ABSTRACT: Disparities in cancer incidence, mortality and morbidity continue to exist within the Hispanic population. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Puerto Rico (PR), yet cancer research awareness and opportunities remain somewhat limited on the Island. Nationwide there continues to be a paucity of Hispanic, including Puerto Rican, clinical and basic science faculty with a focus on cancer. This negatively impacts progress in reducing health disparities in the Hispanic population. The overall long-term obiective of the Training/Career Development Core of the Ponce School of Medicine/Moffitt Cancer Center (PSM/MCC) Partnership is to increase the numbers and success of basic science investigators and clinical research scientists focused on enhancing cancer research for the PR population. This training core will accomplish these goals through enhancement of the academic, research, and professional competence of both the underrepresented minority students and those serving these populations. The speciflc measurable objectives of the Training/Career Development Core are as follows: (1) to build a cancer research track for Ph.D. students at PSM to increase the number of basic science cancer investigators and enhance cancer research focused on the Puerto Rican population; (2) to build a clinical training pipeline of medical students and fellows to enhance clinical cancer, research and treatment of the PR population; and (3) to enhance career development of partnership junior investigators. To achieve these objectives we will capture eariy career PhD graduate students in Puerto Rico, immersing them in a cancer research environment. A reciprocal research exchange of PhD students from the MCC Cancer Center and integrated health disparities education will develop a strong network of basic scientists to address cancer disparities issues. Second, we will establish an oncology track for PSM medical students. Third, this Core will support a unique clinical research training experience for oncology fellows on the island. This novel oncology fellowship program will provide coordinated training in clinical trials and translational research at MCC, PSM, San Juan VA Medical Hospital and San Juan City Hospital. Fourth, the Core will support the| career development plans of the Partnership.faculty mentees to build research capacity at PSM. Networking ofi the ti-ainees and junior faculty through shared developmental workshops and long-term interactions will fully integrate the trainees and support establishment of successful cancer research careers on the island. Critical evaluation and tracking of the career paths of the trainees and junior faculty mentees will assess program effectiveness, and provide feedback for improving the education and training components of the Core. Successful outcomes from these goals will enhance the numbers and achievements of Puerto Rican cancer investigators, contribute to a long-term cancer research training infrastructure at PSM, and augment cancer research aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the Hispanic population in both Puerto Rico and Florida. The Training/Career Development Core will complement and leverage the existing programs at both MCC and PSM to significantly enhance the overall Partnership objectives by providing a better trained workforce to conduct cancer related research with the momentum to create new research initiatives addressing the health disparities found in Hispanic populations.

摘要： 西班牙裔人口中癌症发病率、死亡率和发病率的差异继续存在。癌 是波多黎各（PR）的第二大死亡原因，但癌症研究意识和机会 在岛上的活动仍然有限。全国范围内仍然缺乏西班牙裔，包括 波多黎各，临床和基础科学学院，重点是癌症。这对以下方面的进展产生了负面影响： 减少西班牙裔人口的健康差距。培训/职业生涯的总体长期目标 Ponce医学院/Moffitt癌症中心（PSM/MCC）合作伙伴关系的发展核心是 增加基础科学研究人员和临床研究科学家的数量和成功， 加强PR人群的癌症研究。该培训中心将通过以下方式实现这些目标： 提高代表性不足的少数民族和少数民族的学术、研究和专业能力; 学生和为这些人群服务的人。培训/职业的具体可衡量目标 发展核心是：（1）建立癌症博士研究轨道;学生在PSM增加 基础科学癌症研究人员的数量和加强癌症研究的重点是波多黎各人 人口;（2）建立医学生和研究员的临床培训管道，以提高临床癌症水平， 研究和治疗的PR人口;和（3）加强事业发展的伙伴关系初级 investigators.为了实现这些目标，我们将捕捉早期职业博士研究生在波多黎各， 让他们沉浸在癌症研究的环境中博士生的互惠研究交流， MCC癌症中心和综合健康差距教育将发展一个强大的网络， 科学家致力于解决癌症差异问题。其次，我们将为PSM医疗建立肿瘤学轨道 学生第三，该核心将为肿瘤学研究员提供独特的临床研究培训经验， 岛这个新的肿瘤学奖学金计划将提供临床试验的协调培训， 在MCC，PSM，圣胡安VA医疗医院和圣胡安市医院进行转化研究。四是 核心将支持|伙伴关系的职业发展计划。教师学员建立研究能力， PSM。通过共享的发展研讨会和长期的培训， 互动将充分整合学员，并支持建立成功的癌症研究事业， 岛上对受训人员和初级教员学员的职业道路进行严格评估和跟踪， 评估计划的有效性，并提供反馈，以改善教育和培训的组成部分， 核心的这些目标的成功结果将提高波多黎各人的人数和成就， 癌症研究人员，为PSM的长期癌症研究培训基础设施做出贡献， 癌症研究旨在改善西班牙裔人口的癌症诊断和治疗， 波多黎各和佛罗里达。培训/职业发展核心将补充和利用现有的 MCC和PSM的计划，通过提供 经过更好培训的工作人员进行癌症相关研究，并有动力进行新的研究 解决西班牙裔人口健康差距的举措。
