ABSTRACT/OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAM The primary goal of this project is to initiate a new curriculum and to build the scientific skills of HU undergraduate students with a focus on environmental and epidemiologic factors in cancer incidence, progression, prevention and treatment. A novel training curriculum in molecular epidemiology will complement a workshop course and a didactic course. This initiative builds and branches_out from an existing HU-UPCI Partnership. The key to the success of previous work conducted through this partnership was innovation in teaching of undergraduate courses by using a cooperative learning approach to learn cancer biology. The proposed HU-UPCI Education Program will develop a course and a workshop, both new multidisciplinary tools directed at students starting at the junior level, with the specific aim to teach how to translate basic science results into human studies, and how results from molecular epidemiologic studies can answer public health issues related to health disparities. The focus of the workshop, "Skills for Investigative Science," will be on students' development of scientific language skills, framing of hypotheses, critical reading of peer-reviewed journal articles, and communication skills through the public presentation of scientific information. The course, "Curriculum for Translational Epidemiology in Cancer Research," will feature lectures by HU-UPCI collaborating faculty and critical review of cancer literature on environmental epidemiology and geneenvironment interaction. These courses will be complementary with the established cancer courses. A summer research internship will be available for students who attended the courses, to test specific hypotheses on existing data bases containing both epidemiological and biological data from human studies. The program will also develop evaluative measures that will compare cancer knowledge and beliefs of students prior to and after taking the series of cancer classes and to compare career attitudes of students participating in the summer research internship. Lastly, to advance the academic agenda of this initiative, results will be published in the educational literature and R25E grants will be planned at the end of the current project to support the implementation of additional educational innovations. Completion of these goals will lead us closer to developing a national model for growing the number of minority cancer researchers, which in turn will greatly contribute to reducing cancer health disparities in minorities in America.

该计划的摘要/目标 该项目的主要目标是启动新课程并培养 HU 的科学技能 专注于癌症发病率的环境和流行病学因素的本科生， 进展、预防和治疗。分子流行病学的新型培训课程将补充 讲习班课程和教学课程。该计划是从现有的 HU-UPCI 构建和分支出来的 合伙。通过这种伙伴关系开展的先前工作取得成功的关键在于创新 通过使用合作学习方法来教学本科生课程来学习癌症生物学。这 拟议的 HU-UPCI 教育计划将开发一门课程和一个研讨会，这都是新的多学科工具 针对初级水平的学生，具体目标是教授如何翻译基础科学 结果进入人体研究，以及分子流行病学研究的结果如何回答公共卫生问题 与健康差异有关的问题。研讨会的重点是“科学研究的技能” 学生科学语言技能的发展、假设的框架、同行评审的批判性阅读 期刊文章，以及通过公开展示科学信息的沟通技巧。课程， HU-UPCI 将以“癌症研究转化流行病学课程”为特色讲座 环境流行病学和基因环境癌症文献的合作教师和批判性评论 相互作用。这些课程将与已建立的癌症课程形成补充。一个 参加课程的学生将可以参加暑期研究实习，以测试具体的 对包含人类研究的流行病学和生物学数据的现有数据库的假设。 该计划还将制定评估措施，比较癌症知识和信念 学生参加一系列癌症课程之前和之后，并比较学生的职业态度 参加暑期研究实习。最后，为了推进这一倡议的学术议程， 结果将在教育文献中发表，R25E 赠款将计划在本期结束时进行 支持实施更多教育创新的项目。完成这些目标将导致 我们更接近开发一个国家模型来增加少数族裔癌症研究人员的数量，这反过来又 将极大地有助于减少美国少数族裔的癌症健康差异。
