项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY TITLE: USC/CHLA Summer Oncology Research Fellowship (SORF) Program for medical students Physician-scientists working in cancer research provide unique insights that are critical for continued advances in cancer therapy. There is a dire shortage of physician-scientists and their numbers continue to decline. The Summer Oncology Research Fellowship (SORF) Program at Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California (USC) and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) pro- vides a unique oncology research experience by immersing outstanding medical students of diverse back- grounds from across the United States in cancer research through mentored hands-on research projects and a cutting edge interactive educational curriculum. The goal is to encourage these motivated students to pursue a medical career that actively involves cancer research. This program, by increasing the number and diversity of students entering the physician-scientist education pipeline, is designed to address the severe shortage of such professionals, a shortage that stifles advances in pediatric and adult oncology. This highly competitive SORF Program has been continuously active for over 40 years, with demand steadily increasing: 303 students (top 5-20% of applicants) completed the Program since 2001. Of SORF graduates in the 10 years between 2001-2010, 18% are in oncological specialties and 11% are involved in research, compar- ing favorably with overall USA medical school graduates (1.98% in oncology, 0.13% in research; AAMC data). Thus, our Summer Oncology Research Fellowship Program has great potential to enhance the ‘supply’ of stu- dents who enter the pipeline leading to biomedical careers that will involve active cancer research. This Multiple-PI R25 proposal seeks support for the SORF Program to bring it to its next level by providing students with a better understanding of how science is conducted in the 21st century and interesting them in pursuing careers that involve cutting edge research related to oncology. Program activities include hands-on individual mentored research projects in adult and pediatric oncology, interactive cancer research-focused edu- cational activities, professional development in scientific communication, career development activities towards oncology research, and exposure to other trainees, scientists, physicians, patients and cancer survivors. Other goals of the program are to increase diversity of participants, provide instruction on responsible conduct of re- search, and institute short and long term follow-up to obtain feedback and outcomes data on the Program. Thus, by increasing the ‘inflow’ at the beginning of the pipeline and maintaining long-term contact with participants we anticipate to strengthen the oncology research workforce.

项目概要标题：针对医学生的 USC/CHLA 夏季肿瘤学研究奖学金 (SORF) 计划从事癌症研究的医生科学家提供了独特的见解，这对于持续进步至关重要癌症治疗领域的医生科学家严重短缺，而且其数量还在持续下降。凯克诺里斯综合癌症中心夏季肿瘤学研究奖学金 (SORF) 项目南加州大学医学院 (USC) 和洛杉矶儿童医院 (CHLA) 通过让不同背景的优秀医学生沉浸其中，提供独特的肿瘤学研究体验通过指导实践研究项目和一个来自美国各地的癌症研究领域其目标是鼓励这些有动力的学生追求尖端的互动教育课程。通过增加癌症研究的数量和多样性，积极参与癌症研究的医疗事业。学生进入医师科学家教育渠道，旨在解决此类人员的严重短缺问题专业人员的短缺阻碍了儿科和成人肿瘤学的进步。这个竞争激烈的SORF项目已经持续活跃了40多年，需求稳定不断增加：自 2001 年以来，已有 303 名学生（申请者中排名前 5-20%）完成了该项目。 2001-2010 的 10 年里，18% 从事肿瘤专业，11% 从事研究，比较受到美国医学院毕业生的普遍好评（肿瘤学毕业生占 1.98%，研究毕业生占 0.13%；AAMC 数据）。因此，我们的夏季肿瘤学研究奖学金计划具有巨大的潜力，可以增强学生的“供应”。进入生物医学职业管道的牙医，其中将涉及积极的癌症研究。该多 PI R25 提案寻求对 SORF 计划的支持，通过提供学生更好地了解 21 世纪科学是如何进行的，并引起他们的兴趣追求涉及肿瘤学相关前沿研究的职业计划活动包括实践活动。成人和儿科肿瘤学、以互动癌症研究为重点的教育方面的个人指导研究项目阳离子活动、科学传播专业发展、职业发展活动肿瘤学研究，以及接触其他学员、科学家、医生、患者和癌症幸存者。该计划的目标是增加参与者的多样性，提供负责任的行为指导搜索，并进行短期和长期的后续行动，以获得有关该计划的反馈和结果数据。通过增加管道开始时的“流入”并与参与者保持长期联系，我们预计将加强肿瘤学研究队伍。
