PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Over the past nine years, the Hillman Cancer Center (HCC) at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) has trained and mentored 134 high school students from underrepresented minority (URM) groups and economically disadvantaged (DA) backgrounds hailing from over 60 high schools. Our newly proposed Hillman Academy will expand the successes of our current program, which is funded under the expiring Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences to the HCC and was recognized in 2014 with the Carnegie Science Center Leadership in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education Award. Our past participants performed research over a wide range of cancer topics at six research sites across the campus under the tutelage of 106 faculty members who supported our students as hosts and mentors. Our alumni have won numerous scholarships and awards, coauthored manuscripts, presented at national scientific conferences, and continued research both with us and at the top institutions that they now attend. Ninety-three percent of our alumni with known and declared undergraduate majors matriculated into science- and healthcare-related areas of study. We aim to continue these successes with an expanded program to reach even more URM/DA students—24 per year—to increase the diversity and preparedness of the cancer workforce through a multi-modal approach that includes immersive research experiences, didactic training with tailored curricula, and professional and academic development. We will also lead a number of outreach activities in our region to raise awareness of cancer, cancer disparities, and cancer research through our collaborations with long-standing community partners, such as the Fund for the Advancement of Minorities through Education, MPowerhouse, Inc., and the Homeless Children’s Education Fund. These efforts will grow out of the Hillman Academy to engage URM/DA students at earlier stages, as well as, their schools and other community members. Together, the Hillman Academy will engage, train, and provide paths for URM/DA youth to advance cancer research and care. Our leadership, infrastructure, mentors, and experience of running a holistic research training program position us for lasting success in this endeavor. We will build on our previous accomplishments of promoting the pursuit of STEM education and careers for our students and continue to address cancer disparities by equipping URM/DA youth to be agents of change that impact their communities.

项目总结/摘要 在过去的九年里，匹兹堡大学医学中心的希尔曼癌症中心（HCC） （UPMC）培训和指导了134名来自代表性不足的少数民族（URM）群体的高中生 来自60多所高中的经济上处于不利地位的学生。我们新提出的 希尔曼学院将扩大我们目前的计划，这是根据即将到期的资助的成功 继续研究经验的HCC伞，并在2014年与卡内基 科学中心STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）教育奖领导力。 我们过去的参与者在六个研究地点对广泛的癌症主题进行了研究。 在106名教职员工的指导下，我们的学生作为东道主和导师。我们 校友们赢得了无数的奖学金和奖项，共同撰写的手稿，在国家科学 会议，并继续与我们和他们现在参加的顶级机构进行研究。九十三 我们的校友与已知的和宣布的本科专业录取到科学的百分比-和 医疗保健相关的研究领域。我们的目标是继续这些成功与扩大计划，以达到 更多的URM/DA学生-每年24名-以增加癌症的多样性和准备 通过多模式的方法，包括沉浸式的研究经验，教学培训， 量身定制的课程，以及专业和学术发展。我们还将领导一些外联活动， 在我们地区的活动，以提高对癌症，癌症差异和癌症研究的认识，通过我们的 与长期的社区伙伴合作，如促进少数群体发展基金 通过教育，MPowerhouse，Inc.，和无家可归儿童教育基金。这些努力将越来越多 从希尔曼学院出来，让URM/DA的学生在早期阶段，以及他们的学校和其他 社区成员。希尔曼学院将共同参与，培训，并为URM/DA青年提供途径 to advance推进cancer癌症research研究and care护理.我们的领导力、基础设施、导师和运营 整体研究培训计划使我们能够在这一奋进中取得持久的成功。我们将建立在我们以前的 促进我们的学生追求STEM教育和职业的成就，并继续 通过使城市风险管理/发展援助青年成为影响其社区的变革推动者，解决癌症差异问题。
