DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program is intended to support the annual participation of ten (10) academically qualified students in the Summer Program in Cancer Research (SPCR) at the University of Texas MD Anderson Science Park (Department of Molecular Carcinogenesis) in Smithville, Texas. This program provides an authentic, hands-on bench research experience for students considering careers in science, research, and health. The primary objective of the program is to prepare students to pursue careers that support nation-wide efforts to reduce cancer and enhance quality of life. Training faculty will provide mentorship to SPCR students on a daily basis for ten consecutive weeks. Through a cohesive and focused infrastructure, the program will support students in cancer research methods and techniques resulting in the development of a small, defined research project that is related to the on-going investigations of the faculty mentor. Culminating in the Scientific Symposium, the SPCR will require students to present their research project to faculty and staff on the last day of the program. Students will also participate in a weekly Cancer Research Lecture Series, a Career Development Lecture Series and a Career Panel Discussion, all of which are designed to support the promotion of self-confidence in cancer research methods and prepare students for entry into undergraduate, graduate and professional education programs that lead to careers in basic or clinical cancer research. The summer experience is augmented by field trip experiences to the MD Anderson Main Campus in Houston and the Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research in Bastrop, Texas, one of the premier primate facilities in the country. Social activities are also included to promote camaraderie between students and lab personnel as well as interpersonal communication and scientific discussion between students from different laboratories. Past programmatic evaluations demonstrate that the Summer Program at Science Park is an important contributor to the career development of participating students and has influenced their decision and ability to pursue graduate training leading to careers in cancer research.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的计划旨在支持得克萨斯州史密斯维尔市史密斯维尔的得克萨斯大学医学博士安德森科学园（分子致癌学系）的十（10）个学术资格的学生参加夏季癌症研究（SPCR）的年度参与。该计划为考虑科学，研究和健康方面的职业的学生提供了真实的，动手的研究经验。该计划的主要目的是使学生做好准备从事支持全国努力以减少癌症并提高生活质量的职业。培训教师将连续十周为SPCR学生提供指导。通过一个凝聚力和专注的基础设施，该计划将支持学生采用癌症研究方法和技术，从而开发与教师导师正在进行的研究有关的小型，定义的研究项目。 SPCR最终在科学研讨会上，要求学生在计划的最后一天向教职员工介绍他们的研究项目。学生还将参加每周一次的癌症研究讲座系列，职业发展讲座系列和职业小组讨论，所有这些讨论旨在支持促进癌症研究方法中的自信心，并为学生准备进入本科，研究生和专业教育计划，从而导致基本或临床癌症研究中的护理。夏季经验通过到休斯敦的MD Anderson主校园以及德克萨斯州巴斯特罗普的Keeling比较医学与研究中心（德克萨斯州巴斯特罗普）是该国主要的灵长类动物设施之一。还包括社交活动，以促进学生与实验室人员之间的友情，以及来自不同实验室的学生之间的人际交流和科学讨论。过去的程序化评估表明，科学园的夏季计划是参与学生职业发展的重要贡献者，并影响了他们的决策和能力进行研究生培训，从而从事癌症研究的职业。
