PROJECT SUMMARY The number of cancer healthcare providers and researchers is not expected to keep pace with the aging population of the United States, creating an imperative to educate and motivate the next generation of cancer professionals. Experiential research laboratory internships have been shown to be an impactful way to incentivize students toward careers in cancer research, but often such programs are limited in number and scope, thus impeding their potential to influence undergraduate course selection and long-term career goals. Moreover, such experiences do not emphasize critical ancillary skills, such as scientific literacy, designing and presenting posters and seminars, and networking. The Fox Chase Cancer Center-University of Delaware Summer Fellowship Program seeks to provide twelve underclassmen with a residential, intensive 10-week summer internship focused on basic laboratory skill acquisition, a cancer research experience tailored to the student's interests, and complementary training and guidance in professional development. Students will be recruited to this program via an introductory, day-long exposure to the Center, which will include brief research laboratory rotations and discussion of cancer-focused, STEM-based careers; this introductory visit is open to all University of Delaware students in the College of Arts and Sciences. Metrics of programmatic success will be obtained through weekly meetings with mentors and students, pre- and post-internship evaluations, and long- term tracking of student career decisions. Through this program, we aim to incorporate students into the cancer research community, inspire them to pursue careers that are critical in the ongoing battle against cancer, and equip them with the tools required to succeed as professionals.

项目摘要 预计癌症医疗保健提供者和研究人员的数量不会与老龄化保持同步 美国的人口，创造了教育和激励下一代癌症的当务之急 专业人士。经验研究实验室实习已被证明是一种有影响力的方式 激励学生从事癌症研究的职业，但这种计划的数量通常受到限制，并且 范围，因此阻碍了他们影响本科课程选择和长期职业目标的潜力。 此外，这种经验并不强调批判性辅助技能，例如科学素养，设计和 介绍海报和研讨会以及网络。特拉华州的福克斯大通癌症中心 夏季奖学金计划旨在为十二个低年级学生提供一个住宅，密集的10周 暑期实习的重点是基本实验室技能，这是一种量身定制的癌症研究经验 学生的兴趣以及专业发展的互补培训和指导。学生会 通过介绍性的，为期一天的介绍性招募该计划，其中包括简短的研究 实验室轮换和讨论以癌症为中心的，基于STEM的职业；这次入门访问向所有人开放 特拉华大学艺术与科学学院的学生。编程成功的指标将是 通过每周与导师和学生的会议，实习和后的评估以及长期 术语跟踪学生职业决定。通过该计划，我们旨在将学生纳入癌症 研究社区，激发他们从事与癌症持续斗争至关重要的职业，以及 为他们配备成功作为专业人士所需的工具。
