PROJECT SUMMARY: RESEARCH EDUCATION CORE The goal of the Meharry Medical College/Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center/Tennessee State Cancer Partnership (MVTCP) Research Education Program is to facilitate the growth and career development of a new population of outstanding underrepresented minority (URM) cancer researchers. Our current Pathway to Discovery program begins with cancer research education for high school students, continues for undergraduate Biology/Chemistry majors at Tennessee State University (TSU) and culminates with support for graduate students (PhD, MSPH and MPH) at Meharry Medical College (MMC) and TSU. The program also includes research support for medical students at MMC and Vanderbilt University (VU). This program has proven to be very successful in supporting the progression of a diverse population of students into cancer research careers. We propose to enhance the efficacy of the Pathway to Discovery program by including psychosocial resources derived from social cognitive career theory (SCCT). Research experience will engage students in the development and evolution of self- efficacy (SE) as well as a sense of being part of the scientific research community [science identity (SI)]. SCCT research shows that strong SE and SI are especially crucial to URM students entering and completing the necessary programs to pursue research careers, including cancer research. We propose a program grounded in SCCT that provides psychosocial resources and research experiences needed to develop and sustain SE and SI. MVTCP is particularly suited to target African American and Latinx undergraduate students (at TSU), graduate (at TSU and MMC) and medical students (at MMC). High school students come from two local STEM magnet schools with predominant URM student populations. To achieve our goals, we propose the following aims: 1) Provide psychosocial resources for high school (8 students, 4 juniors and 4 seniors) and undergraduate students (12 students, 3 at each level freshmen through seniors) engaged in continuous academic year and summer cancer research experiences to ensure development of SI and SE by leveraging the cancer research and support resources at our Partnership institutions. Development of SE and SI will be accomplished by providing opportunities for laboratory research and communities of practice (CoP) and a series of workshops based in SCCT. 2) Recruit and support a diverse population of graduate students (2 MPH/3 PhD students each year) who will evolve, strengthen and maintain a strong SI and SE as they engage in cancer research with the ultimate goal of enhancing the diversity of the cancer research workforce. SCCT-based workshops and resources targeted at the evolution and maintenance of SE and SI in our graduate students will be implemented. 3) Provide educational research opportunities, workshops and CoP to medical students (4 students each year at MMC/4 at VU) to ensure successful evolution, strengthening and maintenance of their SI and SE and to sustain their interest in clinical population sciences and translational cancer research with a focus on disparities.

项目摘要：研究型教育核心 梅哈里医学院/范德比尔特-英格拉姆癌症中心/田纳西州癌症伙伴关系的目标 (MVTCP)研究教育计划旨在促进新人口的成长和职业发展 杰出的代表不足的少数族裔(URM)癌症研究人员。我们目前的探索之路计划 从高中生癌症研究教育开始，继续生物/化学本科生教育 田纳西州立大学(TSU)的专业，并以对研究生(博士、MSPH)的支持为高潮 和公共卫生硕士)在梅哈里医学院(MMC)和TSU。该计划还包括对医疗保健的研究支持 MMC和范德比尔特大学(VU)的学生。该计划已被证明是非常成功的支持 不同人群的学生进入癌症研究职业的进程。我们建议加强 通过纳入来自社会认知的心理社会资源来实现发现之路计划的有效性 职业理论(SCCT)。研究经验将使学生参与自我发展和进化 功效(SE)以及作为科学研究社区的一部分的感觉[科学认同(SI)]。SCCT 研究表明，强大的SE和SI对于URM学生进入和完成 从事研究事业的必要计划，包括癌症研究。我们提出了一个扎根于 在SCCT中提供心理社会资源和研究经验，以发展和维持SE和 是的。MVTCP特别适合针对非裔美国人和拉丁裔本科生(在TSU)， 研究生(在台大和密歇根大学)和医科学生(在密歇根大学)。高中生来自两个当地的STEM 具有主要URM学生人口的磁石学校。为了实现我们的目标，我们提出了以下建议 目标：1)为高中(8名学生，4名大三和4名大四)和本科生提供心理社会资源 学生(12名学生，从一年级到大四每级3名)连续学习一年和 利用癌症研究确保SI和SE发展的暑期癌症研究经验 并在我们的伙伴关系机构提供支持资源。SE和SI的发展将通过以下方式完成 为实验室研究和实践社区(COP)和一系列研讨会提供机会 以SCCT为基础。2)招募和支持不同群体的研究生(每小时2英里/3名博士生 年)谁将在从事癌症研究时发展、加强和保持强大的SI和SE 最终目标是增强癌症研究队伍的多样性。基于SCCT的研讨会和 针对我们研究生的SE和SI的演变和维护的资源将被实施。 3)为医学生(每年4名学生)提供教育研究机会、讲习班和COP 在VU的MMC/4)，以确保其SI和SE的成功发展、加强和维护，并 保持他们对临床人口科学和转化性癌症研究的兴趣，重点放在差异上。
