这项提案将建立一个培训计划，名为“癌症研究教育、进展、培训” 夏威夷大学癌症中心的“和赋权”(CREATE)。该程序的地址 总体目标是加强员工培训，以满足生物医学、行为和临床方面的需求 研究需要降低太平洋地区的癌症发病率和死亡率。Create利用 夏威夷独特的人口和环境带来了极好的研究机会 与夏威夷大学的强大的多学科合作，以及它与 关岛大学。与太平洋夏威夷原住民一起在我们的多民族人口中进行研究培训 岛民、日本人、菲律宾人、中国人、韩国人和欧洲人的血统对癌症健康很重要 由于种族和社会经济地位低而造成的差异，而独特的生物资源和自然资源 在世界其他地方找不到的化合物将为下一代研究人员的药物开发做准备 发现和机制癌症研究，以创造新的癌症治疗方法。除了10周的亲身实践 在UCC，Create的经验将包括多学科研讨会、研讨会和职业生涯的课程 发展会议。该方案的成功将通过几个指标进行评估，例如比例 对生物医学研究生项目和研究职业的参与者进行的长期跟踪 调查、电子邮件、社交媒体和个人联系人。Create的目标是提供与众不同的培训 癌症生物学和人口科学的经验将通过实施 以下目标： 1.提供实践暑期研究经验和多学科课程，以 居住在夏威夷群岛和太平洋地区的本科生加强他们的意图 获得理科学位毕业，并考虑从事解决健康差距和 为药物发现做出贡献。 2.为居住在夏威夷和太平洋地区的一年级研究生提供与癌症相关的研究领域 有机会在多民族环境或独特的环境中获得为期一学期的研究经验 癌症生物学实验室的目标是提高他们解决病因、诊断、 预防和治疗癌症，并提高他们在未来职业生涯中的竞争力 与癌症相关的研究。 该计划建立在UCC暑期实习计划多年来的成功基础上，该计划已经 在过去的10年里为220多名学生提供了研究经验，以前是由 由P30癌症中心支持补助金和慈善基金提供的治疗补充。大水池 潜在参与者将代表来自夏威夷和关岛的学生的不同种族构成。在……里面 总结，Create将为夏威夷和太平洋地区的学生提供独特的人口研究体验 科学或癌症生物学，使他们能够在癌症预防和治疗方面追求成功的事业 控制力。

This proposal will establish a training program called “Cancer Research Education, Advancement, Training and Empowerment” (CREATE) at the University of Hawai`i Cancer Center (UHCC). The program addresses the over-arching goal to enhance the training of a workforce to meet biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs to lower cancer incidence and mortality in the Pacific. CREATE takes advantage of the excellent research opportunities arising from the distinctive population and environment in Hawai`i and the Pacific with strong multi-disciplinary collaborations at the University of Hawai`i and its collaborations with the University of Guam. Research training in our multiethnic population with persons of Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, and European ancestry is important to address cancer health disparities due to ethnicity and low socio-economic status while the unique biologic resources and natural compounds found nowhere else in the world will prepare the next generation of researchers for drug discovery and mechanistic cancer research to create new cancer treatments. Besides the 10-week hands-on experience at UHCC, CREATE will include a curriculum of multi-disciplinary seminars, workshops, and career development sessions. Success of the program will be evaluated through several indicators, e.g., proportion of participants in biomedical graduate programs and research careers, based on long-term tracking by surveys, email, social media, and personal contacts. The goal of CREATE to offer distinctive training experiences in cancer biology and in population sciences will be achieved through the implementation of the following aims: 1. Provide hands-on summer research experiences and a multi-disciplinary curriculum to undergraduate students residing in the Islands of Hawai`i and the Pacific to reinforce their intent to graduate with a science degree and to consider a career to address health disparities and contribute to drug discovery. 2. Offer first-year graduate students living in Hawai`i and the Pacific in cancer-related fields of study the opportunity to gain a 1-semester research experience in a multiethnic environment or unique cancer biology labs with the goal to enhance their skills to address causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer and to improve competitiveness in their future careers in cancer-related research. The program builds upon the many years of success of UHCC's Summer Internship Program that has provided research experiences to more than 220 students over the last 10 years and was previously funded by a CURE supplement to the P30 Cancer Center Support Grant and by philanthropic funds. The large pool of potential participants will represent the distinct ethnic composition of students from Hawai`i and Guam. In summary, CREATE will offer students in Hawai`i and the Pacific a unique research experience in population sciences or cancer biology that will enable them to pursue successful careers in cancer prevention and control.
