项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the University of Minnesota Cancer Research, Education and Training Experience (CREATE) program is to train, motivate and prepare the next generation of cancer biology researchers in order to accelerate the reduction of cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality. The CREATE program is an integrated residential 10 week summer research experience that motivates and/or affirms student interest in pursuing a research career, and provides students with foundational skills required for entry into and success in a graduate or MD/PhD program. The foundation of our program is the completion of an independent cancer biology research project under the mentorship of a University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center faculty member. We enrich this research experience with regular group meetings to discuss research and develop presentation skills, introduction to core concepts in cancer biology, emerging cancer biology research topics and cancer research career pathways, and the development of professional skills critical for admission to and success in a graduate program. Based on our ability to recruit a talented and diverse cohort of students, and outstanding student outcomes in the initial funding period, we are requesting continued support for the CREATE program. We will recruit 18 students each year, with 6 students participating in a novel “MSTP track” where students will be mentored by a physician scientist and participate in additional MD/PhD-specific enrichment activities. The rationale for this new track is based on success with a pilot in the previous funding period, and the need to increase and diversify the physician scientist pipeline. For all CREATE students, we have used our evaluation results to revise our cancer biology-specific activities, provide mentor training to all program participants, and focus our professional development activities on supporting and enhancing mentoring relationships, writing personal statements and interviewing. New initiatives in our diversity recruitment plan will allow us to continue to recruit a high percentage of students from underrepresented backgrounds. The CREATE program benefits from strong partnerships with the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center and the Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/PhD). We work extensively with the Life Sciences Summer Undergraduate Research Programs, a long-standing umbrella organization that coordinates the activities of several distinct summer research programs at Minnesota. This relationship enhances our recruitment efforts, maximizes administrative efficiencies, and provides additional enrichment activities that complement and enhance CREATE. Continuous quality improvement driven by our evaluation plan will allow us to continue to enhance the student experience and positively impact short-term and long-term measures of success.

项目概要明尼苏达大学癌症研究、教育和培训体验 (CREATE) 的目标该计划旨在培训、激励和准备下一代癌症生物学研究人员，以便 CREATE 计划是一项综合性计划，旨在加速降低癌症发病率、发病率和死亡率。为期 10 周的夏季住宿研究经验，激发和/或肯定学生追求研究的兴趣研究生涯，并为学生提供进入并取得成功所需的基础技能研究生或医学博士/博士课程的基础是完成独立的癌症课程。明尼苏达大学共济会癌症中心教员指导下的生物学研究项目我们通过定期小组会议讨论研究和开发来丰富研究经验。演讲技巧、癌症生物学核心概念介绍、新兴癌症生物学研究主题和癌症研究的职业道路，以及对入学和癌症研究至关重要的专业技能的发展基于我们招募才华横溢且多元化的学生群体的能力，以及在最初的资助期间学生取得了出色的成绩，我们请求继续支持 CREATE项目每年招收18名学生，其中6名学生参加新颖的“MSTP赛道”。学生将接受医学科学家的指导并参加其他医学博士/博士特定的课程这一新轨道的基本原理是基于先前资助的试点的成功。时期，以及增加和多样化医师科学家管道的需要对于所有 CREATE 学生，我们。使用我们的评估结果来修改我们的癌症生物学特定活动，为所有人提供导师培训计划，并将我们的专业发展活动重点放在支持和加强指导关系、撰写个人陈述和面试。招聘计划将使我们能够继续从代表性不足的学生中招收高比例的学生 CREATE 项目受益于与明尼苏达大学的牢固合作关系。共济会癌症中心和医学科学家培训计划（MD/PhD）我们主要与生命科学暑期本科生研究计划，一个长期存在的伞式组织，协调明尼苏达州几个不同的夏季研究项目的活动。加强我们的招聘工作，最大限度地提高管理效率，并提供额外的丰富内容由我们的评估驱动的持续质量改进的活动。计划将使我们能够继续增强学生体验并对短期和长期产生积极影响成功的衡量标准。
