Education and Enrichment Core

西北大学对抗卓越中心(NUCCX)的一个关键方面是创建一个 协作式对抗研究社区。这个核心的总体目标是集中和协调 NUCCX的所有智力活动，重点是吸引新的调查人员进入 芥末伤。实现这一目标的最佳方法之一是通过全面的教育 以及注重个人和职业发展的培训计划，以及充满活力的社区 外展工作和坚定不移地致力于招募妇女和城市居民进入全国城市发展中心社区。 NUCCX的优势之一是其来自化学系的多元化科学家群体， 皮肤科、免疫学、医学、眼科、物理学和天文学，以及泌尿科。这些科学家是 位于西北大学范伯格医学院和温伯格文理学院。 除了教职员工，还有本科生、研究生、医学生、住院医生和博士后 伙计们。然而，这种多样性也带来了凝聚力的挑战，这将是 这个核心。通过参与外联活动，教育和丰富方案还将 涵盖社会科学(SIS)和社区合作伙伴，包括芝加哥公立学校合作伙伴和 芝加哥男孩和女孩俱乐部。具体地说，这一核心将：(一)L倡导多学科教育培训 研讨会、讲习班和网络机会；(Ii)促进个人和职业发展 NUCCX受训人员和调查人员[(三)通过西北大学的科学与社区合作伙伴 (4)促进芥菜伤害领域的包容性和多样性；(5)进行评估 整个方案以及教育和充实方案的关键方面，包括受训人员 职业发展。一项重大倡议将是在以下领域促进性别和少数群体代表性 芥末伤。研讨会系列的一个创新方面是，研讨会将被记录下来，并与幻灯片一起， 随着新的研究人员进入NUCCX和该领域，策划了持续的学习。我们预见到 几年后，将开发一个在线混合课程。该核心将传播与 上述方案在NUCCX网站上发布，并通过电子通信向当地研究界传播。 关于性别和代表不足的少数群体(URM)，与皮肤生物学和疾病 皮肤科内的资源中心(SBDRC)和T-32培训助学金计划 NUCCX将与他们吸引和招募URM和女性参与对策研究的努力保持一致。 NUCCX培训和教育方案将突出这些社区内的研究，并提供 为实习生提供网络机会。教育和丰富核心将完成所有这些任务 指导委员会：(1)指导委员会；(2)内部咨询委员会；(3)外部咨询委员会。

A key aspect of the Northwestern University CounterAct Center of EXcellence (NUCCX) is to create a collaborative countermeasure research community. The overall goal of this core is to centralize and coordinate all of the intellectual activities of the NUCCX with an emphasis on attracting new investigators into the field of mustard injury. One of the ways that this goal can best be accomplished is through a comprehensive education and training program emphasizing personal and professional development, coupled with a vigorous community outreach effort and an unwavering commitment to recruiting women and URMs into the NUCCX community. One of the strengths of the NUCCX is its diversified group of scientists from the departments of chemistry, dermatology, immunology, medicine, ophthalmology, physics and astronomy, and urology. These scientists are located within Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. In addition to the faculty, there will be undergraduate, graduate, medical students, residents and postdoctoral fellows. However, such diversity also brings with it the challenge of cohesivity, which will be another mission of this core. Through engagement with outreach initiatives, the Education and Enrichment program will also encompass Science in Society (SIS) and community partners including Chicago Public School partners and Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago. Specifically, this core will: (i)l foster education and training with multidisciplinary seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities; (ii) advance personal and professional development of NUCCX trainees and investigators[ (iii) engage community partners through Northwestern University’s Science in Society (SiS); (iv) promote inclusivity and diversity within the mustard injury field; and (v) conduct evaluations of the overall program and of key aspects of the education and enrichment program, including trainee professional development. A major initiative will be the fostering of sex and minority representation in the field of mustard injury. An innovative aspect of the seminar series is that seminars will be recorded, and with the slides, curated to create continuous learning as new researchers enter into the NUCCX and the field. We envision that after a few years, an online blended course will be developed. The core will disseminate material related to the above program on the NUCCX website and through electronic communication to the local research community. With respect to sex and underrepresented minorities (URM), in coordination with the Skin Biology & Diseases Resource-Based Center (SBDRC) and T-32 Training Grant program within the Department of Dermatology, the NUCCX will align with their endeavors to attract and recruit URM and women into countermeasures research. The NUCCX training and education program will highlight research within these communities and provide networking opportunities for trainees. The Education and Enrichment Core will accomplish all of these tasks with guidance from: (i) the Steering Committee; (ii) the Internal Advisory Board; and (iii) an External Advisory Board.
