The Cancer Education program of the MSM/TU/UAB Cancer Partnership seeks to introduce minority students at the undergraduate level to cancer research, including research on cancer disparities, via training, mentoring, and coursework. Its goal is to increase the number of minority scientists directing funded cancer research by facilitating the entry of more TU undergraduates into career paths that lead to cancer research The two major thrusts of the Cancer Education program are: 1) Cancer Partnership Internships which will provide extensive training and mentoring to a small group of selected undergraduates, and 2) A new Health Disparities course that will be open to advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well as other future health professionals and researchers. The twelve TU juniors (three/year) selected as Cancer Partnership Interns on the basis of potential for research success will participate in two years of special activities that include a seven-week cancer research internship at a Partnership institution (DAB or MSM), presentation of research results, attendance at a national cancer research meeting, Cancer Journal Club, a hands-on health disparities project, preparation for the GRE/MCAT, and structured mentoring for the transition to graduate study. The proposed Health Disparities course, with emphasis on cancer and bioethics, has been developed recently and will be offered at TU with review, recommendations, and guest lecturing by UAB and MSM investigators. The course will be required of Cancer Partnership Interns, but will be open to other students as well. The purpose of the course is to motivate and equip students to pursue careers that address cancer and other health disparities by expanding participants' knowledge of disparities data, issues, and research strategies.

MSM/TU/UAB 癌症合作伙伴关系的癌症教育计划旨在引入少数群体 本科生通过培训进行癌症研究，包括癌症差异研究， 指导和课程作业。其目标是增加指导资助癌症的少数族裔科学家的数量 通过促进更多的工业大学本科生进入癌症研究的职业道路来进行研究 癌症教育计划的两大重点是： 1) 癌症合作伙伴实习 为一小部分选定的本科生提供广泛的培训和指导，以及 2) 新的健康 差异课程将向高年级本科生、研究生以及其他学生开放 未来的卫生专业人员和研究人员。十二名 TU 青少年（三名/年）被选为巨蟹座 根据研究成功的潜力，合作实习生将参加为期两年的特别项目 活动包括在合作机构（DAB 或 MSM）进行为期七周的癌症研究实习， 介绍研究成果、出席全国癌症研究会议、癌症杂志俱乐部、 健康差异实践项目、GRE/MCAT 准备以及结构化指导 过渡到研究生学习。拟议的健康差异课程，重点是癌症和 生物伦理学，最近开发出来，将在 TU 提供审查、建议和嘉宾 由 UAB 和 MSM 研究人员授课。癌症合作伙伴实习生必须参加该课程，但 也对其他学生开放。该课程的目的是激励和装备学生去追求 通过扩大参与者对差异的了解来解决癌症和其他健康差异的职业 数据、问题和研究策略。
