项目摘要

The innovative University of Minnesota Cancer Research And Teaching Excellence: M-CREATE program leverages ten years of high school and undergraduate health equity cancer research-focused mentorship and education activities, to implement a theoretically guided, evidence driven program designed to grow the numbers of cancer-focused scientists from groups underrepresented in science, and promote their academic developmental progress towards future careers in cancer research. M-CREATE will combine the experiences of our unique team including Masonic Cancer Center and Program in Health Disparities Research leadership, with best practices from education, mentorship, service learning, and parent education within a theoretical and equity-oriented frame to engage, educate, and support students to achieve the knowledge, skills, science identity, and self-efficacy required to support academic persistence and long-term success within the biomedical and behavioral sciences. The long-term goal of this proposal is to address the pressing needs of our increasingly diverse patient population in Minnesota and the United States (U.S.) by enhancing the diversity of the cancer-focused research workforce. We will support the academic persistence of first, 240 early high school students attending two urban school districts comprised of approximately seventy percent Native American students and students of color, through a multicomponent, staged program combining hands on research mentorship, academic and professional development, science-oriented identity development, parent support, and community-engaged service learning. Four cohorts of 60 students will participate in an initial engagement year comprised of supportive and exciting hands-on experiences. Ten students per cohort will continue in an intensive experience including two nine-week summer mentored research experiences and a community-engaged service learning experience. Next, 60 early-stage undergraduate students underrepresented in science will participate in a nine-week summer program combining academic and professional development and hands on research mentorship. Finally, we will deepen the science-focused skills of high school teachers from collaborating districts serving students underrepresented in science through a hands-on research lab experience paired with evidence-based support to develop curricula responsive to the needs of diverse learners. Diversifying the cancer research workforce is critical to addressing the pressing needs of increasingly diverse patient populations in Minnesota and across the U.S. M-CREATE aligns strongly with NCI strategic priorities to strengthen the cancer research workforce and mitigate cancer disparities.

创新的明尼苏达大学癌症研究和教学卓越：M-CREATE 计划利用十年来高中和本科生健康公平以癌症研究为重点的指导和教育活动，以实施旨在发展理论指导、证据驱动的计划来自在科学领域代表性不足的群体中的许多专注于癌症的科学家，并促进他们的学术癌症研究未来职业的发展进展。 M-CREATE将结合经验我们独特的团队包括共济会癌症中心和健康差异研究项目的领导力，在理论和实践的范围内，从教育、指导、服务学习和家长教育中获得最佳实践以公平为导向的框架，吸引、教育和支持学生获得知识、技能和科学支持学业坚持和长期成功所需的身份和自我效能生物医学和行为科学。该提案的长期目标是解决以下方面的迫切需求：通过加强明尼苏达州和美国的患者群体日益多样化以癌症为中心的研究队伍的多样性。我们会支持第一、240早的学术坚持在两个城市学区就读的高中生中大约有百分之七十是本地人美国学生和有色人种学生，通过多部分、分阶段的项目，结合实践研究指导、学术和专业发展、科学导向的身份发展、家长支持和社区参与的服务学习。四组 60 名学生将参加初始项目参与年包括支持性和令人兴奋的实践经验。每组十名学生将继续密集的体验，包括两次为期九周的夏季指导研究经历和社区参与服务学习经验。接下来是60名早期本科生科学领域代表性不足的人将参加为期九周的夏季项目，该项目结合了学术和专业发展和实践研究指导。最后，我们将深化以科学为中心的合作地区高中教师的技能，通过以下方式为科学领域代表性不足的学生提供服务：实践研究实验室经验与基于证据的支持相结合，以开发响应的课程不同学习者的需求。癌症研究队伍的多元化对于解决紧迫的问题至关重要明尼苏达州和全美各地日益多样化的患者群体的需求与 M-CREATE 高度契合 NCI 的战略重点是加强癌症研究队伍并缩小癌症差异。
