项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Increasing the diversity of cancer researchers and clinicians is a key strategy for finding innovative cancer control solutions and reducing cancer disparities. This Youth Enjoy Science Research Education (YES) Program will increase the diversity of University of California San Diego (UCSD) graduates who are pursuing graduate/professional training in the sciences. This YES Program is grounded on the Transformative Learning Theory and UCSD's 16 years of experience conducting UCSD's successful CURE Program. This YES Program will increase the number of women and underrepresented students from diverse scientific disciplines who are prepared for graduate school admission, with a focus on addressing cancer and cancer disparities. Specifically, YES students participate in classroom and laboratory learning activities that raise their understanding of cancer and the nation's and the world's cancer disparities. Thus, cancer disparities and how they are identified and resolved become the common theme that interconnects this YES Program's various learning activities. Students approach the issues related to cancer disparities, from the perspective of their individual laboratory training, classes and workshops, their own cultural backgrounds, community outreach events they deploy, and their chosen academic and professional pathways. San Diego's three NCI-designated cancer centers (UCSD, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute) invite the YES students to work and learn in the basic, behavioral, clinical and translational cancer research labs of their top cancer researchers. In their labs and classrooms, the YES students gain a solid understanding of cancer and the many bio-behavioral issues related to the development and exacerbation of cancer disparities and the possible resolutions. With this information and their literature review, students learn how to work on multidisciplinary teams as they develop programs to help reduce their community's cancer morbidity and mortality rates. Through these activities, students learn that, throughout their lives, they can play a role in reducing cancer disparities. To help YES students' reach their full academic, personal, and professional potential, they are also offered supplementary learning experiences, e.g., public speaking, goal setting and time management, writing, conducting literature search and synthesis skills, and experiences presenting and discussing their research work with professional and lay audiences. Students also prepare and submit abstracts to present their research findings at research symposia and national scientific meetings. Mentoring of the YES Program students, continues throughout their time at UCSD and on to graduate school. Thus, the premise of this YES program is that this learning opportunity will give the students hands-on research experiences and skills that will help them to secure admission to graduate level STEM programs and careers in cancer control research, always with a focus on reducing cancer disparities.

项目概要/摘要增加癌症研究人员和临床医生的多样性是寻找创新癌症的关键策略控制解决方案并减少癌症差异。这个年轻人享受科学研究教育（是）该计划将增加加州大学圣地亚哥分校 (UCSD) 毕业生的多样性科学研究生/专业培训。该 YES 计划以变革性学习为基础理论和 UCSD 16 年成功实施 CURE 计划的经验。这个是该计划将增加来自不同科学学科的女性和代表性不足的学生数量为研究生入学做好准备，重点关注解决癌症和癌症差异问题。具体来说，YES 学生参与课堂和实验室学习活动，以提高他们的能力了解癌症以及国家和世界的癌症差异。因此，癌症差异以及如何它们被识别和解决，成为将 YES 计划的各个方面相互联系起来的共同主题学习活动。学生从自己的角度处理与癌症差异相关的问题个人实验室培训、课程和研讨会、他们自己的文化背景、社区外展他们部署的活动以及他们选择的学术和职业道路。圣地亚哥的三个 NCI 指定癌症中心（UCSD、索尔克生物研究所和 Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery） Institute）邀请 YES 学生在基础、行为、临床和转化癌症方面工作和学习顶级癌症研究人员的研究实验室。在他们的实验室和教室里，YES 学生获得了扎实的知识了解癌症以及与癌症的发展和恶化相关的许多生物行为问题癌症差异和可能的解决方案。通过这些信息和文献综述，学生可以学习如何在多学科团队中开展工作，开发有助于减少社区癌症的项目发病率和死亡率。通过这些活动，学生们了解到，在他们的一生中，他们可以玩在减少癌症差异方面发挥作用。帮助 YES 学生全面实现学术、个人和专业潜力，他们还获得补充学习经验，例如公开演讲、目标设置和时间管理、写作、文献检索和综合技能以及经验与专业和非专业观众展示和讨论他们的研究工作。学生们还准备和提交摘要，在研究研讨会和国家科学会议上展示他们的研究成果。对 YES 项目学生的指导将持续到他们在 UCSD 学习期间直至进入研究生院。因此，这个 YES 项目的前提是这个学习机会将为学生提供实践机会研究经验和技能将帮助他们获得研究生水平的 STEM 项目的录取，从事癌症控制研究的职业，始终致力于减少癌症差异。
