Summer Program to Advance Research Careers (SPARC) Summary The Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC), in partnership with the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB), requests funding to address a predicted shortfall of college graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. We specifically address the need to ensure that more undergraduates, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, who start in STEM complete a STEM degree and pursue careers in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Via the proposed research education program, Summer Program to Advance Research Careers (SPARC), we will provide an innovative and engaging early research experience the summer after the first or second year of undergraduate enrollment that sparks a student's interest in science and excitement about cancer and cancer disparities research by tapping into pioneering work being done by DF/HCC and UMB investigators using emerging technologies. Annually, 35 promising students from UMB and three of its feeder community colleges (Bunker Hill, Roxbury, and Mass Bay) will be selected to participate during the summer following their first or second year. Each student will be paired with a research mentor according to the student's background and interests. Faculty mentors engaged in cancer and/or cancer disparities research using emerging technologies from the DF/HCC and UMB communities will provide full-time, hands-on emerging technology research experiences that will prepare participants to begin to successfully navigate the path to careers as cancer and cancer disparities research scientists. The 12-week program will also expose students to the decision processes and skills acquisition necessary for a successful research career. Students participating in SPARC will attend a variety of seminars beginning at orientation and throughout their research experience—these will include both formal and informal discussions on ethics and the responsible conduct of research. SPARC will focus on three areas critical to the development of successful, innovative cancer researchers: (1) acquisition of scientific knowledge in the area of cancer and emerging technologies; (2) development of communication skills; and (3) individualized career preparation. Program activities in these three areas will provide the strong intellectual, technical, and personal foundation essential for developing and implementing cutting-edge research. Participant's academic and career progress will be tracked during the experience and annually thereafter to assess the impact of the research education program on participants' interest in and preparation for cancer and cancer disparities research. 1

促进研究职业的夏季计划（SPARC）摘要 达纳 - 法伯（Dana-Farber）/哈佛癌中心（DF/HCC）与马萨诸塞大学合作 波士顿（UMB）要求资金解决预测的科学，技术毕业生，技术， 工程和数学（STEM）字段。我们特别满足确保更多的需求 本科生，尤其是来自代表性不足的背景的本科生，他们从STEM开始完成了STEM 生物医学和行为科学的学位和购买职业。通过拟议的研究教育 计划，夏季计划促进研究职业的计划（SPARC），我们将提供创新的和 在本科入学的第一年或第二年的夏天参与早期研究经验 通过窃听来激发学生对科学和癌症差异研究的兴趣 使用新兴技术由DF/HCC和UMB调查人员进行开创性工作。 每年，来自UMB的35名有前途的学生和其三所Feeer Community Colleges（Roxbury，Roxbury， 和Mass Bay）将在他们的第一年或第二年的夏季中选择参加。每个 根据学生的背景和兴趣，学生将与研究进行研究。学院 使用DF/HCC的新兴技术从事癌症和/或癌症差异研究的导师 UMB社区将提供全职，动手的新兴技术研究经验 准备参与者开始成功地导航到成为癌症和癌症分布的职业道路 研究科学家。为期12周的计划还将使学生了解决策过程和技能 成功研究职业所必需的获取。参加SPARC的学生将参加各种 从迎新开始及其整个研究经验开始的半手 - 这些都将包括正式和 关于道德和负责任的研究的非正式讨论。 SPARC将专注于三个对成功，创新癌症研究人员发展至关重要的领域：（1） 在癌症和新兴技术领域获得科学知识； （2）开发 沟通技巧； （3）个性化的职业准备。这三个领域的计划活动将 为开发和实施提供强大的智力，技术和个人基础 尖端研究。参与者的学术和职业进步将在体验期间进行跟踪 此后，以评估研究教育计划对参与者对和 准备癌症和癌症分布研究。 1
