Research Training/Education Core

项目摘要（参见说明）： 佛罗里达农工大学 (FAMU) 提议建立一个研究培训/教育核心，其 目标是增加对癌症相关领域感兴趣的少数族裔博士研究生的数量 研究的最终目的是追求生物医学科学家的职业生涯。目标 拟议拨款的具体目的是： 1）确定并重新推荐表现出获得生物医学科学博士学位（重点是癌症）的杰出少数族裔候选人； 3）为癌症相关领域的博士生提供5个研究助理奖学金； 3）通过开发的课程提供教育培训，让学生做好对少数民族健康和健康差异进行研究的准备，作为癌症研究的专门培训。博士生研究部分将通过提供两门新课程（健康差异/少数民族问题和癌症生物学）和发展研究技能，使我们的年轻科学家在获得癌症研究领域的博士后职位时更具市场竞争力和竞争力，从而增强和强化 FAMU 学生的研究培训。建立研究培训/教育核心的冒险不仅将对激励和培养更多代表性不足的少数群体从事癌症研究和生物医学科学的职业产生重大影响，而且还将通过解决少数群体的健康和健康差异，加强和提高 FAMU 癌症研究初级教师的研究能力。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Florida A&M University (FAMU) proposes to establish a Research Training/Educational Core whose goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minority PhD graduate students with interest in cancerrelated research with the ultimate purpose of them pursuing careers as Biomedical Scientists. The objectives and specific aims of the proposed grant are to: 1) identify and recmit outstanding minority candidates, who demonstrate a desire to obtain a doctoral degree in the biomedical sciences with emphasis in cancer; 3) provide five research assistantships for PhD students in cancer related areas; and 3) provide educational training through a developed curricula to prepare students to conduct research on minority health and health disparities as specialized training in cancer research The doctoral student research component will enhance and strengthen the research training of its students at FAMU by delivering two new courses (Health Disparities/Minorities Issues and Cancer Biology) and by developing research skills to make our young scientists more marketable and competitive to obtain post doctoral positions in cancer research. The venture of establishing a Research Training/Educational Core will not only have a significant impact in motivating and producing more underrepresented minorities with careers In cancer research as well as the biomedical sciences, but will also strengthen and enhance the research capabilities of our junior faculty in cancer research at FAMU by addressing minority health and health disparities.
