R25 YES: Cancer Research Opportunities at Iowa

霍特曼/卢巴罗夫 摘要/摘要 代表不足(UR)的人群不太可能获得以下领域的高级学位 癌症研究。为了解决这一问题，首席调查员和 他们在爱荷华大学(UI)的同事此前已招收123名本科生(UR)。 学生在之前的16个暑期项目中。为了继续我们成功的夏天 我们正在提交NCI资助的暑期培训计划的申请 代表不足的高中生和本科生的癌症研究 体验(R25是)。拟议的计划将包括研究方法培训， 重现在杰出的研究项目，癌症生物学课程，职业咨询， 在学生完成暑期研究培训计划后的跟踪，以及社区 外展计划。我们的计划是培养本科生和高中生 鼓励他们未来参与癌症研究。我们还将接待来自这些学校的教职员工 机构让他们接触研究项目并了解发展和 加强本国机构的科学课程。我们将利用UL的 英国教育学院教育政策和领导研究系 课程的发展。拟议方案的目标包括：(A) 招收UR学生，他们通常无法进入旨在 提供了解和开展癌症研究的机会；(B)设计培训 为这些学生提供让他们接触癌症研究职业的计划；(C)提供 关于各种就业选择的职业咨询，如学术界、产业界和 政府或私营研究中心；(D)与以下机构负责人进行一对一对话 各系，跨学科研究生项目主任，爱荷华州预科主任，a 学士学位后项目、医学院招生和医学博士项目主任； (E)在培训方案的两年期间继续培训和职业咨询 以及在完成爱荷华大学的R25 YES课程后；和(F)社区 外展和延伸的指导。让代表不足的学生和教师接触 科学和研究将支持我们的目标和NCI支持癌症研究的目标 最终癌症患者的长期生存或他们的治愈通过增加数量和 从事研究的新科学家的多样性，包括临床试验。建议数 根据我们对计划的设计和我们的 过去暑期研究培训项目的成功经验。

Houtman/Lubaroff Summary/Abstract Underrepresented (UR) populations are less likely to obtain advanced degrees in the field of cancer research. In an attempt to address this problem, the Principal Investigators (Co-Pis) and their colleagues at the University of Iowa (UI) have previously enrolled 123 undergraduate (UR) students during previous 16 summer programs. In order to continue our successful summer programs we are submitting this application for an NCI-funded summer training program in cancer research for Underrepresented High School and Undergraduate Student Research Experiences (R25 YES). The proposed program will include a research methods training, emersion in an outstanding research project, courses in cancer biology, career counseling, follow-up after the students complete the summer research training program, and community outreach programming. Our plan is to train both undergraduate and high school students to encourage their future participation in cancer research. We will also host faculty from these institutions to expose them to research projects and to learn about development and enhancement of the science curricula at their home institution. We will utilize of the Ul's Department of Educational Policy and Leadership Studies in the College of Education in the development of the course. The goals or objectives of the proposed program include: (a) to recruit UR students who would not routinely have access to a program that will be designed to provide opportunities to learn about and perform cancer research; (b) to design a training program for these students that will expose them to a cancer research career; (c) to provide career counseling about the variety of employment options such as academia, industry, and government or private research centers; (d) to provide one-on-one conversations with heads of departments, directors of interdisciplinary graduate programs, directors of PREP at Iowa, a post-baccalaureate program, medical school admissions, and directors of the MD-PhD program; (e) to continue training and career counseling between the two years of the training program as well as after completion of the University of Iowa's R25 YES program; and (f) community outreach and extended mentoring. Exposing underrepresented students and teachers to science and research will support our goal and the goal of the NCI to support cancer research and ultimately long-term survival for cancer patients or their cure by increasing the number and diversity of new scientists engaged in research studies, including clinical trials. The proposed program has a strong likelihood of success based both on our design of the program and our past successes with previous summer research training programs.
