项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Cancer has been a major focus of biomedical research since the war on cancer began with the National Cancer Act of 1971. Despite this focus, nearly 8 million people die of cancer each year, worldwide. To help ensure that the nations’ biomedical, clinical, and behavioral cancer research workforce remains strong, we propose the development of a Cancer-focused Summer Undergraduate Research (CanSUR) Program, to recruit highly motivated undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds and foster their excitement for a career in cancer research. The CanSUR program will support 32 undergraduate scholars each year, recruited from regional and national colleges/universities for a 10-week period, to participate in a cancer research experience with members of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC). Key objectives of the CanSUR Program are to: (1) provide each scholar with a summer cancer research experience in a Case CCC members lab; (2) foster an understanding of biomedical, cancer research career opportunities and (3) providing scientific enrichment and professional skills curriculum to help prepare them for the next step in a cancer research focused career. Four major components have been developed to meet these objectives, including an Intensive Week 1 Cancer Immersion Workshop, a series of interactive cancer research lectures on the fundamentals of cancer biology, current cancer therapies, cancer research techniques, cancer career paths and innovative 3-dimensional cancer education modules (called the HoloLens). We propose a novel 2- tier mentorship structure that includes both the primary mentor (lab leader), and a junior mentor, which will be the person in charge of the day-to-day training of the CanSUR scholar within the research environment. Beyond their individual research experience, we have developed a series of Scientific Enrichment components which address important issues in cancer research, such as developing professional habits, effective communication strategies, and an appreciation of how cancer impacts individuals and their families (using talks by patient advocates). Numerous cancer-focused career paths will be introduced, and guidance about how to prepare for the next step of a specific career path will be provided by graduate and medical school admissions directors, professionals who have achieved their cancer-related career goals, and current trainees. Given the importance of our objectives, we have been pledged significant institutional support and have 82 faculty and institutional leaders who focus on cancer education prepared to recruit and train outstanding undergraduates in this summer program. As such, we are well-positioned to convert highly-motivated undergraduates into the nation’s next cancer research workforce.

项目摘要自癌症战争以来，癌症一直是生物医学研究的重点 1971年的癌症法。尽管重点是，全球范围内将有近800万人死于癌症。提供帮助确保各国的生物医学，临床和行为癌症研究人员保持强大，我们提议开发以癌症为中心的夏季本科研究（CANSUR）计划，以招募来自潜水员背景的高度积极进取的本科生，并促进他们的兴奋癌症研究职业。 CANSUR计划每年将支持32名本科学者从区域和国家学院/大学工作10周，参加癌症研究与病例综合癌症中心成员（CASE CCC）的经验。关键对象 CANSUR计划是：（1）在CCC中为每个学者提供夏季癌症研究经验会员实验室；（2）促进对生物医学，癌症研究职业机会的了解和（3）提供科学丰富和专业技能课程，以帮助他们准备下一步癌症研究以职业为重点。已经开发了四个主要组成部分来满足这些目标，包括第1周的癌症浸入式研讨会，包括一系列互动癌研究讲座关于癌症生物学，当前癌症疗法，癌症研究技术，癌症职业的基础知识路径和创新的三维癌症教育模块（称为Hololens）。我们提出了一个小说2- 包括主要心理（实验室负责人）和初中的精神阶级训练结构，这将是负责研究环境中罐头科学培训的人。除了他们的个人研究经验外，我们还开发了一系列科学丰富组成部分哪个解决了癌症研究中的重要问题，例如养成专业习惯，有效沟通策略，以及对癌症如何影响个人及其家人的欣赏（使用谈话由患者拥护者）。将引入许多以癌症为中心的职业道路，并有关如何指导为特定职业道路的下一步做准备，研究生和医学院招生董事，专业人士，他们实现了与癌症相关的职业目标以及现任学员。鉴于我们的目标的重要性，我们得到了大量的机构支持，并拥有82位教职员工专注于癌症教育的机构领导者准备招募和培训杰出的本科生这个夏季计划。因此，我们有充分的位置将高度动机的本科生转化为国家的下一个癌症研究人员。
