Project Summary. In New Jersey, there are significant cancer disparities across population groups that are also underrepresented in the cancer research and healthcare workforce. To reduce cancer inequities there is a need to train youth from disparate population groups to pursue cancer research and healthcare careers. The goal of this program at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (RCINJ) is to increase the diversity of the biomedical, specifically cancer research workforce. To achieve this goal, we will: 1) provide mentored cancer research experience and curriculum development support to high school teachers working with students from underrepresented backgrounds; 2) engage high school and undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds in mentored hands-on cancer research, co-curricular and professional career development activities; and 3) develop innovative cancer related outreach activities that connect program participants with schools and families in their communities. Cohorts of science teachers will engage in mentored cancer research for eight weeks each for two consecutive summers (sixteen weeks total). Experts in curriculum development will support teachers in developing novel instructional approaches that are related to their research experience. Cohorts of students will have the opportunity to conduct mentored cancer research for ten weeks each for two consecutive summers (twenty weeks total). Students will receive co-curricular and professional development support throughout their research experience. Participants will engage in research and program related activities for 3 months per year for two years. We will recruit program participants from all over New Jersey with special emphasis on school districts with high percentages of students from underrepresented backgrounds. Faculty members with active, well-funded research programs and extensive mentoring experience will support participants. Experienced leadership team with track-record of developing, implementing and evaluating pipeline programs for students from underrepresented backgrounds, will ensure successful implementation of the program. Both formative and summative evaluation by an external evaluator will be integral parts of the proposed program. We will annually track the educational and professional activities of trainees for at least 15 years after completing research training. We will disseminate results from the comprehensive evaluation on the program web site. Additional dissemination will occur through articles published in peer-reviewed journals and through presentations at regional and national conferences, by program staff as well as participants. Our program will leverage the multi-disciplinary research environment, robust educational and outreach resources of RCINJ, the state’s only NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Synergistic collaborations with similar initiatives across Rutgers will ensure that the program succeeds in training the next generation of a diverse cancer research and healthcare workforce.

项目摘要 在新泽西州，不同人群的癌症患病率存在​​显着差异。 癌症研究和医疗保健人员中的代表性也不足。 需要培训来自不同人群的年轻人从事癌症研究和医疗保健职业。 新泽西州罗格斯癌症研究所 (RCINJ) 该项目的目标是增加癌症的多样性 为了实现这一目标，我们将： 1) 提供受指导的癌症研究人员。 为与来自以下国家的学生一起工作的高中教师提供研究经验和课程开发支持 2) 吸引来自弱势背景的高中生和本科生； 具有受指导的癌症实践研究、课外活动和职业生涯发展背景 活动；3) 开展创新的癌症相关外展活动，将项目参与者与 学校和社区的家庭将参与癌症指导。 连续两个暑假各进行八周的研究（课程专家总共十六周）。 发展将支持教师开发与其自身相关的新颖的教学方法 研究经验。学生群体将有机会进行指导性的癌症研究。 连续两个暑假各十周（总共二十周）。 参与者将在整个研究经历中获得专业发展支持。 以及与计划相关的活动，每年为期 3 个月，为期两年。 新泽西州，特别强调来自以下地区的学生比例较高的学区 具有活跃、资金充足的研究项目和广泛的教职人员背景。 具有丰富指导经验的经验丰富的领导团队将为参与者提供支持。 为来自代表性不足的背景的学生实施和评估管道计划，将确保 外部评估员对计划的成功实施。 将成为拟议计划的组成部分，我们将每年跟踪教育和专业情况。 完成研究培训后，我们将传播学员的活动至少 15 年。 计划网站上的综合评估将通过文章进行进一步传播。 在同行评审期刊上发表并通过在区域和国家会议上的演讲， 我们的项目将利用多学科研究环境， RCINJ 强大的教育和外展资源，该州唯一的 NCI 指定综合癌症中心 中心与罗格斯大学类似举措的协同合作将确保该计划的成功。 培训下一代多样化的癌症研究和医疗保健人员。
