job listing dilemma

[MaxxDaddy]

For background, I just graduated Cornell and am taking a year off before hopefully going to medical school. I came across a job posting on sciencejobs.com for a research position in a cancer lab and within the description they ask for me to send a cover letter, resume, and "current and future research interests (max 1 page)." Does anyone know what they want for this last thing? Has anyone done something similar in the past? Thanks.
