随着少数群体癌症负担的增加和消除癌症差异的进展有限，在基础、临床和行为研究方面培养一支多样化的肿瘤学研究队伍变得非常重要，他们将解决癌症差异并增加少数群体在临床试验中的参与。为了解决佛罗里达州缺乏训练有素的少数族裔癌症科学家的问题，佛罗里达大学与佛罗里达农工大学于2012年合作建立了佛罗里达州杰出领导者前列腺癌研究培训机会（reool）项目。自2012年以来，reool计划已扩展到以下方面：(1)覆盖癌症差异的所有领域；(2)为佛罗里达州所有传统黑人学院和大学的少数族裔学生提供培训机会；(3)成功获得校内和校外联邦资助，持续为佛罗里达州的少数民族学生提供研究培训机会。ReTOOL模式主要侧重于培养黑人学生，包括文化敏感的招聘、指导、教学课程、网络和癌症研究的实践经验。本文讨论了从管理5年的reool项目中学到的经验教训，其中包括为有效的研究培训项目提供正确的投入（如多数-少数机构的合作伙伴关系、资金、教师顾问、忠诚的导师、有文化能力的员工和标准化的项目需求）和过程（如管道方法、结构化应用系统、教学课程、研究经验和持续的指导）。该项目的影响是增加了少数族裔候选人的数量，他们的科学和学术职业发展路径专注于减少癌症健康差距。
With the growing burden of cancer in minority populations and limited progress in eliminating cancer disparities, it has become important to develop a diverse oncology workforce in basic, clinical, and behavioral research who will address cancer disparities and increase the participation of minority populations in clinical trials. To address the lack of well-trained underrepresented minority cancer scientists in Florida, the University of Florida collaborated with Florida A&M University in 2012 to establish the Florida Prostate Cancer Research Training Opportunities for Outstanding Leaders (ReTOOL) Program. Since 2012, the ReTOOL program has expanded to (1) cover all areas of cancer disparities; (2) offer training opportunities to minority students from all historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in Florida; and (3) successfully secure both intramural and extramural federal funding to continuously provide research training opportunities for minority students in Florida. Focusing primarily on training Black students, the ReTOOL model includes culturally sensitive recruitment, mentorship, didactic curriculum, networking, and hands on experience in cancer research. This paper discusses the lessons learned from administering the ReTOOL program for 5 years, which includes having the right inputs (such as majority-minority institutions partnership, funding, faculty advisors, committed mentors, culturally competent staff, and standardized program requirements) and processes (such as pipeline approach, structured applications system, didactic curriculum, research experience, and continuous mentoring) for an effective research training program. The program impact is an increase in the pool of underrepresented minority candidates with scientific and academic career progression paths focused on reducing cancer health disparities.
