DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since its inception in 1992, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Cancer Prevention Education: Student Research Experiences (the Program, www.cancerpreventiontraining.org) has had as its objective to provide short-term research experiences in cancer prevention research and education to students as a means to recruit them to careers in cancer prevention research. We have developed curriculum- based methods that provide new knowledge and opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students from the basic biomedical sciences, biostatistics, epidemiology, genetics, behavioral and social sciences, nursing, medicine, and related public health disciplines to conduct mentored research. Beginning with 10 positions in 1992 and increasing over time, the Program now support 25 positions annually. To date, all positions have been filled annually. The Advisory Committee reviews and selects the students based on the merit of their academic performance, educational objectives, and research interests. Students receive a stipend with limited funds available for tuition for required courses, Topics in Cancer Prevention I & II and Bio-behavioral Research Methods in Cancer Prevention and Addiction. Students deliver oral reports on their research experience at our Cancer Prevention Trainee Brown Bag seminars. The Specific Aims are to provide 25 high-performing students with 10-15-week experiences in cancer prevention annually; to cultivate faculty mentors and to recognize model mentors; to conduct innovative and effective recruitment and application processes, with particular attention to attracting a demographically diverse population; to engage the Advisory Committee in the continuous program improvement; to provide up-to-date and highly relevant multi-disciplinary curriculum in cancer prevention and cancer prevention careers; and to rigorously evaluate the Program and follow long-term career development of trainees. Several innovations are proposed: 1) launch of a personalized career exploration and development series, "Prevention Parachute;" 2) a major overhaul of the Cancer Prevention Educational Curriculum by renovating the "Topics in Cancer Prevention" series; 3) using live web conferencing with cancer prevention scientists and sister R25E programs elsewhere for enhancing engagement in new directions in cancer prevention; and 4) addition of a seminar series that showcases individuals in specific careers and their paths within the field as real-life examples for students. Overall, the Program's success takes many forms, from recruitment of a highly diverse student population, to students' development of master's theses and doctoral dissertations based on their research, to regularly taught graduate-level courses in cancer prevention, as well as the growing number of alumni who have completed training and currently hold academic positions in cancer prevention research.

描述(申请人提供)：自1992年成立以来，德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症预防中心癌症预防教育：学生研究经历(该计划，www.ancerPrevenentionTraining.org)一直以向学生提供短期癌症预防研究和教育方面的研究经验为目标，以此作为招募他们从事癌症预防研究的手段。我们开发了以课程为基础的方法，为基础生物医学、生物统计学、流行病学、遗传学、行为和社会科学、护理、医学和相关公共卫生学科的本科生和研究生提供新的知识和机会，开展导师式研究。从1992年的10个职位开始，随着时间的推移，该计划现在每年支持25个职位。到目前为止，所有职位每年都有人填补。咨询委员会根据学生的学业成绩、教育目标和研究兴趣对他们进行审查和挑选。学生得到的津贴有限，用于支付必修课、癌症预防I和II主题以及癌症预防和成瘾的生物行为研究方法的学费。学生在我们的癌症预防实习生Brown Bag研讨会上口头报告他们的研究经验。具体目标是每年为25名表现优异的学生提供10-15周的癌症预防经验；培养教师导师和表彰模范导师；进行创新和有效的招聘和申请程序，特别注意吸引人口结构多样化的人群；让咨询委员会参与计划的持续改进；提供癌症预防和癌症预防职业生涯的最新和高度相关的多学科课程；以及严格评估该计划并跟踪受训人员的长期职业发展。建议的几项创新是：1)推出个性化的职业探索和发展系列，“预防降落伞”；2)通过创新“癌症预防主题”系列，对癌症预防教育课程进行重大改革；3)利用与癌症预防科学家和其他地方的R25E姐妹项目的现场网络会议，加强对癌症预防新方向的参与；以及4)增加研讨会系列，展示特定职业中的个人及其在该领域的道路，作为学生的真实范例。总体而言，该计划的成功有多种形式，从招募高度多样化的学生群体，到学生根据自己的研究开发硕士论文和博士论文，到定期教授癌症预防研究生水平的课程，以及越来越多的已完成癌症预防研究培训并目前担任学术职位的校友。
