Welcome to the Mentors Project!

The Model Education Networks To Optimize Rural Science
(MENTORS) project aims to recruit and prepare the next generation of basic, translational and clinical cancer researchers. The Mentors Project also supports the development of classroom activities and professional development activities that demonstrate the connection between science concepts and their "real world" application.

High School and Undergraduate Summer Research Program (See Part 1 and Part 2 of the Documentary)

The Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP) of UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, Science Park Research Division would like to invite you to watch our new documentary that tracks the experiences of our 2010 summer high school and undergraduate interns. The film also features interviews with established cancer research scientists, which can also be viewed individually (see right). This documentary is intended to provide insight in to the variety of motivations for pursuing a research career and the individual paths taken to achieve this objective. We hope that after you watch this video you will feel inspired to pursue a career in science.
