PROJECT SUMMARY The setting of this training activity within the Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE) between the University of Guam (UOG) and the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center (UHCC) is unique in its ethnic diversity and its distant location. Pacific Islanders are extremely underrepresented in the nation’s biomedical workforce, which limits progress in research and prevention of cancer health disparities. PIPCHE addresses training Pacific Islander cancer researchers in the context of the vast diversity and geography of the region. The impact of the two previous cycles is remarkable. Without a cancer center in Guam, young researchers and students had no opportunity to be involved in cancer research despite the high incidence of many cancers. During the past 10 years, an infrastructure for research training in Guam and Micronesia has been built; many UOG faculty members are collaborating in cancer research with UHCC. Since the initiation of PIPCHE, two previous trainees moved into faculty positions at UOG, two graduates supported in cycle one are now in faculty positions on the US mainland, and one trainee is now employed at the National Institute of Minority Health Disparities. To date, ten trainees have entered doctoral programs in different locations. Of the 45 PIPCHE research assistants, at least nine went on graduate and professional degree programs. This Research Education Core (REC) will continue the successful path with three specific aims: 1) Provide guidance, support and opportunities to acquire research skills and experience to Pacific Islander students pursuing a master’s degree with a focus on cancer-related health disparities in the Pacific Island region. Students will be supported at UOG, or at UHCC in programs not offered at UOG, and mentored in a research project under the supervision of one or more PIPCHE faculty. An expanded curriculum consisting of an online course and a journal club will address critical current topics in cancer research. 2) Provide guidance, support and opportunities to acquire research skills and experience for students interested in cancer health disparities in the Pacific who are enrolled in a graduate degree program (master’s or doctoral). Students will participate in biomedical, epidemiologic, psychosocial, and community-based research projects led by UHCC faculty. 3) Support, guide and develop Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) to become independent investigators in cancer health disparities with the help of a mentoring committee, an annual manuscript and grant writing workshop, attendance at scientific meetings, and course releases. Important enhancements are incorporated into the proposed program: increasing support from four to six UOG master’s students per year due to high demand; novel online modules related to health disparities in the Pacific; extension of UHCC funding from doctoral to master’s students; travel scholarships for trainees to attend scientific meetings; an annual intensive writing workshop at UOG to improve output in published manuscripts and grant applications; implementation of mentoring committees and funds to provide ESIs with protected time for grant and manuscript writing.

项目摘要 在太平洋岛屿癌症健康平等伙伴关系范围内开展这一培训活动 关岛大学（UOG）和夏威夷大学癌症中心（UHCC）之间的合作是独一无二的， 种族多样性和遥远的地理位置。太平洋岛民在美国的 生物医学劳动力，这限制了研究和预防癌症健康差距的进展。PIPCHE 解决培训太平洋岛民癌症研究人员在巨大的多样性和地理的背景下， 地区前两个周期的影响是显著的。如果关岛没有癌症中心， 研究人员和学生没有机会参与癌症研究，尽管癌症的发病率很高， 许多癌症。在过去10年中，关岛和密克罗尼西亚的研究培训基础设施 已经建成;许多UOG教职员工正在与UHCC合作进行癌症研究。从发起所 PIPCHE，两名以前的受训人员进入UOG的教师职位，两名在第一周期得到支持的毕业生 现在在美国大陆的教师职位，一名受训人员现在受雇于国家研究所， 少数民族的健康差异。迄今为止，已有10名受训人员在不同地点进入博士课程。的 45名PIPCHE研究助理，至少有9人参加了研究生和专业学位课程。这 研究教育核心（REC）将继续沿着成功的道路前进，并实现三个具体目标：1）提供 为太平洋岛民学生提供指导、支持和获得研究技能和经验的机会 在攻读硕士学位时，重点关注太平洋岛屿地区与癌症有关的健康差距。 学生将在UOG或UHCC获得UOG不提供的课程的支持，并在研究中得到指导。 在一个或多个PIPCHE教师的监督下进行项目。一个扩展的课程，包括一个在线 课程和期刊俱乐部将讨论癌症研究中的关键当前主题。2)提供指导、支持 以及为对癌症健康感兴趣的学生提供获得研究技能和经验的机会 在太平洋地区，就读研究生学位课程（硕士或博士）的学生人数存在差距。学生将 参与UHCC领导的生物医学、流行病学、社会心理学和社区研究项目 教师。3)支持、指导和培养早期研究者（ESI），使其成为独立的研究者， 在指导委员会、年度手稿和赠款写作的帮助下， 讲习班、出席科学会议和课程发布。纳入了重要的增强功能 进入拟议的计划：增加支持从四个到六个UOG硕士生每年由于高 需求;与太平洋地区健康差距相关的新在线模块; UHCC资金的扩展， 博士生到硕士生;为参加科学会议的受训人员提供旅行奖学金;每年一次的密集培训 在日内瓦大学举办写作讲习班，以提高已出版手稿和赠款申请的产出; 指导委员会和基金，为ESI提供受保护的时间，以获得资助和撰写手稿。
