Research Training/Education Core

项目总结（见说明）： 佛罗里达A&M大学（FAMU）建议建立一个研究培训/教育核心， 目标是增加对癌症相关研究感兴趣的少数民族博士研究生的数量 研究与他们追求的职业生涯作为生物医学科学家的最终目的。目标 具体目标是：1）确定并重新录取优秀的少数民族候选人，他们表现出获得生物医学博士学位的愿望，重点是癌症; 3）为癌症相关领域的博士生提供五个研究助理;和3）通过制定的课程提供教育培训，使学生能够作为专业人员研究少数群体的健康和健康差距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，提高和加强FAMU学生的研究培训，使我们的年轻科学家更有市场和竞争力，以获得癌症研究的博士后职位。建立一个研究培训/教育核心的企业不仅将在激励和生产更多的代表性不足的少数民族与职业生涯在癌症研究以及生物医学科学的重大影响，但也将加强和提高我们的初级教师的研究能力通过解决少数民族的健康和健康差距在FAMU癌症研究。

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.
