Cancer Research Career Enhancement and Related Activities

癌症研究生涯的提升及相关活动 项目摘要 癌症解决方案的创新和实施都需要开发一种训练有素的癌症- 专注于员工队伍。为了促进这一目标，PCCR紧密结合了对一系列不同 在其广泛的研究目标范围内开展教育和专业发展活动。这个 PCCR的机构所在地普渡为进一步发展这一癌症劳动力提供了一个绝佳的机会。 普渡大学是一所领先的R1机构，拥有卓越的多样化研究专业知识，并致力于 它的教育使命。普渡大学赞助了许多明确促进教育和培训的项目。它 同样，支持许多促进所有培训级别的专业发展的计划，包括 本科生到教职员工。然而，这些项目通常不是在与癌症相关的背景下制定的。在……里面 为了对未来的癌症劳动力产生最大的影响，PCCR的首要目标是 关于教育和职业发展，是为现有的普渡赞助的癌症提供重点 如果没有该中心，这些活动就不会存在，从而利用这些活动来应对癌症- 相关目的。同样，通过促进这些教育和专业方面与癌症相关的方面 作为发展计划，PCCR促进了癌症研究领域的许多机会 普渡大学杰出的教职员工、学生和教职员工，如果不是这样的话，就会对新员工感到陌生，从而招收新人。 这些人致力于与癌症作斗争。简而言之，PCCR既促进了自己的计划，也促进了协调 与普渡大学的各种学术和行政单位明确利用普渡大学丰富的机构 资源，以便对关注癌症的教育和专业发展产生最大影响。 针对教育和专业发展的倡议分为四个主题：1)建立 以癌症为重点的实践社区，促进利用研究多样性的跨学科培训 普渡大学的专业知识；2)促进教师发展，并帮助招聘顶尖基础科学家研究癌症- 相关研究；3)通过设计PCCR赞助的活动促进研究生教育和培训 以便将研究生教育和专业发展融入到体验中；以及4) 促进本科生机会，从而塑造普渡大学广泛的职业道路和意图 本科生人口。PCCR活动/方案的具体例子包括：1)生物信息学培训 以研究生为目标的项目；2)研究经验的持续保护伞(CURE)资助 为未被充分代表的少数族裔的研究生提供暑期研究计划；3)为教师提供的计划 以及推动癌症相关研究并将其嵌入临床的物理学博士后 背景；4)培训研究生使用PCCR赞助的共享资源；5)跨学科 通过癌症杂志俱乐部对研究生和教职员工进行培训。通过有意地在其内部接受培训 作为发现使命，PCCR正在培育今天的创新和明天的创新者。

Cancer Research Career Enhancement and Related Activities Project Summary Both innovation and implementation of cancer solutions requires development of a highly trained cancer- focused workforce. To promote this objective, the PCCR tightly integrates sponsorship of a diverse array of educational and professional development activities within its broad portfolio of research objectives. The institutional home of PCCR, Purdue, presents an outstanding opportunity to further grow this cancer workforce. Purdue is a leading R1 institution with an exceptional diversity of research expertise and a deep commitment to its education mission. Purdue sponsors numerous programs that explicitly promote education and training. It similarly supports many programs that promote professional development at all training levels, from undergraduate to faculty. These programs, however, are typically not framed in a cancer-relevant context. In order to have the greatest impact on the cancer workforce of the future, an overarching goal of the PCCR with regards to education and professional development is to provide a cancer focus to existing Purdue-sponsored activities that would not exist in the absence of the Center and thereby leverage these activities for a cancer- relevant purpose. Similarly, by promoting cancer-relevant aspects of these educational and professional development programs, the PCCR promotes opportunities available in the cancer research field that many of the outstanding faculty, students and staff at Purdue would otherwise be unfamiliar with and, thereby, recruits these individuals to the fight against cancer. In short, the PCCR both promotes its own programs and coordinates with various Purdue academic and administrative units to explicitly leverage Purdue's abundant institutional resources in order to have the largest impact on cancer-focused education and professional development. Initiatives addressing education and professional development are grouped into four themes: 1) Building a cancer-focused community of practice to facilitate interdisciplinary training that exploits the diversity of research expertise at Purdue; 2) Promoting faculty development and helping to recruit top-tier basic scientists into cancer- related research; 3) Promoting graduate student education and training by designing PCCR-sponsored activities such that graduate student education and professional development are built into the experience; and 4) Promoting undergraduate opportunities and thereby shape career paths and intentions of Purdue's extensive undergraduate population. Specific examples of PCCR activities/programs include: 1) a bioinformatics training program that targets graduate students; 2) a Continuing Umbrella of Research Experience (CURE)-funded summer research program for graduate students who are underrepresented minorities; 3) a program for faculty and postdocs in the physical sciences that promotes cancer-related research and embeds them in a clinical setting; 4) training of graduate students to use PCCR-sponsored shared resources; and 5) interdisciplinary training for graduate students and faculty via a cancer journal club. By intentionally embracing training within its discovery mission, the PCCR is fostering both the innovations of today and the innovators of tomorrow.
