项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT This application, entitled “Student Transformative Experiences to Progress Underrepresented Professionals” (STEP-UP) for cancer prevention, is a multidisciplinary initiative led by the Cancer Prevention and Control and Health Disparities Programs' faculty at the University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center. It is uniquely designed to provide 55 undergraduate and 54 Masters' degree seeking students with an intensive, 12-week summer research experience in cancer prevention and control. Educational pedagogy will inform on our methodology in order to assure students receive the quality research experience that not only will increase understanding, but also will motivate students toward a continued educational commitment to advance in cancer prevention and control sciences. The emphasis in training will be largely within the clinical trials to community-based participatory research end of translational research, yet offering students 2 week-long immersion opportunities to experience cancer prevention and control science across the entire continuum of basic to applied and even dissemination research. Over 35 faculty members from diverse disciplines who are funded in cancer prevention and control research are committed to this program. The program fills a gap in our web of training opportunities for underrepresented students and yet builds on a substantial foundation of purpose-driven efforts at the UA and the Arizona Cancer Center to attract and retain a diverse student body in cancer prevention and control research. Importantly, this effort leverages our international reputation in cancer prevention research. Our specific aims include: 1. Recruit undergraduate and Master's level graduate students from URM into the STEP-UP in cancer prevention 12-week summer experiential cancer prevention and control research training; 2. Provide an integrated, innovative, multidisciplinary educational experience in cancer prevention and control research that strengthens self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation to become a cancer prevention and control scientist; 3. Support mentoring and professional relationships with scientists, research programs and community partners; 4. Conduct formative and summative evaluations to improve the program over time. The training program is centralized in Southern Arizona and offers experiential learning within our unique catchment area which is rich in diversity relative to ethnicity (30.7% Hispanic), race (5.8% Native Americans) and age (16.4% over age 65 years). This distinctive location, strong community ties, university facilities and resources for research and education, as well as committed and experienced faculty mentors and program leaders, assures a quality program that will impact the diversity, competence and commitment of the cancer prevention and control workforce of the future.

项目摘要 /摘要该应用程序名为“学生变革性的经验，以进步代表性不足的专业人员” （升级）预防癌症是由癌症预防和控制和亚利桑那大学综合癌症中心的健康差异计划的教师。它是独特的旨在提供55个本科生和54个硕士学位，以培训为12周，大量，12周夏季预防癌症预防和控制方面的研究经验。教育教学法将告知我们为了确保学生获得高质量的研究经验，不仅会增加理解，但也将激励学生朝着持续的教育承诺前进预防癌症和控制科学。培训的重点将主要是在临床试验中基于社区的参与研究终结了转化研究的终结，但为学生提供了2周沉浸于体验预防癌症和控制科学的机会基础应用甚至传播研究。来自潜水学科的35多名教职员工在癌症预防和控制研究中资助。该计划致力于该计划。该程序填补了我们的空白为代表性不足的学生提供培训机会的网络，但以实质性的基础为基础在UA和亚利桑那癌症中心的目的驱动努力，以吸引和保留多元化的学生团体预防癌症和控制研究。重要的是，这项努力利用了我们在癌症领域的国际声誉预防研究。我们的具体目标包括：1。招募本科生和硕士学位的研究生从URM到预防癌症的升级12周夏季经历了癌症预防和控制研究培训； 2。提供癌症的综合，创新，多学科的教育经验预防和控制研究能够增强自我效能感和成为癌症的内在动机预防和控制科学家； 3。支持与科学家，研究的心理和专业关系计划和社区合作伙伴； 4.进行形成性和总结性评估以改善程序随着时间的推移。培训计划是在亚利桑那州南部集中的，并在我们的内部提供了专家学习相对于种族（30.7％的西班牙裔），种族（5.8％本地人美国人）和年龄（65岁以上的年龄16.4％）。这个独特的位置，牢固的社区关系，大学研究和教育的设施和资源，以及致力于和经验丰富的教师导师和计划负责人假设一项质量计划将影响影响的多样性，能力和承诺预防癌症的未来劳动力。
