项目摘要

This is a renewal application for years 5-10 of an experiential research training program in cancer nanomedicine for undergraduate students in STEM fields. Known as CaNCURE: Cancer Nanomedicine Co-ops for Undergraduate Research Experiences, this program was created to encourage young scientists & engineers, particularly those from underrepresented minorities, to pursue careers in cancer research. To achieve this objective, the following specific aims are proposed: 1. Provide a hands-on research experience with a focus in cancer nanomedicine through a 6-month co-op internship mentored by world-class cancer researchers at Dana- Farber / Harvard Cancer Center. 2. Provide year-round activities for co-op enrichment, including weekly seminars, instrumentation training, a reflective e-portfolio, and conference travel. 3. Provide professional preparation for a career in cancer research, including professional skills training, opportunities to network and present research, and resources to enhance career preparation. 4. Increase the diversity of the cancer research workforce by targeted recruitment and retention of students from underrepresented minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds. This renewal will support 80 undergraduate traineeships (16 per year) to be paid over 15 weeks of the 6-month research experience. New features of this proposal include: an online library of research techniques briefs for on-demand instrumentation training, research e-portfolios that allow trainee reflection within the framework of their individual development plan, new educational programming in cancer disparities and inequities, and mentoring of trainees by CaNCURE alumni. The CaNCURE program will continue to leverage Northeastern University’s model of co-operative education and Dana-Farber / Harvard Cancer Center’s vast network of cancer research laboratories to create an immersive training environment for cancer research. Our evaluation shows that CaNCURE consistently provides trainees with knowledge and skills unavailable through more conventional co-ops, as well as increases trainee interest in and their likelihood of pursuing a career in cancer research. The successful implementation of this program will continue to create a pipeline of young scientists & engineers, particularly those from underrepresented minorities, with the interest, skills, and knowledge necessary to pursue interdisciplinary cancer research.

这是癌症经验研究培训计划5 - 10年的续签应用程序纳米医学的地下学生在茎领域中被称为纳米医学：纳米医学合作社对于本科研究经验，该计划的创建是为了鼓励年轻的科学家和工程师，特别是那些从代表性不足的少数民族中，从事癌症研究的职业。目的，提出了以下具体目标：1。提供动手研究经验，重点癌症纳米医学通过了6个月的合作实习，由达纳（Dana）的世界一流癌症研究人员提出 Farber / Harvard Cancer Center。研讨会，仪器培训，反思性电子港口和会议旅行为癌症研究的职业做准备，包括专业技能培训，网络机会以及目前的研究以及增强职业预备的资源。有针对性的招聘和保留学生不受欢迎的少数民族和处境不利的学生的劳动力背景。这种续约将在15周内支付80艘地下火车该提案的6个月研究经验包括：在线研究库对按需仪器培训的技术简介，研究人员反思的研究电子港口。他们的个人发展计划的框架，癌症差异方面的新教育计划和不平等和指导学员取消校友。北欧大学的合作教育模型和达纳 - 弗拉伯 /哈佛癌中心的广阔癌症研究实验室的网络为癌症研究创造了一个沉浸式的培训环境。评估表明，取消始终为受训者提供通过更多传统的合作社，并增加了受训者的兴趣以及从事职业的可能性癌症研究的成功实施将继续创建科学家和工程师，尤其是那些具有兴趣，技能和技能和技能和少数群体的少数群体的人追求跨学科癌症研究所需的知识。
