DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Increasing the number of scientists and clinicians from underrepresented communities has been recognized as one means to help address the nation's cancer disparities. The Creating Scientists to Address Cancer Disparities (CSACD) program is an intensive 12-month laboratory-based bio-behavioral training program designed to facilitate underrepresented community college science majors' successful transfer to UCSD and then on to graduate school. Students participate in CSACD during their final year at community college. The program places basic and behavioral science majors side-by-side in the laboratory where they learn basic laboratory research methods appropriate for both disciplines to understand. The didactic training that accompanies the laboratory training focuses on providing participants with a solid understanding of cancer and bio-behavioral issues related to the development of cancer disparities. With this approach, the program leaders create a model for students of how multidisciplinary teams of bio-behavioral scientists can work together to address health disparities. CSACD includes an 8- week summer laboratory-based enrichment program with seminars and workshops on cancer and cancer disparities and professional development. This training is followed by a 10-month placement in the laboratory of a faculty mentor cancer researcher. On-going support and training are provided beginning with the summer program and throughout the 10 months of laboratory training via the use of an educational Wiki that provides students with an Internet-based, interactive social support network along with the online training. By the conclusion of the training program, most students will be nearing the point of their transfer to UCSD. Training program faculty will work with students and their faculty mentors to identify other sources of support and funding to continue the students' laboratory training, including UCSD's programs and NIH diversity supplements. While these UCSD science enrichment programs are open to all upperclassmen, the deadlines for applying to these programs make it impossible for transferring students to gain entry to them in the same year that they transfer. CSACD will make it possible for its transferring students to access these programs. This community college-focused CSACD program is grounded upon the literature and the team's prior mentoring experiences with incoming UCSD freshmen and community college graduates who had already transferred to UCSD. The CSACD program has five clearly defined aims. Multiple outcomes have been identified to measure whether the aims have been accomplished, using the same rigorous data collection and evaluation methods that were proven successful in earlier training programs.

描述(由申请人提供)：增加来自代表性不足社区的科学家和临床医生的数量已被认为是帮助解决国家癌症差距的手段之一。创建科学家以解决癌症差异(CSACD)计划是一个为期12个月的强化实验室生物行为培训计划，旨在帮助未被充分代表的社区大学理科专业的学生成功转到加州大学圣迭戈分校，然后再进入研究生院。学生在社区大学的最后一年参加CSACD。该计划将基础科学和行为科学专业的学生并排安排在实验室，在那里他们学习适合这两个学科理解的基本实验室研究方法。伴随实验室培训的说教培训侧重于向参与者提供关于癌症和与癌症差异发展相关的生物行为问题的坚实理解。通过这种方法，项目负责人为学生创建了一个模型，让学生了解生物行为科学家的多学科团队如何合作解决健康差距问题。CSACD包括一个为期8周的以实验室为基础的夏季充实计划，包括关于癌症和癌症差异以及专业发展的研讨会和研讨会。培训结束后，一名癌症研究人员的教师导师将在实验室工作10个月。持续的支持和培训从暑期计划开始，通过使用教育维基在整个10个月的实验室培训中提供，该维基为学生提供基于互联网的互动社会支持网络以及在线培训。到培训计划结束时，大多数学生将接近转入加州大学圣迭戈分校的临界点。培训项目教职员工将与学生和他们的教师导师合作，寻找其他支持和资金来源，以继续学生的实验室培训，包括加州大学圣迭戈分校的项目和NIH多样性补充。虽然这些加州大学圣迭戈分校的科学丰富项目对所有高年级学生开放，但申请这些项目的截止日期使得转学的学生不可能在转学的同一年进入他们的学校。CSACD将使其转学学生能够访问这些项目。这一以社区大学为重点的CSACD项目基于文献和团队先前对即将入学的UCSD新生和已经转学到UCSD的社区大学毕业生的指导经验。CSACD计划有五个明确的目标。已经确定了多种结果来衡量目标是否已经实现，使用在早期培训计划中被证明成功的相同的严格数据收集和评估方法。
