DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a need to motivate students who are entering the health professions to pursue careers in cancer research. This is particularly true of minorities, who are currently underrepresented in biomedical research. This proposal seeks to provide short-term cancer research experiences for medical students and college students, particularly underrepresented minority students. The long-term goal is to stimulate interest in and commitment to careers in cancer research. The short-term goal is to attract and motivate students to pursue cancer research by providing research opportunities with experienced EVMS investigators engaged in contemporary basic or clinical cancer research. The specific aims of the project are to: 1. Provide students with the opportunity to conduct cancer research-related investigations with a faculty mentor; 2. Expose students to biomedical research with an emphasis in oncology; and 3. Encourage students, especially underrepresented minorities, to pursue clinical and/or research careers in cancer Students for the program will be selected from an applicant pool consisting of students from Eastern Virginia Medical School, Hampton University, and Norfolk State University. Students will be selected by a committee consisting of members from the three institutions, and assigned to a mentor based on their interests. The research phase of the program will be bolstered with an educational component consisting of a course in Cancer Biology. Students will present the results of their work at a research conference to be held at the end of the program and annually at EVMS Research Day. Mechanisms to evaluate the program are designed to assess (a) student achievement of research objectives; (b) the research experience and program design; and (c) short-term and long-term outcomes.

描述（由申请人提供）：有必要激励学生谁是进入卫生专业追求职业生涯中的癌症研究。 少数群体尤其如此，他们目前在生物医学研究中的代表性不足。 该提案旨在为医学生和大学生，特别是代表性不足的少数民族学生提供短期癌症研究经验。 长期目标是激发对癌症研究职业的兴趣和承诺。 短期目标是通过提供与从事当代基础或临床癌症研究的经验丰富的EVMS调查人员进行研究的机会，吸引和激励学生从事癌症研究。该项目的具体目标是： 1.为学生提供与教师导师进行癌症研究相关调查的机会; 2.让学生接触生物医学研究，重点是肿瘤学; 3.鼓励学生，特别是代表性不足的少数民族，追求癌症的临床和/或研究事业 该项目的学生将从东弗吉尼亚医学院、汉普顿大学和诺福克州立大学的学生中挑选。 学生将由一个由三个机构的成员组成的委员会选出，并根据他们的兴趣分配给导师。 该计划的研究阶段将得到由癌症生物学课程组成的教育部分的支持。 学生将在研究会议上展示他们的工作成果，该会议将在课程结束时举行，并每年在EVMS研究日举行。 评估计划的机制旨在评估（a）学生的研究目标的实现;（B）研究经验和计划设计;以及（c）短期和长期成果。
