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.

抽象的 弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心（FHCRC）的“癌症研究途径”旨在 达到美国国立卫生研究院和国家癌症研究所的目标 科学中多样性人群的多样性，从而增加了科学劳动力的多样性。我们将 制定三种相互关联的教育策略，以增加代表性不足的数量和 经济困扰的学生吸引并保留在科学，技术，工程和垫子中 （STEM）作为研究职业的准备途径：1）对教师提供多年终止 提供专业成长，提高对科学职业的理解和的研究经验 结果课程将吸引学生。该课程将与员工，顾问， 和FHCRC科学家，并与途径学生以及教师的教室进行了测试； 2）早期 学校学生，制定一个为期两周的介绍外展计划，以增加合格的年轻人 对一般科学感兴趣的学生，尤其是癌症研究； 3）对于早期的本科生 学生，创建一个个性化的，受过指导的多年实习计划，以增加保留 为了从事癌症研究职业的目的，代表性的学生人数不足。这 课程为学生提供了强大的科学基础，专业的准备，并建立了自己的身份 科学家。我们的方法利用了FHCRC的广泛资源 科学家，最先进的设施，安全培训实验室以及两个现有的FHCRC实习计划。两个 现有计划（对于高中的老年人和大学的老年人）已有发挥作用 在我们的教育连续体中的差距，并为我们的计划设计提供了信息，从而实现了整体性 癌症研究职业发展的综合途径。
