项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Increasing the diversity of cancer researchers and clinicians is a key strategy for finding innovative cancer control solutions and reducing cancer disparities. This Youth Enjoy Science Research Education (YES) Program will increase the diversity of University of California San Diego (UCSD) graduates who are pursuing graduate/professional training in the sciences. This YES Program is grounded on the Transformative Learning Theory and UCSD's 16 years of experience conducting UCSD's successful CURE Program. This YES Program will increase the number of women and underrepresented students from diverse scientific disciplines who are prepared for graduate school admission, with a focus on addressing cancer and cancer disparities. Specifically, YES students participate in classroom and laboratory learning activities that raise their understanding of cancer and the nation's and the world's cancer disparities. Thus, cancer disparities and how they are identified and resolved become the common theme that interconnects this YES Program's various learning activities. Students approach the issues related to cancer disparities, from the perspective of their individual laboratory training, classes and workshops, their own cultural backgrounds, community outreach events they deploy, and their chosen academic and professional pathways. San Diego's three NCI-designated cancer centers (UCSD, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute) invite the YES students to work and learn in the basic, behavioral, clinical and translational cancer research labs of their top cancer researchers. In their labs and classrooms, the YES students gain a solid understanding of cancer and the many bio-behavioral issues related to the development and exacerbation of cancer disparities and the possible resolutions. With this information and their literature review, students learn how to work on multidisciplinary teams as they develop programs to help reduce their community's cancer morbidity and mortality rates. Through these activities, students learn that, throughout their lives, they can play a role in reducing cancer disparities. To help YES students' reach their full academic, personal, and professional potential, they are also offered supplementary learning experiences, e.g., public speaking, goal setting and time management, writing, conducting literature search and synthesis skills, and experiences presenting and discussing their research work with professional and lay audiences. Students also prepare and submit abstracts to present their research findings at research symposia and national scientific meetings. Mentoring of the YES Program students, continues throughout their time at UCSD and on to graduate school. Thus, the premise of this YES program is that this learning opportunity will give the students hands-on research experiences and skills that will help them to secure admission to graduate level STEM programs and careers in cancer control research, always with a focus on reducing cancer disparities.

项目摘要/摘要增加癌症研究人员和临床医生的多样性是寻找创新癌症的关键策略控制解决方案并减少癌症差异。这个青年享受科学研究教育（是）计划将增加正在追求的加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）毕业生的多样性科学的研究生/专业培训。这个是基于变革性学习的程序理论和UCSD在UCSD成功治疗计划中的16年经验。是的计划将增加来自不同科学学科的女性和代表性不足的学生的数量为研究生院入学准备的人，重点是解决癌症和癌症差异。具体来说，是的，学生参加了课堂和实验室学习活动，以提高他们的了解癌症，国家和世界的癌症差异。因此，癌症差异以及如何他们被识别并解决成为互连该程序的共同主题学习活动。从他们的角度来看，学生应对与癌症差异有关的问题个人实验室培训，课程和讲习班，他们自己的文化背景，社区外展他们部署的活动以及他们选择的学术和专业途径。圣地亚哥的三个NCI指定癌症中心（UCSD，Salk生物学研究所和Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery 研究所）邀请学生在基本，行为，临床和转化癌症中工作和学习他们的顶级癌症研究人员的研究实验室。在他们的实验室和教室里，是的，学生会获得坚实的了解癌症以及许多与发展和加剧有关的生物行为问题癌症差异和可能的解决方案。有了这些信息及其文献评论，学生会学习如何在多学科团队制定计划以帮助减少社区癌症的计划时工作发病率和死亡率。通过这些活动，学生了解到，一生都可以玩在降低癌症差异中的作用。为了帮助是，学生的全部学术，个人和专业的潜力，还提供了补充学习经验，例如公开演讲，目标设置和时间管理，写作，进行文学搜索和综合技能以及经验与专业和外行观众介绍和讨论他们的研究工作。学生还准备和提交摘要，以在研究研讨会和国家科学会议上介绍他们的研究结果。在UCSD和研究生院的整个过程中，指导是计划的学生。因此，这个YES计划的前提是，这个学习机会将使学生动手实践研究经验和技能将帮助他们确保接受研究生水平的STEM计划和癌症控制研究的职业始终集中在降低癌症差异。
