项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the University of Minnesota Cancer Research, Education and Training Experience (CREATE) program is to train, motivate and prepare the next generation of cancer biology researchers in order to accelerate the reduction of cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality. The CREATE program is an integrated residential 10 week summer research experience that motivates and/or affirms student interest in pursuing a research career, and provides students with foundational skills required for entry into and success in a graduate or MD/PhD program. The foundation of our program is the completion of an independent cancer biology research project under the mentorship of a University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center faculty member. We enrich this research experience with regular group meetings to discuss research and develop presentation skills, introduction to core concepts in cancer biology, emerging cancer biology research topics and cancer research career pathways, and the development of professional skills critical for admission to and success in a graduate program. Based on our ability to recruit a talented and diverse cohort of students, and outstanding student outcomes in the initial funding period, we are requesting continued support for the CREATE program. We will recruit 18 students each year, with 6 students participating in a novel “MSTP track” where students will be mentored by a physician scientist and participate in additional MD/PhD-specific enrichment activities. The rationale for this new track is based on success with a pilot in the previous funding period, and the need to increase and diversify the physician scientist pipeline. For all CREATE students, we have used our evaluation results to revise our cancer biology-specific activities, provide mentor training to all program participants, and focus our professional development activities on supporting and enhancing mentoring relationships, writing personal statements and interviewing. New initiatives in our diversity recruitment plan will allow us to continue to recruit a high percentage of students from underrepresented backgrounds. The CREATE program benefits from strong partnerships with the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center and the Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/PhD). We work extensively with the Life Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Programs, a long-standing umbrella organization that coordinates the activities of several distinct summer research programs at Minnesota. This relationship enhances our recruitment efforts, maximizes administrative efficiencies, and provides additional enrichment activities that complement and enhance CREATE. Continuous quality improvement driven by our evaluation plan will allow us to continue to enhance the student experience and positively impact short-term and long-term measures of success.

项目摘要明尼苏达大学癌症研究，教育和培训经验（创造）的目标计划是训练，激励和准备下一代癌症生物学研究人员，以便加快癌症发病率，发病率和死亡率的降低。创建程序是一个集成的住宅10周的夏季研究经验，动机和/或确认学生对追求的兴趣研究职业，并为学生提供进入和成功所需的基本技能研究生或医学博士/博士课程。我们计划的基础是完成独立癌症明尼苏达大学共济会癌症中心教师的生物学研究项目成员。我们通过常规小组会议丰富了这一研究经验，以讨论研究和发展演讲技巧，癌症生物学核心概念简介，新兴癌症生物学研究主题和癌症研究职业途径，以及入学至关重要的专业技能的发展和研究生课程的成功。基于我们招募有才华和多样化的学生的能力，在最初的资助期内，出色的学生成绩，我们要求继续支持创建程序。我们每年将招募18名学生，有6名学生参加了一本小说的“ MSTP曲目” 体育科学家将考虑学生并参加其他MD/PHD特定的地方丰富活动。这条新曲目的基本原理是基于以前的资助的成功的成功时期，以及增加和多样化物理科学家管道的需求。对于所有创建学生，我们使用我们的评估结果来修改我们的癌症生物学特定活动，为所有人提供心理培训计划参与者，并将我们的专业发展活动集中在支持和增强上指导人际关系，写个人陈述和面试。我们多样性的新举措招聘计划将使我们能够继续招募来自代表性不足的学生的高分子背景。与明尼苏达大学建立牢固合作伙伴关系，创建计划受益共济会癌症中心和医学科学家培训计划（MD/PHD）。我们与生命科学夏季本科研究计划，这是一个长期存在的伞组织协调明尼苏达州的几项夏季研究计划的活动。这种关系加强我们的招聘工作，最大化行政效率，并提供额外的充实补充和增强创造的活动。我们的评估驱动的持续质量改进计划将使我们能够继续增强学生的体验，并对短期和长期产生积极影响成功的度量。
