PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Meharry Medical College requests funds to expand the Meharry Cancer Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP), a program that primarily trains undergraduate students from racial and ethnic groups traditionally underrepresented in health-related sciences. Meharry Medical College is one of the largest historically black academic health science centers in the United States dedicated to educating physicians and biomedical researchers. It has a proven commitment to training underrepresented minorities and is a leading producer of African Americans with PhDs in biomedical sciences. Meharry has received federal funding to support a U54 Cancer Partnership and other programs to support the research training and education of students traditionally underrepresented in biomedical research. The 10-week summer program provides an intensive, hands-on cancer-focused research experience for undergraduate students and exposes student participants to the area of cancer health disparities. Research training is provided by a diverse faculty consisting of experienced cancer investigators from Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. In this administrative supplement, we request funds to provide additional training in the area of bioinformatics. A nationwide search will be conducted to identify and select undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers in medicine and biomedical science. Student research projects will focus on cancers that disproportionately affect African-Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities. In addition, student research projects will include preclinical studies, clinical research, epidemiological studies, and translational cancer research. Five students supported by this supplement will perform cancer disparities-focused research projects involving bioinformatics. Additional program enrichment activities will include a cancer biology minicourse to teach students fundamental concepts common to all cancers and a bioinformatics minicourse. Students will participate in a weekly cancer biology/cancer health disparities research seminar and biweekly sessions on the responsible conduct of research. Students will also participate in career development workshops that will allow them to explore career options, create individual development plans, and learn how to apply and successfully gain entrance into M.D. and Ph.D. training programs. At the end of the 10-week program, students will create oral and poster presentations describing their research and present their findings internally during the Meharry Summer Cancer Research Symposium and externally at one national conference. Program directors will track participants through their undergraduate and post-graduate training to evaluate the extent to which program goals were met and identify areas for improvement. Evaluations from research mentors and undergraduate program directors/chairs will also be used to assess and improve the program.

项目摘要/摘要 Meharry医学院要求资金扩大Meharry Cancer夏季本科生 研究计划（SUERP），该计划主要培训来自种族和族裔的本科生 传统上，与健康相关的科学中的人数不足。梅哈里医学院是最大的 历史上，美国的黑人学术科学中心致力于教育医生和 生物医学研究人员。它具有公认的承诺，致力于培训代表性不足的少数群体，并且是领先的 具有生物医学科学博士学位的非裔美国人的生产者。梅哈里（Meharry）已获得联邦资金 支持U54癌症伙伴关系和其他计划，以支持学生的研究培训和教育 传统上，生物医学研究中的人为不足。 这项为期10周 本科生，并使学生参与者面临癌症健康差异的领域。研究 培训由由Meharry Medical的经验丰富的癌症调查员组成的多样化教师提供 大学和范德比尔特大学医学中心。在此行政补充中，我们要求资金提供 在生物信息学领域进行的其他培训。将进行全国范围的搜索以识别和选择 有兴趣从事医学和生物医学科学职业的本科生。学生研究 项目将集中于对非裔美国人以及其他种族和种族的不成比例的癌症 少数民族。此外，学生研究项目将包括临床前研究，临床研究，流行病学 研究和转化癌研究。该补充剂支持的五名学生将进行癌症 涉及生物信息学的以差异为重点的研究项目。其他计划丰富活动将 包括一个癌症生物学的缩影，以教导学生所有癌症常见的基本概念和 生物信息学微型。学生将参加每周的癌症生物学/癌症健康差异研究 关于负责任的研究的研讨会和每两周一次的会议。学生也将参加职业 开发研讨会将使他们能够探索职业选择，制定个人发展计划以及 了解如何应用并成功进入医学博士和博士学位。培训计划。 在为期10周的课程结束时，学生将创建口头和海报演示文稿，描述他们 研究并在Meharry夏季癌症研究研讨会和 在一个全国会议上。计划董事将通过其本科生跟踪参与者 研究生培训以评估实现计划目标的程度并确定 改进。还将使用研究导师和本科课程董事/椅子的评估 评估和改进该计划。
