项目摘要

ABSTRACT / SUMMARY Responding to community concerns related to higher cancer incidences and worse outcomes among New Mexico’s ethnically and racially diverse communities, the University of New Mexico (UNM) Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) for Cancer program was inaugurated in 2015. Since then the program has trained 45 high school (85% AI, any race) and 47 undergraduate students (51% AI, 32% Hispanic, any race) who have continued/completed their education through pursuit of college, and advanced degree programs, and are entering the scientific and health professions workforce. Cancer and inflammation associated chronic diseases (type 2 diabetes and obesity) represent disproportionate causes of morbidity and mortality among New Mexico’s populations; including people with limited economic resources, and rural residents. In response to the NCI R25 Youth Enjoy Science program call for developing a diverse biomedical workforce, the CURE for Cancer program builds on well-established experiential cancer-focused summer research internships and curricula that advance knowledge of current and emerging cancer innovations and career paths. Relevant role models and peer-networks that value cultural identity while building science identity is shown to promote persistence. The CURE for Cancer program has established networks to allow statewide and national recruitment and training of American Indian, Hispanic and other underrepresented students. Thus, the CURE for Cancer program is uniquely poised to increase the representation of American Indians and Hispanics in the sciences and address a pressing national challenge to reduce the higher prevalence of cancer among these populations. The CURE for Cancer Program Specific Aims synergize with the overarching goals of the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center and will: 1) Increase participation and persistence of students underrepresented in cancer research from the high school to the undergraduate levels through targeted recruitment, inter- programmatic connectivity, tracking and formal evaluation, 2) Encourage cancer career pursuit through specialized curricula, clinical exposure, and immersive research programs for high school and undergraduate students and 3) Engage New Mexico's rural and underserved Hispanic and tribal communities in science and health education through a Cancer-STEM Pathways Conference for middle school students and engaged youth ambassadors. Annual evaluation, student tracking and regular review by an Advisory Committee, will assess student benefit and program impact. The successful completion of these aims is expected to increase the likelihood that underrepresented populations will proceed to and graduate from college, attend graduate/professional school or work in cancer related professions. Moreover, what makes UNM CURE unique is its coupling of culturally relevant pedagogy with cutting edge cancer research training that is integrated with Hispanic and Native American community needs.

摘要 /摘要应对与更高的癌症发生率有关的社区担忧和新的结果墨西哥的种族和大致多样化社区，新墨西哥大学（UNM）继续伞癌症计划的研究经验（治疗）于2015年开幕。此后该计划已有受过培训的45个高中（85％AI，任何比赛）和47名本科生（51％AI，32％的西班牙裔，任何比赛）通过追求大学和高级学位课程以及正在进入科学和卫生职业人士。癌症和炎症与慢性有关疾病（2型糖尿病和肥胖）代表了新的发病率和死亡率的不成比例墨西哥的人口；包括经济资源有限的人和粗糙的居民。回应 NCI R25青年享受科学计划呼吁发展潜水员生物医学劳动力，这是治疗癌症的治疗方法计划以良好的专业癌症为重点的夏季研究实习和课程为基础提前了解当前和新兴的癌症创新和职业道路。相关的榜样和在建立科学身份的同时，对文化身份的重视同行网络被证明是为了促进持久性。这治愈癌症计划已建立网络，以允许全州和国家招聘和培训美洲印第安人，西班牙裔和其他代表性不足的学生。那是癌症计划的治疗方法独特中毒，以增加科学中的美国印第安人和西班牙裔的代表在这些人群中降低癌症患病率更高的国家挑战。治愈对于癌症计划，特定目标与新墨西哥大学的总体目标协同作用综合癌症中心和意愿：1）增加学生人数不足的参与和持久性通过有针对性的招募，从高中到本科水平的癌症研究编程连通性，跟踪和正式评估，2）通过高中和本科的专业课程，临床暴露和沉浸式研究计划学生和3）参与新墨西哥州的粗糙和服务不足的西班牙裔和部落社区，并参与科学和通过为中学生和敬业年轻人举行的癌症 - 茎途径会议的健康教育大使。咨询委员会的年度评估，学生跟踪和定期审查，将评估学生利益和计划影响。预计这些目标的成功完成将增加人口不足的人口将继续上大学并毕业，参加研究生/专业学校或与癌症相关专业人员的工作。而且，使Unm Cure独特的原因它是与文化相关的教学法与尖端癌症研究培训的耦合，该培训与西班牙裔和美国原住民社区需要。
