Cancer Prevention Summer Research Experience The Cancer Prevention Research Training Program (CPRTP) Summer Research Experience (SRE) awards fellowships to undergraduate, graduate, and health professional students interested in cancer prevention research and funded the National Cancer Institute-NCI (R25 CA56452, Dr. Shine Chang, Principal Investigator) grant award. We are among 14 programs participating in the MD Anderson Summer Experience. Our unique program is the oldest academic fellowship program at MD Anderson. We provide a curriculum of mentored research by the Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences (DCPPS) faculty, educational and career development activities, and additional funding support to present summer research findings and conferences. Students conduct research using emerging science and cutting-edge technologies; interact with faculty and other summer interns; explore the possibility of a career in science; and engage in a robust curriculum of seminars in cancer prevention, career development, and scientific communication. At the program's conclusion, students hone their scientific communication skills by presenting their research findings in the form of a 90-second oral elevator speech presentation and scientific poster. Summer alumni benefit from collaboration with summer faculty mentors, submit publications to leading cancer research journals, and present their summer research projects at local, national, and international conferences. Summer alumni have launched successful careers in cancer prevention research and related disciplines.
