Education, Training, and Outreach Program

为我们的CCSB开发一个强大的教育组件是一个坚定的企业，因为GUMC已经移动 在整个我们的enfire校园扩展系统生物学的研究和教育的方向significanfiy。 我们已经提供与CCSB的教育和培训目标直接相关的多个项目。 其中一些活动发生在肿瘤生物学的跨学科MS学位（由Dr. Hilakivi-Clarke，项目3），一项由NCI资助的肿瘤生物学研究生和博士后研究员培训补助金 （T32-CA 009686），以及一个受资助的癌症生物学、预防和控制合作教育项目， 哥伦比亚特区大学，一所历史上的黑人大学（U 56-CA 101429）。我们还将 与其他CCSB合作，扩大专门针对CCSB成员和 乔治城大学/弗吉尼亚州技术/气候变化框架公约社区，以及ICBP计划和 更广泛的科学界。本次CCSB的教育、培训和推广活动将 由癌症系统生物学领域公认的专家开发、领导和提供， 生物信息学和计算建模。这种高度 教师的综合小组，他们的背景，培训，正在进行的研究和教育活动 建立他们的集体能力来完成我们在这里提出的活动。

Developing a strong educafional component for our CCSB is a fimely enterprise because GUMC has moved significanfiy in the direcfion of extending research and educafion in systems biology across our enfire campus. We already offer mulfiple programs immediately relevant to the educafional and training goals of this CCSB. Several of these activities occur within an interdisciplinary MS degree in Tumor Biology (directed by Dr. Hilakivi-Clarke, Project 3), a NCI-funded training grant in Tumor Biology for graduate and postdoctoral fellows (T32-CA009686), and a funded collaborative educafion program in cancer biology, prevenfion, and control with the University of the District of Columbia, a Historically Black University (U56-CA101429). We will also collaborate with other CCSBs to extend educafional activities directed specifically to CCSB members and the Georgetown University/VA Tech/FCCC communities, and to those targeted across the ICBP program and the broader scientific community. The educational, training, and outreach activities in this CCSB will be developed, led, and delivered by acknowledged experts in the fields of cancer systems biology, bioinformatics, and computational modeling at Georgetown University and Virginia Tech. This highly integrated group of faculty, their backgrounds, training, ongoing research, and educational activities establish their collective ability to complete the activities we propose here.
