisions and practice preferences.
