Project Summary/Abstract In cancer research, the need for a diverse pool of researchers in statistics and data science has never been greater. Yet, the requisite academic pipeline for training such a workforce remains inadequate. Minority students admitted to statistics or biostatistics graduate programs are confronted with lack of diversity at the faculty level, and, frequently, lack of awareness by faculty of ways to best support them. Explanations for the lack of faculty diversity in science are multifactorial, but two key drivers are the lack of inclusion frequently felt by racial and ethnic minority students, and the pipeline problem reflected by the low number of doctoral graduates from these historically marginalized groups. The driving objective of GROWS@FredHutch (Generating Research Opportunities Within Statistics at Fred Hutch) is to simultaneously tackle these obstacles. To address the pipeline problem, we will develop and implement a new summer mentored research program for undergraduates who identify as underrepresented minorities. The program will offer: (1) an engaging and supportive mentored research experience that increases their awareness of and interest in pursuing careers in cancer statistics and data science research and (2) career development, community building, and social/emotional support activities. Our goal is that students will not only gain skills and confidence in cancer statistics and data science, but they will feel a sense of belonging and rightful place in the statistics and cancer research communities. The program will also provide coaching to faculty mentors to optimize their chances of success and confidence in mentoring students and will engage faculty in activities that build community. The specific objectives of GROWS@FredHutch are: (1) Educate: through intensive training in R programming and statistics via an introductory didactic program followed by ongoing reinforcement and support; (2) Engage: via carefully crafted mentored cancer statistics projects; (3) Enable: through career development workshops and a role-model program; (4) Endure: foster ongoing connection and support students in pursuing research careers in the field via activities to build community and sense of belonging and career support post program. In addition, we propose to offer a program for faculty mentors that will improve mentoring skills, build confidence in supervising students from historically marginalized groups, and increase awareness of the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and rightful presence for these students. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center offers a world-renowned cancer research environment and scientific faculty, prioritizes training the next generation of cancer researchers, and is strongly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Puget Sound area is home to a large immigrant community and a diverse set of minority cultures, which will be targeted for recruitment via a well-honed diversity recruitment plan bolstered by longstanding community partnerships.

项目概要/摘要 在癌症研究中，对统计和数据科学领域的多元化研究人员的需求从未如此强烈。 更大。然而，培训此类劳动力所需的学术渠道仍然不足。少数民族 被统计学或生物统计学研究生课程录取的学生面临着缺乏多样性的问题 教师水平，而且教师常常缺乏对最好的支持方法的认识。 科学界缺乏师资多样性的原因是多方面的，但两个关键驱动因素是缺乏 少数族裔学生经常感受到包容性，而低收入所反映的管道问题 这些历史上被边缘化的群体的博士毕业生数量。的驱动目标 GROWS@FredHutch（在 Fred Hutch 的统计领域创造研究机会）将同时 解决这些障碍。为了解决管道问题，我们将制定并实施新的夏季 为被认为代表性不足的少数族裔的本科生提供指导研究计划。该计划将 提供：(1) 一种引人入胜且支持性的指导研究经验，提高他们的意识和 有兴趣从事癌症统计和数据科学研究职业；(2) 职业发展， 社区建设和社交/情感支持活动。我们的目标是学生不仅获得技能 对癌症统计和数据科学充满信心，但他们会感到归属感和应有的地位 在统计和癌症研究界。该计划还将为教师导师提供指导 最大限度地提高他们指导学生的成功机会和信心，并让教师参与活动 建立社区。 GROWS@FredHutch 的具体目标是： (1) 教育：通过 R 编程强化培训 通过介绍性教学计划提供统计数据，然后进行持续强化和支持； (2) 参与： 通过精心设计的指导癌症统计项目； (3) 赋能：通过职业发展研讨会 和榜样计划； (4) 坚持：培养持续的联系并支持学生进行研究 通过建立社区和归属感的活动以及职业支持岗位计划来促进该领域的职业生涯。 此外，我们建议为教师导师提供一个计划，以提高指导技能，建立 增强监督历史上边缘群体学生的信心，并提高对这一问题的认识 培养这些学生的归属感和合法存在感的重要性。 Fred Hutchinson 癌症研究中心提供世界知名的癌症研究环境和 科学教师，优先培训下一代癌症研究人员，并坚定致力于 多样性、公平性和包容性。普吉特海湾地区拥有大型移民社区和多元化的社区 一套少数文化，将通过精心设计的多元化招聘计划进行招聘 得益于长期的社区合作伙伴关系。
