The Cancer Education Program ofthe MSM/TU/UAB CCC Partnership seeks to introduce minority students at the undergraduate level to cancer research, including research on cancer disparities, through 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. Two major efforts of the Program are: 1) Cancer Partnership Internships that will provide extensive training and mentoring to a small group of selected undergraduates, and 2) a new Health Disparities course that advances undergraduate and graduate students and other future health professionals and researchers. The TU juniors selected as Cancer Partnership Interns on the basis of potential for research success participate in two years of special activities that include a cancer research internship at a Partnership institution (UAB or MSM), presentation of research results, attendance at a national cancer research meeting, a Cancer Journal Club, a hands-on health disparities project, preparation forthe GRE/MCAT, and structured mentoring forthe transition to graduate study. The Health Disparities course, with emphasis on cancer and bioethics, is being offered at TU with review, recommendations, and guest lecturing by UAB and MSM investigators. The course is required for Cancer Partnership interns, but is open to other students. The purpose ofthe course is to motivate and equip students to pursue careers that address cancer and other health disparities by expanding their knowledge of data, issues, and research strategies that relate to disparities.

MSM/TU/UAB CCC合作伙伴关系的癌症教育项目旨在介绍少数族裔学生 在本科生一级的癌症研究，包括关于癌症差异的研究，通过培训， 辅导和课业。它的目标是增加指导资助癌症的少数族裔科学家的数量 通过促进更多的理工大学本科生进入导致癌症研究的职业道路来进行研究。 该方案的两个主要努力是：1)癌症伙伴关系实习，将提供广泛的培训 和对一小群精选的本科生的指导，以及2)一个新的健康差异课程， 进修本科生和研究生以及其他未来的健康专业人员和研究人员。这个 TU大三学生根据研究成功的潜力被选为癌症合作实习生 在为期两年的特别活动中，包括在合作机构(UAB或 MSM)，发表研究成果，出席全国癌症研究会议，癌症杂志 俱乐部，一个实际操作的健康差距项目，为GRE/MCAT做准备，并为 过渡到研究生学习。健康差异课程，重点是癌症和生物伦理学，正在 在TU提供，由UAB和MSM调查人员进行审查、推荐和客座讲座。这个 这门课程是癌症伙伴实习生的必修课，但对其他学生开放。该课程的目的是 通过以下方式激励和装备学生追求解决癌症和其他健康差距的职业 扩大他们对与差异有关的数据、问题和研究策略的了解。
