ABSTRACT “Pathways to Cancer Research” at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) is designed to meet the goals of the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute of broadening participation of diverse populations in science and thereby increasing the diversity of the scientific workforce. We will develop three interrelated educational strategies that will increase the number of underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students attracted to and retained in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) pathways as preparation for research careers: 1) For teachers, provide a multi-year mentored research experience that provides professional growth, increases understanding of scientific careers, and results in curricula that will engage students. The curricula will be designed in collaboration with staff, advisors, and FHCRC scientists, and tested with Pathways students as well as in teachers' classrooms; 2) For early high school students, develop a two-week introductory outreach program that increases the pool of eligible young students interested in science in general and cancer research in particular; and 3) For early undergraduate students, create an individualized, mentored, multi-year internship program that increases the retention of underrepresented students in STEM pathways for the purpose of pursuing cancer research careers. This program gives students a strong scientific foundation, professional preparation, and builds their identity as scientists. Our approach leverages the extensive resources of FHCRC including a large faculty of committed scientists, state of the art facilities, safe training labs, and two existing FHCRC internship programs. The two existing programs (for seniors in high school and seniors in college) have been instrumental in pointing out gaps in our educational continuum and have informed our program design resulting in a holistic, comprehensive pathway for cancer research career development.

摘要 弗雷德哈钦森癌症研究中心（FHCRC）的“癌症研究之路”旨在 满足国家卫生研究院和国家癌症研究所扩大参与的目标 科学的多样性，从而增加了科学劳动力的多样性。我们将 制定三项相互关联的教育战略，增加代表性不足的人数， 经济上处于不利地位的学生被吸引到科学、技术、工程和数学领域，并得以保留下来 （STEM）途径作为研究职业的准备：1）对于教师，提供多年的指导 提供专业成长的研究经验，增加对科学事业的理解， 产生能吸引学生的课程。课程将与工作人员、顾问、 和FHCRC科学家，并与Pathways学生以及教师的教室进行了测试; 2）对于早期高中 学校的学生，制定一个为期两周的介绍性推广计划，增加合格的年轻人的库， 对科学感兴趣的学生，特别是对癌症研究感兴趣的学生;以及3）对于早期本科生 学生，创建一个个性化的，指导，多年的实习计划，增加保留 在STEM途径中代表性不足的学生，以追求癌症研究事业。这 该计划为学生提供了坚实的科学基础，专业的准备，并建立他们的身份， 科学家我们的方法利用了FHCRC的广泛资源，包括一个致力于 科学家，最先进的设施，安全的培训实验室，和两个现有的FHCRC实习计划。两 现有的项目（高中高年级和大学高年级）已经指出， 在我们的教育连续性的差距，并告知我们的方案设计，从而在一个整体， 癌症研究职业发展的综合途径。
