 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Increasing the number of scientists and clinicians from underrepresented communities has been recognized as one means to help reduce the nation's cancer disparities. The Creating Scientists to Address Cancer Disparities Program (CSP) is an intensive bio-behavioral science training program designed to facilitate underrepresented community college science majors' (CSP scholars) successful transfer to UCSD and SDSU followed by their matriculation into graduate school. Transferring students begin the CSP during the summer before they transfer and continue to receive mentoring from CSP faculty throughout the remainder of their college years. The program has basic and behavioral science majors working and learning side-by-side in a public health community-based laboratory as a model of how multidisciplinary teams of bio-behavioral scientists can work together to address health disparities. CSP begins with an 8-week public health laboratory- based Summer Science Enrichment Program (SSEP). The SSEP includes seminars to give students a solid understanding of cancer and bio-behavioral issues related to the development of cancer disparities. It also includes workshops to increase participants' likelihood of successfu progression into graduate school and beyond. Students also learn a variety of hands-on research methods to use in the field, as they work within community-campus partnerships. The field experience will assure that they gain a working knowledge of how to identify, research, and resolve health disparities. This summer training is followed by continued academic training and mentoring via a required 10-month lab placement for a minimum of one academic credit in the PIs' public health laboratory. During this 12 month-long training, students will prepare and submit an abstract to present their research findings at a national scientific conference. Each CSP scholar will work with program faculty to identify other sources of support and funding to continue the scholars' laboratory experiences beyond their first 12 months. CSP will make it possible for its transferring students to access programs that are not normally accessible in transferring students' first year. This community college-focused CSP is grounded upon the literature and the team's current R25E grant that facilitates community college students' successful transfer to UCSD and SDSU. The CSP has clearly defined, measurable outcomes for assessing its success, using the same rigorous data collection and evaluation methods that were proven successful in earlier training programs.

 描述（由申请人提供）：增加来自代表性不足社区的科学家和临床医生的数量已被认为是帮助减少国家癌症差异的一种手段。创造科学家解决癌症差异计划 (CSP) 是一项密集的生物行为科学培训计划，旨在促进代表性不足的社区大学科学专业（CSP 学者）成功转学到 UCSD 和 SDSU，然后进入研究生院。转学生在转学前的夏季开始参加 CSP，并在余下的大学生涯中继续接受 CSP 教师的指导。该项目让基础科学和行为科学专业的学生在公共卫生社区实验室并肩工作和学习，作为生物行为科学家的多学科团队如何共同努力解决健康差异的典范。 CSP 以为期 8 周的基于公共卫生实验室的夏季科学强化计划 (SSEP) 开始。 SSEP 包括研讨会，让学生深入了解癌症和与癌症差异发展相关的生物行为问题。它还包括研讨会，以增加参与者成功升入研究生院及更高级别的可能性。当学生在社区-校园合作伙伴关系中工作时，他们还学习各种在该领域使用的实践研究方法。现场经验将确保他们获得如何识别、研究和解决健康差异的工作知识。今年夏季培训结束后，将继续进行学术培训和指导，并通过 PI 公共卫生实验室所需的 10 个月的实验室实习来获得至少一个学分。在为期 12 个月的培训中，学生将准备并提交摘要，以便在全国科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。每位 CSP 学者将与项目教师合作，寻找其他支持和资金来源，以便学者们在前 12 个月之后继续获得实验室经验。 CSP 将使其转学生能够参加转学生第一年通常无法参加的课程。这个以社区大学为重点的 CSP 以文献和团队当前的 R25E 赠款为基础，该赠款有助于社区学院学生成功转学到 UCSD 和 SDSU。 CSP 使用与早期培训计划中证明成功的相同严格的数据收集和评估方法，明确定义了可衡量的成果来评估其成功。
