DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to develop and execute a cancer prevention and control curriculum training program at the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) that will help prepare professional students in public health and in the biomedical sciences for positions in cancer prevention and control research. The curriculum will be based on a framework for addressing cancer prevention and control from bench to bedside to community and will emphasize research targeted at reduction and elimination of cancer disparities. It will include courses that will provide the students with a suitable knowledge base in the areas of cancer epidemiology and cancer prevention and control and that will teach them how to do research in cancer prevention and control and to develop interventions to reduce disparities; practicum experiences designed to enhance the understanding and application of knowledge and research findings in cancer prevention and control to public health settings by providing an opportunity to gain practical experience, at an appropriate level and content, in the field of cancer prevention and control; and opportunities to conduct research in cancer prevention and control under the guidance of cancer researchers. The faculty of this training program will be drawn from the various graduate teaching programs at MSM, thereby integrating it into MSM training programs. The curriculum will be developed in year one, and it will be offered to students in MSM's Master of Public Health, Master of Science in Clinical Research, Doctor of Medicine and Minority Summer Public Health Fellowship programs. An evaluation plan will be implemented to constantly monitor the program and assess its success in achieving its goals and objectives, and the results will be used for ongoing improvement. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: There is a tremendous need in the US to increase the number of minority scientists, particularly in academic medicine. Although African Americans suffer from major health disparities, less than 1% of investigator-initiated grant dollars go to Historically Black Colleges/Universities (HBCU) and less than 1% of R01-funded research is awarded to African American researchers. This R25 grant will help to ensure that investigators at the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), an HBCU, can play a major role in cancer research by creating a cadre of public health and health care professionals at MSM who have an increased capacity to describe health disparities related to cancer and associated mechanisms over time and across the cancer continuum, and by strengthening the skills and level of competence of MSM graduates in preparation for their inclusion in the public health workforce in the field of cancer prevention and control.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是在莫尔豪斯医学院 (MSM) 开发和执行癌症预防和控制课程培训计划，该计划将帮助公共卫生和生物医学科学领域的专业学生为癌症预防和控制研究职位做好准备。该课程将基于从实验室到临床到社区的癌症预防和控制框架，并将强调旨在减少和消除癌症差异的研究。它将包括为学生提供癌症流行病学和癌症预防和控制领域合适的知识基础的课程，并教他们如何进行癌症预防和控制方面的研究以及制定减少差距的干预措施；旨在通过提供在癌症预防和控制领域获得适当水平和内容的实践经验的机会，加强对癌症预防和控制知识和研究成果在公共卫生环境中的理解和应用；以及在癌症研究人员的指导下进行癌症预防和控制研究的机会。该培训项目的师资将从 MSM 的各个研究生教学项目中抽调，从而将其整合到 MSM 培训项目中。该课程将在第一年开发，并将提供给 MSM 公共卫生硕士、临床研究理学硕士、医学博士和少数族裔夏季公共卫生奖学金项目的学生。将实施评估计划来持续监控该计划并评估其在实现其目的和目标方面是否成功，结果将用于持续改进。 公共卫生相关性：美国非常需要增加少数族裔科学家的数量，特别是在学术医学领域。尽管非裔美国人面临着巨大的健康差异，但只有不到 1% 的研究者发起的资助资金流向历史黑人学院/大学 (HBCU)，只有不到 1% 的 R01 资助的研究奖励给了非裔美国研究人员。这笔 R25 拨款将有助于确保莫尔豪斯医学院 (MSM) (HBCU) 的研究人员能够在癌症研究中发挥重要作用，方法是在 MSM 建立一支公共卫生和医疗保健专业人员骨干队伍，提高描述与癌症相关的健康差异以及跨癌症连续体的相关机制的能力，并加强 MSM 毕业生的技能和能力水平，为他们纳入该领域的公共卫生队伍做好准备 癌症预防和控制。
