项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The long-term goal of the proposed program is to establish a summer undergraduate research fellowship in the molecular biology and genomics of human cancer at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM) in Farmington, CT that will support the need for enhanced education in cancer research and genomics for the future biomedical workforce. This proposed program will function as a defined cohort within the existing JAX Summer Student Program (SSP). The Jackson Laboratory is a NCI-designated Cancer Center, and JAX-GM provides a collaborative, highly innovative research environment of scientists with diverse cancer expertise that will support the following aims of this program: (1) Provide an authentic and mentored research experience. JAX-GM will recruit ten students to join a cutting-edge, collaborative research team using molecular and computational methods to investigate the etiology and evolution of human breast, ovarian, bone, and brain cancers, leukemia, cancer immunotherapy, and genome structural variation and instability. (2) Promote diversity in science. The participants will be chosen through a competitive, nationwide application process, and members of underrepresented groups will be actively recruited through targeted national outreach. Each intern will receive a full fellowship including subsistence, round-trip transportation, research supplies, and funds to offset the cost of housing. These funds will enable economically disadvantaged students to forgo summer jobs and participate in this life-changing educational experience. (3) Encourage careers in science and lifelong scientific literacy. Each participant will join a sponsoring scientist's team and will design and conduct an independent, hypothesis-driven project using advanced analytic methods and tools and the outstanding scientific resources available at JAX-GM. The cancer research fellowship program will require students to attend workshops on the ethical, legal, and social issues facing scientists today and complete pre-fellowship online prequels on cancer genomics. (4) Incorporate evaluation to strengthen the program. JAX Genomic Education staff will collect formative and summative evaluation data that will directly inform program leadership to guide future administration of the program. The JAX institutional commitment ensures student access to intellectual and research resources including on-campus courses and conferences, state-of-the-art instrumentation and computational resources, dedicated program direction by JAX Genomic Education staff, housing in a college setting, and a professionally staffed residential program. The SSP––supported by institutional funds, private foundations, and federal grants––has well-established administrative procedures for recruitment and selection, mentor training, guidance, program design, management, and evaluation. JAX-GM offers a stimulating environment in which motivated, talented students from diverse backgrounds can learn the fundamentals of scientific inquiry, contribute to real research progress, and make great strides in intellectual and personal growth that will guide them in career choices and lifelong learning.

项目概要/摘要该计划的长期目标是在以下领域建立暑期本科生研究奖学金：杰克逊基因组医学实验室 (JAX-GM) 人类癌症的分子生物学和基因组学位于康涅狄格州法明顿的该项目将支持加强癌症研究和基因组学教育的需要该拟议计划将作为现有 JAX 中的定义群体。暑期学生计划 (SSP)。杰克逊实验室是 NCI 指定的癌症中心和 JAX-GM。为具有不同癌症专业知识的科学家提供一个协作、高度创新的研究环境将支持该计划的以下目标：（1）提供真实且受指导的研究经验。 JAX-GM 将招募 10 名学生加入一个利用分子和研究人类乳房、卵巢、骨骼和大脑的病因和进化的计算方法癌症、白血病、癌症免疫治疗以及基因组结构变异和不稳定性 (2) 促进。参与者将通过竞争性的、全国性的申请过程来选择，并且将通过有针对性的全国推广活动积极招募代表性不足群体的成员。将获得全额奖学金，包括生活费、往返交通、研究用品和资金这些资金将使经济困难的学生忘记暑期工作。并参与这种改变人生的教育经历 (3) 鼓励从事科学和终身事业。每位参与者将加入赞助科学家的团队，并设计和开展一项科学素养活动。独立的、假设驱动的项目，使用先进的分析方法和工具以及杰出的科学知识 JAX-GM 提供的资源将要求学生参加癌症研究奖学金计划。关于当今科学家面临的道德、法律和社会问题的研讨会，并在线完成预奖学金 (4) 纳入评估以加强 JAX 基因组学。教育工作人员将收集形成性和总结性评估数据，这些数据将直接告知项目领导指导该计划的未来管理 JAX 机构承诺确保学生能够获得知识和研究资源，包括校园课程和会议、最先进的仪器和计算资源、JAX 基因组教育人员的专门项目指导、大学环境中的住宿，以及由 SSP 支持的专业人员住宿计划。机构基金、私人基金会和联邦拨款——拥有完善的行政程序招聘和选拔、导师培训、指导、项目设计、管理和评估。提供了一个激励性的环境，让来自不同背景、积极进取、有才华的学生可以学习科学探究的基础，为真正的研究进步做出贡献，并在智力和知识方面取得巨大进步个人成长将指导他们的职业选择和终身学习。
