ABSTRACT Training the next generation of minority scientists is critical to eliminating health disparities. The Cancer Research Education Program (CREP) will play an important supportive role in the U-HAND (University of Houston/MD Anderson) partnership by developing the next cadre of leaders in cancer disparities. The CREP will leverage the existing strengths and resources of the University of Houston (UH) and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDA) and create new ones, training and motivating U-HAND scholars (undergraduate students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows) and early stage investigators (ESIs). The CREP will coordinate all enrichment activities, including mentored research experiences, coursework, lectures, seminars, and interactive service learning experiences in the community. The interactive service learning activities will be provided through the robust and impactful Outreach Program in the Third Ward and East End neighborhoods of Houston, which are largely black and Hispanic neighborhoods, respectively. The Outreach Program will also provide needed cancer education and services and create opportunities to engage the community in cancer research, by serving as a participant recruitment and collaboration opportunity for U-HAND scholars, faculty, and the pilot projects. The specific aims of this program are to: 1) Identify, select, train, and mentor highly qualified undergraduate and doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and ESIs from historically underrepresented groups in science for research careers focused on lifestyle-related risk factors for cancer and cancer disparities; 2) Develop a competency-based comprehensive curriculum for cancer prevention and disparities research between U-HAND partners that includes didactic coursework, seminars, and interactive service learning experiences; 3) Develop and implement a community outreach program to provide service learning experiences for U-HAND scholars and engage community members in cancer prevention education, research, and clinical trials; and 4) Systematically evaluate all CREP participants and program activities, using these data to enhance and strengthen the program over time.

抽象的 培训下一代少数族裔科学家对于消除健康差异至关重要。癌症 研究教育计划（CREP）将在U手（大学 休斯顿/MD Anderson）合作伙伴关系通过发展下一个癌症差异领导者的干部。克雷普 将利用休斯顿大学（UH）和大学的现有优势和资源 德克萨斯州安德森癌症中心（MDA），创建新的，培训和激励U手学者 （本科生，博士生和博士后研究员）和早期调查员（ESIS）。这 CREP将协调所有丰富活动，包括受过指导的研究经验，课程，讲座， 研讨会和社区中的互动服务学习经验。互动服务学习 活动将通过第三区和东部的强大而有影响力的外展计划提供 休斯顿的最终社区分别是黑人和西班牙裔社区。这 外展计划还将提供所需的癌症教育和服务，并创造机会参与 癌症研究的社区，是参与者的招聘和协作机会 U型学者，教职员工和试点项目。该计划的具体目的是：1）确定， 选择，训练和指导高素质的本科生和博士生，博士后研究员和ESIS 从历史上代表性不足的科学领域的研究职业，重点是与生活方式有关的风险 癌症和癌症差异的因素； 2）开发基于能力的癌症综合课程 U型合作伙伴之间的预防和差异研究，包括教学课程，研讨会， 和互动服务学习经验； 3）制定和实施社区外展计划 为U型学者提供服务学习经验，并让社区成员参与癌症 预防教育，研究和临床试验； 4）系统地评估所有Crep参与者和 计划活动，使用这些数据随着时间的推移增强和加强程序。
