PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT The long-term goal of the proposed program is to establish a summer undergraduate research fellowship in the molecular biology and genomics of human cancer at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM) in Farmington, CT that will support the need for enhanced education in cancer research and genomics for the future biomedical workforce. This proposed program will function as a defined cohort within the existing JAX Summer Student Program (SSP). The Jackson Laboratory is a NCI-designated Cancer Center, and JAX-GM provides a collaborative, highly innovative research environment of scientists with diverse cancer expertise that will support the following aims of this program: (1) Provide an authentic and mentored research experience. JAX-GM will recruit ten students to join a cutting-edge, collaborative research team using molecular and computational methods to investigate the etiology and evolution of human breast, ovarian, bone, and brain cancers, leukemia, cancer immunotherapy, and genome structural variation and instability. (2) Promote diversity in science. The participants will be chosen through a competitive, nationwide application process, and members of underrepresented groups will be actively recruited through targeted national outreach. Each intern will receive a full fellowship including subsistence, round-trip transportation, research supplies, and funds to offset the cost of housing. These funds will enable economically disadvantaged students to forgo summer jobs and participate in this life-changing educational experience. (3) Encourage careers in science and lifelong scientific literacy. Each participant will join a sponsoring scientist's team and will design and conduct an independent, hypothesis-driven project using advanced analytic methods and tools and the outstanding scientific resources available at JAX-GM. The cancer research fellowship program will require students to attend workshops on the ethical, legal, and social issues facing scientists today and complete pre-fellowship online prequels on cancer genomics. (4) Incorporate evaluation to strengthen the program. JAX Genomic Education staff will collect formative and summative evaluation data that will directly inform program leadership to guide future administration of the program. The JAX institutional commitment ensures student access to intellectual and research resources including on-campus courses and conferences, state-of-the-art instrumentation and computational resources, dedicated program direction by JAX Genomic Education staff, housing in a college setting, and a professionally staffed residential program. The SSP––supported by institutional funds, private foundations, and federal grants––has well-established administrative procedures for recruitment and selection, mentor training, guidance, program design, management, and evaluation. JAX-GM offers a stimulating environment in which motivated, talented students from diverse backgrounds can learn the fundamentals of scientific inquiry, contribute to real research progress, and make great strides in intellectual and personal growth that will guide them in career choices and lifelong learning.

项目摘要 /摘要 拟议计划的长期目标是在夏季建立夏季的本科研究奖学金 杰克逊基因组医学实验室（JAX-GM）的人类癌症的分子生物学和基因组学 在康涅狄格州法明顿，将支持增强癌症研究和基因组学教育的需求 未来的生物医学劳动力。该提出的程序将在现有JAX中充当定义的队列 夏季学生计划（SSP）。杰克逊实验室是NCI指定的癌症中心，JAX-GM 提供了具有潜水癌专业知识的科学家的协作，高度创新的研究环境， 将支持该计划的以下目的：（1）提供真实且修改的研究经验。 JAX-GM将招募十名学生加入一个使用Molecular和 研究人乳房，卵巢，骨头和大脑的病因和进化的计算方法 癌症，白血病，癌症免疫疗法以及基因组结构变异和不稳定性。 （2）促进 科学多样性。参与者将通过竞争性的，全国范围的申请过程来选择 代表性不足的团体的成员将通过有针对性的国家宣传积极招募。每个实习生 将获得完整的奖学金，包括维持生计，往返运输，研究用品和资金 抵消住房费用。这些资金将使经济不利的学生能够忘记暑期工作 并参与改变生活的教育经验。 （3）鼓励科学和终身职业 科学素养。每个参与者将加入一个赞助科学家团队，并设计和进行 使用先进的分析方法和工具以及杰出的科学的独立，假设驱动的项目 JAX-GM可用的资源。癌症研究奖学金计划将要求学生参加 当今科学家面临的道德，法律和社会问题的讲习班，并在线完成前货运前 癌症基因组学的前传。 （4）合并评估以加强程序。 JAX基因组 教育人员将收集形成性和总结性评估数据，这些数据将直接为计划领导 指导该计划的未来管理。 JAX机构承诺可确保学生进入 智力和研究资源，包括校园课程和会议，最先进的 仪器和计算资源，JAX基因组教育人员的专门计划指导， 在大学环境中的住房和专业人员配备的居民计划。 SSP –支持 机构资金，私人基金会和联邦赠款 - 已建立了良好的行政程序 招聘和选择，心理培训，指导，计划设计，管理和评估。 JAX-GM 提供一个刺激的环境 科学探究的基本原理，促进了真正的研究进步，并在智力和方面取得了长足的进步 个人成长将指导他们进行职业选择和终身学习。
