Project Summary/Abstract Billions of dollars have been invested over the last decade on efforts to increase diversity in the biomedical workforce yielding limited success. Specifically, African American and Hispanic populations have seen the lowest increase in research workforce representation (NSF 2016). The City of Hope (COH) Comprehensive Cancer Center YES2SUCCESS Program's primary goal is to further develop and maintain a robust pipeline of middle and high school students (grades 6- 12) excited about biomedical research and facilitate undergraduate degree seeking students with summer cancer research experiences. Our program intends to help provide a diverse workforce of students working in underserved populations to reduce cancer health disparities. The program's primary objective is to use a multidisciplinary approach to train qualified candidates, from southern California's underserved populations, in cancer research. Students will be engaged from 6th to 9th grade in order to maintain an adequate pipeline of students for high school and undergraduate summer cancer research experiences. The YES2SUCCESS program will also support the further development of an optimal cancer health disparities research and training environment at the COH, which will reflect our community's unique population and needs. To achieve these goals, the following aims have been identified; 1). Provide a structured outreach program for students grades 6-9; 2). Provide cross-disciplinary research opportunities for students aged 16 years and above; 3). Identify and recruit outstanding racial/ethnic diverse applicants committed to cancer research; 4). Foster educational and collaborative links with school districts and undergraduate colleges and universities to provide a direct training pipeline from grade school through undergraduate programs and increase the number of researchers from underrepresented populations in cancer research. To meet this goal, we will; a). Utilize the COH's unique geographic location, which includes a regional population base comprised of a significant number of residents from underrepresented populations; b). Collaborate with southern California Universities in order to expand recruitment and research opportunities; and c). Draw upon our connections and on- going collaborations with several school districts in the San Gabriel Valley, namely, Azusa, Duarte, El Monte City, and Monrovia unified school districts; whose population base is comprised of a total of 66% underrepresented minority individuals.

项目总结/摘要 在过去十年中，已投资数十亿美元用于增加世界多样性的努力 生物医学劳动力取得有限的成功。特别是非洲裔和西班牙裔 人口中研究人员代表性的增长最低（NSF 2016）。的 City of Hope（COH）综合癌症中心YES2SUCCESS计划的主要目标是 进一步发展和保持一个强大的管道初中和高中学生（6年级- 12)对生物医学研究感到兴奋，并促进本科学位寻求学生与 夏季癌症研究经验我们的计划旨在帮助提供多样化的劳动力 在服务不足的人群中工作的学生，以减少癌症健康的差距。的 该计划的主要目标是使用多学科的方法来培养合格的候选人， 来自南加州的贫困人口，在癌症研究。学生将参与 从六年级到九年级，以保持足够的学生进入高中， 大学生暑期癌症研究经历YES2SUCCESS计划还将 支持进一步发展最佳癌症健康差异研究和培训 我们会在COH的环境，这将反映我们社区的独特人口和需求。到 为了实现这些目标，确定了以下目标：1）。提供结构化的外联 6 - 9年级学生的计划; 2）。为学生提供跨学科的研究机会 16岁及以上; 3）。识别和招聘优秀的种族/民族多元化的申请人 致力于癌症研究; 4）。促进与学区的教育和协作联系 和本科院校提供了一个直接的培训管道从小学 通过本科课程，增加来自代表性不足的研究人员的数量 癌症研究中的人群。为了实现这一目标，我们将：（1）。利用COH独特的地理位置 位置，其中包括由大量居民组成的区域人口基础 来自代表性不足的人群; B）.与南加州大学合作， 扩大招聘和研究机会; c）。利用我们的关系- 与圣盖博谷的几个学区合作，即Azusa， 杜阿尔特、埃尔蒙特市和蒙罗维亚统一学区;其人口基础由 少数族裔中有66%的人代表性不足。
