项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) proposes to establish a Cancer Research and Education Academy (the Academy) in conjunction with the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) at Georgetown University Medical Center. It is designed for science students who have an interest in entering cancer research careers. The Academy is a natural progression of the cancer partnership between UDC and LCCC, established in 2000, to address the heavy cancer burden among African American in the Washington, D.C Metropolitan Area. The new Academy will provide a pipe-line of undergraduate student to enter the jointly administered and jointly taught Masters Program in Cancer Biology, Prevention and Control and provide academic and non-academic support that allows students to built confidence to successfully pursue more advanced degrees. The goal of the Academy is to promote initiatives, strategies, and activities that will increase the number of minority students pursing careers in cancer research in an attempt to address health disparities. The Masters Program will be incorporated into the Academy that will consist of an Education and a Research core. Each core will have a mentoring and academic enrichment focus. The Education core will utilize a highly competitive curriculum that allows for undergraduates to major in biology with a cancer option and to enrich the current curriculum in Masters Program. Functions of the Academy include: (a) initiating new cancer courses and enhancing several pre-existing cancer courses; (b) implementing research-based instruction; (c) placing community outreach in specific courses; and (d) and utilizing scientific experts in classroom settings. The Research core will provide each undergraduate and graduate student with an academic year and summer cancer research experience in a research laboratory at LCCC, UDC. In addition to presenting research papers at scientific meetings, student will have as series of enrichment activities e.g. research skills workshops, career workshops, distinguished lectures, and cancer seminars and membership in a Journal Club. There will be a strong multi-tiered mentoring program for both undergraduate and graduate students. The Academy will engage students in systematic approaches to learning and create and enable students to negotiate a successful transition at each level of more specialized academic training.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区大学（UDC）提议与乔治敦大学医学中心的伦巴第综合癌症中心（LCCC）联合建立癌症研究和教育学院（学院）。它是专为有兴趣进入癌症研究职业的理科学生设计的。该学院是UDC和LCCC之间癌症伙伴关系的自然发展，成立于2000年，旨在解决华盛顿大都会区非洲裔美国人的沉重癌症负担。新学院将提供本科生的管道线进入联合管理和联合教授的癌症生物学，预防和控制硕士课程，并提供学术和非学术支持，让学生建立信心，成功地追求更高的学位。该学院的目标是促进倡议，战略和活动，这将增加少数民族学生追求职业生涯在癌症研究，试图解决健康差距的数量。硕士课程将被纳入学院，将包括一个教育和研究核心。每个核心将有一个指导和学术充实的重点。教育核心将利用一个高度竞争的课程，允许本科生主修生物学与癌症的选择，并丰富目前的硕士课程。该学院的职能包括：（a）开设新的癌症课程，并加强一些原有的癌症课程;（B）实施以研究为基础的教学;（c）在具体课程中开展社区外联活动;（d）在课堂上利用科学专家。研究核心将为每个本科生和研究生提供一个学年和夏季在LCCC，UDC的研究实验室进行癌症研究的经验。除了在科学会议上发表研究论文外，学生还将参加一系列丰富活动，例如研究技能研讨会，职业研讨会，杰出讲座，癌症研讨会和期刊俱乐部会员。将有一个强大的多层次的指导计划，为本科生和研究生。该学院将让学生参与系统的学习方法，并创造和使学生能够在更专业的学术培训的每一个层次上成功过渡。
