项目摘要

The overarching goal of this R25 application is to enhance the diversity of the pool of individuals from underrepresented groups interested in pursuing careers in biomedical and cancer-related research by providing research experiences for high school and undergraduate students, research and curriculum development experiences for middle and high school science teachers, and outreach to middle school students, their families, and their communities. The Huntsman Cancer Institute PathMaker Programs for Cancer Research will bring exceptional cancer research training pipeline programs to Utah and the Mountain West to support the National Cancer Institute’s R25 program goal of increasing diversity of the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce. The proposed program, building on successful P30 CURE and FRTEP Supplements, will comprise three interrelated and complementary components: PathMaker Scholars, PathMaker Bridge, and PathMaker Connect. PathMaker Scholars is a mentored cancer research experience for high school and undergraduate students; PathMaker Bridge provides mentored cancer research experiences and guided curriculum development for middle and high school science teachers, providing a bridge to their students; with PathMaker Connect we will connect HCI and the two previously-mentioned groups to a specific community through an innovative outreach event. While applicants from all groups underrepresented in biomedical research will be encouraged and welcomed, recruiting efforts will focus on students who belong to one of three minority groups significant to Utah and Salt Lake City: Hispanic/Latino, American Indian or Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Hispanic/Latinos comprise Utah’s largest minority population, with 14% of the overall population and nearly 18% of the population under 18 years of age. Also, Utah is home to eight American Indian tribes or nations, and a surprisingly large Pacific Islander population including one-fourth of all Tongan Americans. These groups are massively underrepresented in biomedical research, and they face significant cancer-related health disparities. This project will be led by a team comprising a physician scientist and a basic scientist, who have relevant experience in programs to increase diversity in biomedical research careers, career mentoring, and biomedical research career training. Student research experiences will be enhanced by a rich professional preparation and community-building program. Additionally, PathMaker Bridge will partner with the internationally-recognized University of Utah Genetic Science Learning Center (GSLC) to provide an exceptional professional development program to guide teacher participants in using their research experiences to create novel curricular materials, with the potential for world-wide dissemination on the GSLC website. A professional evaluator will provide formative and summative evaluation to ensure the program achieves its maximum potential.

该 R25 应用程序的总体目标是增强来自以下国家的个体池的多样性：有兴趣从事生物医学和癌症相关研究的少数群体为高中生和本科生提供研究经验、研究和课程初中和高中科学教师的发展经验以及向中学的推广亨斯迈癌症研究所 PathMaker 计划的学生、他们的家人和他们的社区。癌症研究将为犹他州和山区带来卓越的癌症研究培训渠道项目 West 支持国家癌症研究所的 R25 计划目标，即增加生物医学的多样性，拟议的计划建立在成功的 P30 CURE 和 FRTEP 补充材料将包含三个相互关联且互补的组成部分：PathMaker 学者、 PathMaker Bridge 和 PathMaker Connect 是一种受指导的癌症研究体验。 PathMaker Bridge 为高中生和本科生提供指导性癌症研究；为初中和高中科学教师提供经验和指导课程开发，与他们的学生建立桥梁；通过 PathMaker Connect，我们将连接 HCI 和前面提到的两个通过创新的外展活动将所有群体的申请人聚集到特定社区。生物医学研究领域代表性不足的人员将受到鼓励和欢迎，招聘工作将集中于属于犹他州和盐湖城重要的三个少数群体之一的学生：西班牙裔/拉丁裔，美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民，或夏威夷原住民或太平洋岛民，包括犹他州人。少数民族人口最多，占总人口的 14%，占 18 岁以下人口的近 18% 此外，犹他州是八个美洲印第安部落或民族的家园，也是一个人口惊人的太平洋岛民的家园。人口，包括四分之一的汤加美国人，这些群体的代表性严重不足。生物医学研究，他们面临着与癌症相关的重大健康差异。该项目将由一位领导者领导。团队由一名医师科学家和一名基础科学家组成，他们在项目方面具有相关经验增加生物医学研究职业、职业指导和生物医学研究职业培训的多样性。丰富的专业准备和社区建设将增强学生的研究经验此外，PathMaker Bridge 将与国际知名的犹他大学合作。遗传科学学习中心 (GSLC) 提供卓越的专业发展计划指导教师参与者利用他们的研究经验创建新颖的课程材料，专业评估员将提供在 GSLC 网站上进行全球传播的潜力。和总结性评估，以确保该计划发挥其最大潜力。
