PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the Summer Program in Cancer Research (SPCR) is to provide talented undergraduate students with a research project-based laboratory experience and exposure to different science and health disciplines working to address the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer. The Program objective is to promote careers in cancer research and clinical oncology, which is in line with the NCI mission to attract and train the best minds to become the next generation of cancer researchers. This goal will be accomplished through a formalized 10-week program during which participants will work on an individualized research project under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The MD Anderson Science Park campus in Smithville, Texas, provides a unique environment for young scientists to engage in cutting-edge research using state-of-the-art technologies while working in a park-like setting. Participating faculty members are not only committed educators but also internationally recognized experts in the fields of cancer genetics and genomics, epigenetics, DNA repair and mutagenesis, stem cells, immunology, and mechanisms of cell death and survival. Students will also gain an appreciation for other areas of cancer biology, such as viral carcinogenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis, through a Program lecture series complemented by additional lectures video conferenced from Houston designed for all summer students at MD Anderson. An appreciation for the wide variety of research being performed at MD Anderson will also be gained through field trip experiences to the MD Anderson main campus and hospital in Houston and the Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine. Students will be exposed to the variety of career options available to individuals interested in cancer research through career development lectures and a Careers in Science Panel Discussion. Students will also learn how to organize a scientific presentation, including background information, hypothesis, methods, results, and conclusions, and will hone their oral communication skills in preparation for a culminating Scientific Symposium, where students present their research projects to departmental faculty, trainees, and staff. Past programmatic evaluations demonstrate that the SPCR is an important contributor to the career development of participating students and influenced their decision and ability to pursue graduate or other training leading to careers in cancer-related research and medicine.

项目概要 癌症研究暑期项目（SPCR）的目标是培养有才华的本科生 具有基于研究项目的实验室经验并接触不同的科学和健康学科 致力于解决癌症的原因、诊断、预防和治疗。该计划的目标是 促进癌症研究和临床肿瘤学领域的职业发展，这符合 NCI 吸引和 培养最优秀的人才成为下一代癌症研究人员。这一目标将通过 为期 10 周的正式计划，在此期间，参与者将根据以下规定开展个性化研究项目 导师的监督。位于德克萨斯州史密斯维尔的 MD 安德森科学园园区提供了 为年轻科学家利用最先进的技术从事尖端研究提供独特的环境 在公园般的环境中工作时。参与的教师不仅是忠诚的教育工作者，而且 癌症遗传学和基因组学、表观遗传学、DNA 修复和 诱变、干细胞、免疫学以及细胞死亡和存活的机制。学生还将获得 对癌症生物学其他领域的认识，例如病毒致癌、血管生成和转移， 通过计划讲座系列并辅以休斯顿视频会议的其他讲座 专为 MD 安德森的所有暑期学生设计。对各种研究的赞赏 在MD安德森进行的表演也将通过MD安德森主校区的实地考察经验获得 休斯敦医院和基林比较医学中心。学生将接触到 通过职业发展为对癌症研究感兴趣的个人提供多种职业选择 讲座和科学职业小组讨论。学生还将学习如何组织科学的 演示，包括背景信息、假设、方法、结果和结论，并将磨练 他们的口头沟通技巧，为最终的科学研讨会做准备，学生们将在研讨会上展示 他们的研究项目向系里的教员、实习生和工作人员展示。过去的计划评估表明 SPCR 是参与学生职业发展的重要贡献者并影响 他们追求研究生或其他培训以从事癌症相关研究和职业的决定和能力 药品。
