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/总结回应社区对新癌症发病率较高和预后较差的担忧墨西哥的民族和种族多元化社区，新墨西哥大学 (UNM) 的持续保护伞癌症研究经验 (CURE) 项目于 2015 年启动。此后该项目已培训了 45 名高中生（85% 人工智能，任何种族）和 47 名本科生（51% 人工智能，32% 西班牙裔，任何种族）通过攻读大学和高级学位课程继续/完成教育的人，以及正在进入科学和健康专业队伍，与癌症和炎症相关的慢性病。疾病（2 型糖尿病和肥胖）是新人群发病和死亡的不成比例的原因墨西哥人口；包括经济资源有限的人和农村居民。 NCI R25 Youth Enjoy Science 计划呼吁培养多元化的生物医学劳动力，即 CURE for Cancer 该计划建立在完善的以癌症为中心的体验式夏季研究实习和课程的基础上了解当前和新兴的癌症创新进展和职业道路。事实证明，在建立科学认同的同时重视文化认同的同伴网络可以促进持久性。 CURE for Cancer 计划已建立网络，允许司法和国家招募和培训美洲印第安人、西班牙裔和其他代表性不足的学生因此，CURE for Cancer 计划是。独特地准备增加美洲印第安人和西班牙人在科学领域的代表性并解决降低这些人群中较高的癌症患病率是一项紧迫的国家挑战。癌症计划的具体目标与新墨西哥大学的总体目标具有协同作用综合癌症中心将： 1) 提高代表性不足的学生的参与度和坚持度通过有针对性的招募，从高中到本科生的癌症研究程序化连接、跟踪和正式评估，2) 通过以下方式鼓励癌症职业追求高中和本科生的专业课程、临床接触和沉浸式研究项目学生和 3) 让新墨西哥州的农村和服务水平低下的西班牙裔和部落社区参与科学和通过癌症-STEM 路径会议为中学生和参与青年提供健康教育顾问委员会将进行年度评估、学生跟踪和定期审查。学生的利益和计划的影响预计会增加这些目标的成功完成。代表性不足的人群继续从大学毕业、就读的可能性研究生/专业学校或癌症相关专业的工作此外，是什么让 UNM CURE 独一无二。是将文化相关的教学法与尖端癌症研究培训相结合，并与西班牙裔和美洲原住民社区的需求。
