项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and the Georgetown University Medical Center, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) propose to continue their participation in the Bridges to the Doctorate that has been built upon the successful partnership that currently exist due to an NIH/NCI p20 and U56 funding. A UDC Masters Degree Program in Cancer Biology Prevention and Control, an outgrowth from the U56 grant, is jointly taught by UDC and LCCC. To help alleviate the heavy cancer burden that impacts the District of Columbia, the Masters Degree Program was established to provide competitive minorities students with knowledge and confidence that will allow for seamless transition from this MS program to a competitive Doctorate Program. Consistent with the NIH requirements for the Bridges to the Doctorate Program, we propose the following objectives to augment the students' conceptual learning and skills. (1) update and implement a highly competitive curriculum in the Masters Program and provide pre-course enhancers (PCEs) in order to impart background to help master material found in courses that have previously caused difficulty to similar students, (2).To improve academic performance by having students attend and present at journal club and local and national scientific meetings, participate in research skills and education workshops, and a distinguished lectures series and belong to a Transition Interest Groups (TRIGs), a student-mentoring group,(3) To provide each Masters student with a summer research experience in a research-intensive laboratory (4) to provide an opportunity for two faculty members from the LCCC to serve as visiting professors at UDC. The goal of the Bridges to the Doctorate Program is to graduate Master-level students who are able to gain admission to PhD programs at LCC or similar institution and eventually become biomedical scientist best suited to translate cancer biology, prevention, and control methods into research that will help alleviate health disparities. The University of the District of Columbia(UDC) and the Georgetown University Medical Center, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center(LCCC) propose to continue their participation in the Bridges to the Doctorate that has been built upon the successful partnership that currently exist due to an NIH/NCI p20 and U56 funding. The proposal will promote initiatives, strategies, and activities that will increase the number of minority students pursuing careers in cancer research. The influx of these minority cancer researchers will help alleviate health disparities in the nation.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区大学（UDC）和乔治敦大学医学中心，伦巴第综合癌症中心（LCCC）建议继续参与博士学位的桥梁，该桥梁是建立在目前由于NIH/NCI p20和U 56资金而存在的成功伙伴关系基础上的。UDC癌症生物学预防和控制硕士学位课程是U 56赠款的产物，由UDC和LCCC联合授课。为了帮助减轻影响哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区的沉重的癌症负担，硕士学位课程的建立是为了提供有竞争力的少数民族学生的知识和信心，将允许从这个MS程序无缝过渡到一个有竞争力的博士学位课程。与美国国立卫生研究院的桥梁博士学位课程的要求一致，我们提出了以下目标，以增加学生的概念学习和技能。(1)更新和实施硕士课程中极具竞争力的课程，并提供课前增强器（PCE），以传授背景知识，帮助掌握以前对类似学生造成困难的课程中发现的材料，（2）通过让学生参加并出席期刊俱乐部和地方和国家科学会议，参加研究技能和教育研讨会，和一个杰出的讲座系列，属于一个过渡兴趣小组（TRIG），一个学生辅导组，（3）为每个硕士生提供一个夏季的研究经验，在一个研究密集型实验室（4）提供一个机会，两名教师从LCCC担任访问教授在UDC。桥梁博士学位课程的目标是研究生硕士水平的学生，他们能够获得LCC或类似机构的博士学位，并最终成为最适合将癌症生物学，预防和控制方法转化为有助于缓解健康差距的研究的生物医学科学家。哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区大学（UDC）和乔治敦大学医学中心，伦巴第综合癌症中心（LCCC）建议继续参与博士学位的桥梁，该桥梁是建立在目前由于NIH/NCI p20和U 56资金而存在的成功伙伴关系基础上的。该提案将促进倡议，战略和活动，这将增加少数民族学生从事癌症研究职业的人数。这些少数民族癌症研究人员的涌入将有助于缓解全国的健康差距。
