 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Increasing the number of scientists and clinicians from underrepresented communities has been recognized as one means to help reduce the nation's cancer disparities. The Creating Scientists to Address Cancer Disparities Program (CSP) is an intensive bio-behavioral science training program designed to facilitate underrepresented community college science majors' (CSP scholars) successful transfer to UCSD and SDSU followed by their matriculation into graduate school. Transferring students begin the CSP during the summer before they transfer and continue to receive mentoring from CSP faculty throughout the remainder of their college years. The program has basic and behavioral science majors working and learning side-by-side in a public health community-based laboratory as a model of how multidisciplinary teams of bio-behavioral scientists can work together to address health disparities. CSP begins with an 8-week public health laboratory- based Summer Science Enrichment Program (SSEP). The SSEP includes seminars to give students a solid understanding of cancer and bio-behavioral issues related to the development of cancer disparities. It also includes workshops to increase participants' likelihood of successfu progression into graduate school and beyond. Students also learn a variety of hands-on research methods to use in the field, as they work within community-campus partnerships. The field experience will assure that they gain a working knowledge of how to identify, research, and resolve health disparities. This summer training is followed by continued academic training and mentoring via a required 10-month lab placement for a minimum of one academic credit in the PIs' public health laboratory. During this 12 month-long training, students will prepare and submit an abstract to present their research findings at a national scientific conference. Each CSP scholar will work with program faculty to identify other sources of support and funding to continue the scholars' laboratory experiences beyond their first 12 months. CSP will make it possible for its transferring students to access programs that are not normally accessible in transferring students' first year. This community college-focused CSP is grounded upon the literature and the team's current R25E grant that facilitates community college students' successful transfer to UCSD and SDSU. The CSP has clearly defined, measurable outcomes for assessing its success, using the same rigorous data collection and evaluation methods that were proven successful in earlier training programs.

 描述（由适用提供）：增加了代表性不足社区的科学家和临床医生的数量已被认为是帮助减少国家癌症差异的一种手段。旨在解决癌症差异计划（CSP）的创建科学家是一项密集的生物行为科学培训计划，旨在促进代表性不足的社区学院科学专业少校（CSP Scholars）成功转移到UCSD和SDSU，然后将其矩阵随后进入研究生院。转学生在夏季开始CSP，然后在他们的剩余时间里继续接受CSP教师的心态。该计划在基于公共卫生社区的实验室中并排工作和学习的基本和行为科学专业，以此作为模型，以模型，以如何解决生物行为科学家的多学科团队如何共同解决健康差异。 CSP始于为期8周的公共卫生实验室夏季科学丰富计划（SSEP）。 SSEP包括下水道，以使学生对癌症和与癌症分布发展有关的生物行为问题有牢固的了解。它还包括研讨会，以增加参与者的成功可能性进入研究生院及以后。学生还学习各种动手研究方法，可以在该领域使用，因为他们在社区校园伙伴关系中工作。现场经验将假设他们获得有关如何识别，研究和解决健康分配的工作知识。在PIS的公共卫生实验室中，这是夏季培训，然后是通过必需的10个月实验室安置所需的10个月实验室安置，以至少一个学分的学分进行心理培训。在为期12个月的培训中，学生将准备并提交摘要在国家科学会议上介绍他们的研究结果。每所CSP学校都将与课程教师合作，以确定其他支持和资金来源，以在前12个月之外继续学者的实验室经验。 CSP将使其转学学生能够访问通常在转移学生第一年时无法访问的课程。这个以大学为中心的社区CSP基于文献和团队目前的R25E赠款，该赠款促进了社区大学生成功转移到UCSD和SDSU的文献。 CSP使用相同的严格数据收集和评估方法在较早的培训计划中被证明是成功的。
