CANCER RESEARCH SUMMER INTERNSHIPS

这项提议将建立一个项目，为俄亥俄州立大学的医学生提供短期的研究经验。它旨在为30名学生提供为期8周的夏季癌症研究体验。10名预科医学生和20名一年级医学生与OSU-CCC的研究人员一起工作。该计划旨在培养他们将癌症研究作为职业的兴趣，为他们提供对最新科学发现及其与临床环境的相关性的洞察，并为他们提供由CCC教员提供的一对一指导。除了实践研究体验，学生们还将参加午餐时间系列研讨会，由来自美国各地的顶尖癌症研究人员讲授。这些研讨会将向学生介绍各种癌症专业的最新研究发现和技术。在暑期结束时，学生们将在暑期研究海报日展示他们的工作成果。海报日将为他们提供一个机会，了解更多关于CCC内部的其他研究。学生需要参加各自实验室的会议和研讨会。此外，任何研究成果被接受在科学会议上发表的学生都可以申请旅行津贴。这个项目旨在让医学生接触到癌症研究的许多方面，包括临床和基于实验台的研究，在俄亥俄州立大学-CCC的独特环境中。医学生将参与研究项目，参加讲座和研讨会，并被支持在国家科学会议上展示他们的研究。那些参加第二个暑期的学生(前一年的预科学生)将作为新参与者的导师，为该计划提供重要的指导组成部分。招募参与者将把重点放在吸引代表人数不足的少数族裔学生参加该计划。最后，我们将实施一个长期跟踪系统来衡量暑期经历对职业选择和研究参与的影响，这将量化这个项目对职业决策和实践偏好的长期影响。

This proposal would establish a program to provide short research experiences for Ohio State University medical students. It is designed to provide 30 students with an 8-week, summer cancer research experience. Ten prematriculated medical students and twenty first-year medical students to work with researchers in the OSU-CCC. The program is designed to cultivate their interest in cancer research as a career, to provide them with insight into the latest scientific discoveries and their relevance to the clinical setting and to furnish them with one-on-one mentoring by CCC faculty. In addition to the hands-on research experience, students will also attend a lunchtime seminar series, featuring lectures by leading cancer researchers from all over the U.S. These seminars will introduce the students to the latest research discoveries and technologies in a variety of cancer specialties. At the end of the summer, students will present the results of their work in a Summer Research Poster Day. Poster Day will provide them with an opportunity to learn more about other research within the CCC. Students are expected to participate in meetings and seminars in their individual labs. Furthermore, any students whose research is accepted for presentation at a scientific meeting may apply for a travel stipend. This program is intended to expose medical students to the many facets of cancer research, both clinical and bench-based, within the unique environment of the OSU-CCC. The medical students will participate in research projects, attend lectures and seminars and be supported to present their research at national scientific meetings. Those students who participate for a second summer (prematriculated students from the previous year) will act as mentors to incoming participants, providing an important mentoring component to the program. Recruitment of participants will place an emphasis on attracting underrepresented and minority students to the program. Lastly, we will implement a long-term tracking system to measure the impact of the summer experience on career choices and research participation, which will quantify the long-term impact of this program on career decisions and practice preferences.
