DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Claflin University is located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, about 35 miles from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia (USC-SOM) and the South Carolina Cancer Center (SCCC). Claflin University was the first among the HBCU to start a Center for Biotechnology, called the South Carolina Center for Biotechnology or the SCCBT. The SCCC, a research partnership between the University of South Carolina (USC) and the Palmetto Richland Memorial Hospital (PRMH), includes basic and clinical cancer researchers with faculty appointments at the Schools of Medicine and of Public Health, and the Colleges of Pharmacy, Science and Mathematics, and Nursing. The PIs from the SCCC, Drs. Creek and Pirisi-Creek, have been active members of the cancer center since its inception. Currently, they direct an active research group in the area of cervical cancer. This application focuses on two targeted areas: 1. Developing a collaborative Cancer Research Training Program (CRTP) between Claflin University and the SCCC, targeting minority junior undergraduate students at Claflin University (10 rising juniors/year). A. The CRTP will involve full-time, 15-month internship cancer research training in the laboratories of SCCC scientists during the junior and senior years. Students will be required to write and defend a senior thesis at the end of their internship. B. Summer rotations in two highly regarded clinical cancer research facilities the Medical College of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, and The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Students will have the opportunity to be exposed to the entire spectrum of clinical cancer research activities the summer after they graduate, and also before beginning their M.S. studies. C. Specific courses designed to build a strong background for basic cancer research training, and further graduate education at the M.S. and Ph.D. levels. D. A seminar series including outside speakers that represents the forefront of cancer research and hosted at the SCCC Students will have the opportunity to attend and present their work at national scientific meetings. 2. Developing two collaborative research projects between Claflin University and the SCCC, retaining high probability to be competitive for NIH funding. The PIs of these projects will be Dr. Omar Bagasra of Claflin University, and Dr. Kim E. Creek of the SCCC.

描述（由申请人提供）克拉夫林大学位于南卡罗来纳州的奥兰治堡，距哥伦比亚南卡罗来纳大学医学院（USC-SOM）和南卡罗来纳州癌症中心（SCCC）约35英里。 克拉夫林大学（Claflin University）是HBCU中的第一个成立生物技术中心，即南卡罗来纳州生物技术中心或SCCBT中心。 SCCC是南卡罗来纳大学（USC）与Palmetto Richland纪念医院（PRMH）之间的研究合作伙伴关系，包括医学院和公共卫生学院的基本和临床癌症研究人员，以及药房，科学和数学和护理学院。 SCCC的PI，博士。自成立以来，Creek和Pirisi-Creek一直是癌症中心的活跃成员。 目前，他们指导宫颈癌领域的一个活跃研究小组。 该申请重点是两个目标领域： 1。在克拉夫林大学和SCCC之间制定合作癌症研究培训计划（CRTP），该计划针对克拉夫林大学（10名崛起的大三学生/年）的少数族裔初中生。 答：CRTP将在大三和大四时在SCCC科学家实验室进行全日制，15个月的实习癌症研究培训。 学生将被要求在实习结束时写和捍卫高级论文。 B.两个备受推崇的临床癌症研究机构的夏季轮换威斯康星州密尔沃基医学院和克利夫兰诊所基金会。 学生将有机会在毕业后的夏天和开始其M.S.研究。 C.旨在为基本癌症研究培训的强大背景的特定课程，并在M.S.和博士水平。 D.一个研讨会系列，其中包括代表癌症研究最前沿的外部演讲者，并在SCCC学生中主持的将有机会参加和介绍他们在国家科学会议上的工作。 2。在克拉夫林大学和SCCC之间开发了两个合作研究项目，保留了NIH资金竞争力的很高可能性。 这些项目的PI将是Claflin University的Omar Bagasra博士和SCCC的Kim E. Creek博士。
