DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since its inception in 1992, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Cancer Prevention Education: Student Research Experiences (the Program, www.cancerpreventiontraining.org) has had as its objective to provide short-term research experiences in cancer prevention research and education to students as a means to recruit them to careers in cancer prevention research. We have developed curriculum- based methods that provide new knowledge and opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students from the basic biomedical sciences, biostatistics, epidemiology, genetics, behavioral and social sciences, nursing, medicine, and related public health disciplines to conduct mentored research. Beginning with 10 positions in 1992 and increasing over time, the Program now support 25 positions annually. To date, all positions have been filled annually. The Advisory Committee reviews and selects the students based on the merit of their academic performance, educational objectives, and research interests. Students receive a stipend with limited funds available for tuition for required courses, Topics in Cancer Prevention I & II and Bio-behavioral Research Methods in Cancer Prevention and Addiction. Students deliver oral reports on their research experience at our Cancer Prevention Trainee Brown Bag seminars. The Specific Aims are to provide 25 high-performing students with 10-15-week experiences in cancer prevention annually; to cultivate faculty mentors and to recognize model mentors; to conduct innovative and effective recruitment and application processes, with particular attention to attracting a demographically diverse population; to engage the Advisory Committee in the continuous program improvement; to provide up-to-date and highly relevant multi-disciplinary curriculum in cancer prevention and cancer prevention careers; and to rigorously evaluate the Program and follow long-term career development of trainees. Several innovations are proposed: 1) launch of a personalized career exploration and development series, "Prevention Parachute;" 2) a major overhaul of the Cancer Prevention Educational Curriculum by renovating the "Topics in Cancer Prevention" series; 3) using live web conferencing with cancer prevention scientists and sister R25E programs elsewhere for enhancing engagement in new directions in cancer prevention; and 4) addition of a seminar series that showcases individuals in specific careers and their paths within the field as real-life examples for students. Overall, the Program's success takes many forms, from recruitment of a highly diverse student population, to students' development of master's theses and doctoral dissertations based on their research, to regularly taught graduate-level courses in cancer prevention, as well as the growing number of alumni who have completed training and currently hold academic positions in cancer prevention research.

描述（由申请人提供）：自 1992 年成立以来，德克萨斯大学 MD 安德森癌症中心癌症预防教育：学生研究经验（该计划，www.cancerpreventiontraining.org）的目标是提供短期研究经验癌症预防研究和对学生的教育，作为招募他们从事癌症预防研究职业的一种手段。我们开发了基于课程的方法，为基础生物医学科学、生物统计学、流行病学、遗传学、行为和社会科学、护理、医学和相关公共卫生学科的本科生和研究生提供新的知识和机会，以进行指导性研究。该计划从 1992 年开始提供 10 个职位，随着时间的推移不断增加，现在每年支持 25 个职位。迄今为止，所有职位每年都已填补。顾问委员会根据学生的学业表现、教育目标和研究兴趣来审查和选择学生。学生获得的津贴有限，可用于必修课程、癌症预防主题 I 和 II 以及癌症预防和成瘾的生物行为研究方法的学费。学生在我们的癌症预防实习生棕包研讨会上口头报告他们的研究经验。具体目标是每年为 25 名表现优异的学生提供为期 10-15 周的癌症预防经验；培养导师，表彰模范导师；开展创新、有效的招聘和申请流程，特别注意吸引人口多样化的人群；让咨询委员会参与持续的计划改进；提供癌症预防和癌症预防职业方面最新且高度相关的多学科课程；严格评估项目并跟踪学员的长期职业发展。提出几项创新：1）推出个性化职业探索与发展系列“预防降落伞”； 2) 通过更新“癌症预防专题”系列，对癌症预防教育课程进行重大改革； 3) 使用与癌症预防科学家和其他地方的姊妹 R25E 项目进行实时网络会议，以加强对癌症预防新方向的参与； 4) 增加了一系列研讨会，向学生展示特定职业中的个人及其在该领域的道路，作为现实生活中的例子。总体而言，该计划的成功有多种形式，从招募高度多样化的学生群体，到学生根据他们的研究撰写硕士论文和博士论文，到定期教授癌症预防方面的研究生水平课程，以及越来越多的学生已完成培训并目前在癌症预防研究领域担任学术职务的校友。
