项目摘要

The objective of the proposed Summer Program for Academic Research in Cancer (SPARC) at the Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) is to provide cancer research career pathways for undergraduate and medical students. This objective will be achieved by providing mentored, high-quality, cancer- focused research experiences along with didactic and professional development workshops to undergraduate and first year medical students to prepare them for cancer-related fields. Twenty-five trainees (15 undergraduate and 10 first-year medical students) will be recruited every year to spend 10 weeks performing cancer research and attend didactic and professional development workshops, clinical shadowing with physician-scientist mentors in case of medical student trainees, and networking events. SPARC is open to any eligible student across the country with a residential option for some, but we anticipate the majority of undergraduate students to come from major universities in Indiana including Indiana University, University of Indianapolis, Indiana State University, Purdue University, and the University of Notre Dame, whereas medical students are likely to be from IU School of Medicine, the only allopathic medical school in Indiana, and potentially from Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine. While undergraduate trainees will potentially become graduate students in the new translational cancer biology PhD program, medical trainees can become part of our recently established Scholarly Concentration in Cancer Biology Research and Practice. Sixty five IUSCCC investigators with previous history of productive mentoring of undergraduate and medical students during summers and active extramurally funded research programs will serve as mentors. Project trainees will gain enhanced laboratory and research skills, including appreciation of the cancer research enterprise and patient care, understanding of career opportunities, and a long-term academic relationship with mentors. Didactic lectures include basic cancer biology, immuno-oncology, and precision therapy, and professional workshops include career opportunities, communicating science, manuscript writing, and tumor board to round out the summer experience. An administrative structure consisting of a principal investigator with administrative and mentoring experience, co- investigators with program implementation, mentoring, and program evaluation experience, and a program manager with recruitment and community outreach experience has been established along with program assessment/refinement by internal and external advisors. A virtual summer research experience in cancer, which we designed and implemented in 2020, will be implemented in years where public health emergencies preclude hands-on training. SPARC continues the success of IUSCCC in administering summer research programs for the past 20 years and expands the scope to fulfill the mission of the IUSCCC to educate students from a diverse educational spectrum who will become ambassadors for cancer knowledge and research in their communities and eventually become biomedical professionals who help in reducing cancer burden.

印第安纳州提议的癌症学术研究夏季夏季计划的目标西蒙大学综合癌症中心（IUSCCC）将为癌症研究职业提供本科生和医学生。这一目标将通过提供指导，高质量的癌症 - 专注的研究经验以及教学和专业发展研讨会和第一年的医学生为他们准备与癌症有关的领域做好准备。 25名学员（15名本科生每年将招募10名一年级医学生），花10周的时间进行癌症研究并参加教学和专业发展研讨会，与医师科学家一起临床阴影在医学生学员和网络活动的情况下进行导师。 SPARC向任何合格的学生开放在全国范围来自印第安纳大学，印第安纳波利斯大学印第安纳大学的主要大学大学，普渡大学和圣母大学，而医学生可能来自 IU医学院，印第安纳州唯一的同种疗法医学院，可能来自玛丽安大学骨病学院。虽然本科学员有可能成为新的翻译癌症生物学博士学位计划，医疗学员可以成为我们最近成立的一部分癌症生物学研究和实践中的学术浓度。六十五名IUSCCC调查人员夏季和现场活动的本科生和医学生的生产力指导历史资助的研究计划将担任导师。项目学员将获得增强的实验室和研究技能，包括对癌症研究企业和患者护理的欣赏，了解职业机会，与导师的长期学术关系。教学讲座包括基本癌症生物学，免疫肿瘤学和精确疗法以及专业研讨会包括职业机会，传达科学，手稿写作和肿瘤委员会，以结束夏季的体验。一个行政结构由具有行政和指导经验的主要研究人员组成，共同具有计划实施，指导和计划评估经验以及计划的调查人员拥有招聘和社区外展经验的经理与计划一起建立了内部和外部顾问的评估/改进。癌症的虚拟夏季研究经验，我们在2020年设计和实施，将在公共卫生紧急情况排除的几年中实施动手训练。 SPARC继续IUSCCC在管理夏季研究计划方面的成功过去20年，扩大了范围，以履行IUSCCC的使命，以教育来自多样化的学生教育范围将成为其社区癌症知识和研究的大使并最终成为帮助减轻癌症负担的生物医学专业人员。
