Abstract There is an under-representation of Native American professionals in cancer research and healthcare to address the cancer health disparities concentrated within the Native Nations. The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe (SRMT) shares a mission with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (Roswell Park) to cultivate a cadre of Native American cancer professionals to address the disproportionate cancer burden suffered by the SRMT community. The lack of Native American science and health professionals is attributable to lower rates of college science degree completion, like other under- represented minority (URM) counterparts. Impediments to persistence by URM students include inadequate academic preparation and feelings of self-alienation in the collegiate academic science setting. The objective of the SRMT Cancer Scholars Program is to bridge high school and college student advancement and persistence into college science majors and graduate training in science respectively, by enhancing the research, scientific, cancer literacy and “scientist” self-identification of SRMT high school and college students. To achieve this objective, SRMT high school and college students will participate in experiential education experiences in research addressing cancer and public health disparities in their own community. Students, enrolled in regional SRMT high schools, will participate in an after-school club to engage them in activity-based learning focused on cancer biology and population science fundamentals. The after-school club will culminate in a three-week research experience at Roswell Park, where they will apply principle knowledge to conducting research projects under mentorship of Roswell Park faculty. College students will participate in 10-week research experiences, to deeply study a behavioral health, biological or epidemiological cancer problem in the SRMT community with a scientist at Roswell Park. To enrich their core research experiences, SRMT college and high school students will form near-peer scholarly communities and attend culturally- attuned lectures, professional development workshops and social activities coordinated by Roswell Park's Center for Indigenous Cancer Research. Students participating in the SRMT Cancer Scholars Program will impart knowledge about the importance of cancer research and benefits of participating in research experiences in preparation for college and graduate school to their communities through presentations made at community-engagement conferences at SRMT. The SRMT Cancer Scholars Program will be evaluated on its effectiveness to inspire SRMT students' pursuit of advanced science degrees; to prepare for academic success in college and graduate school; and to develop supportive community and family environments to encourage persistence in health science careers that will serve the SRMT community.

摘要 在癌症研究和医疗保健领域，美国原住民专业人员的代表性不足。 以解决土著民族中集中的癌症健康差距。圣瑞吉酒店 莫霍克部落（SRMT）与罗斯威尔公园综合癌症中心（罗斯威尔）共享一项使命 帕克）培养一批美洲土著癌症专业人员，以解决不成比例的 SRMT社区遭受的癌症负担。美国原住民缺乏科学和健康 专业人士的原因是大学科学学位完成率较低，像其他下， 代表少数民族（URM）的对应方。URM学生坚持的障碍包括 学术准备不足与大学生学术疏离感 设置. SRMT癌症学者计划的目标是连接高中和大学 学生的进步和坚持进入大学科学专业和科学研究生培训 分别通过提高研究、科学、癌症知识和“科学家”的自我认同， SRMT高中和大学生。为了实现这一目标，SRMT高中和大学 学生将参加体验式教育的经验，在研究解决癌症和公众 在自己的社区中，健康的差距。在区域SRMT高中就读的学生将 参加课后俱乐部，让他们参与以癌症生物学为重点的活动学习 和人口科学基础。课后俱乐部将在为期三周的研究中达到高潮 在罗斯韦尔公园的经验，在那里他们将运用原理知识进行研究项目 在罗斯威尔公园学院的指导下大学生将参加为期10周的研究 经验，深入研究行为健康，生物学或流行病学癌症问题， SRMT社区与罗斯威尔公园的一位科学家。为了丰富他们的核心研究经验，SRMT 大学生和高中生将形成接近同龄人的学术社区，并参加文化- 由罗斯威尔协调的协调讲座、专业发展研讨会和社会活动 帕克土著癌症研究中心。参加SRMT癌症学者的学生 该计划将传授有关癌症研究的重要性和参与的好处的知识 在准备大学和研究生院的研究经验，他们的社区，通过 在SRMT的社区参与会议上发表演讲。SRMT癌症学者 该计划将评估其有效性，以激励SRMT学生追求先进的科学 学位;准备在大学和研究生院的学术成功;并制定支持 社区和家庭环境，鼓励坚持健康科学事业， SRMT社区
