3E. Training Core Principal Investigators: Jani C. Ingrann, PhD, Associate Professor, NAU Margaret M. Briehl, PhD, Professor, UACC The overall goal of the Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention (NACP) is to eliminate cancer disparities in Native Americans of the southwest. The University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) and Northern Arizona University (NAU) as NACP, partner with tribal communities to develop research, outreach, and training activities aimed at defining and eliminating obstacles to health equity in areas of Native American cancer incidence, mortality, and survivorship. The overall goal of the proposed NACP Training Core is to provide Native American students with mentoring and research experiences of importance to their own communities to help them achieve their individualized career development plans in cancer-related research. The proposed program will be jointly led by Northern Arizona University and UACC. The proposed program will partner with institutionalized and/or currently funded programs at NAU and UACC to enhance the opportunities for Native American students, faculty, and staff to develop their research training in cancer-related biomedical fields. The proposed core was developed based on the evaluation of previous NACP training activities. We plan to continue one-on-one student research experiences with faculty as well as establish a structured professional development plan for all those involved with NACP (students, staff, faculty). The achievements of the previous two-funding cycles include training 317 total students of which 189 were Native American. Our 6-year baccalaureate graduation rate for NACP Native American students for the past funding cycle was 63% which is substantially higher than the national average for Native American students at 38%. Additionally, we have secured external funding for activities that were developed by NACP allowing our Core to increase our training capacity. We propose to build on this success by implementing activities aimed at transitioning a greater number of Native American students into graduate programs. The synergy between the Outreach, Research, and Training Cores is key to addressing health disparities for Native American communities. The Training Core provides assistance for the Outreach and Developmental Cores for recruitment and retention of Native American students for projects that both train the students in research methods and utilize their talents to enhance the projects with their knowledge of culture and community. The Training Core facilitates a number of activities that allow students at all levels (from incoming freshmen to graduate students) to be involved in NACP projects. The Training Core will work directly with Native American student services as well as research and outreach investigators at both NAU and UA to identify and recruit Native American students for specific projects that match the talents of the students and the needs of the projects. Further, the Training Core will work directly with the students on independent development plans to assist them in their pursuit of advanced degrees that will train them to address cancer health disparities in their communities. Specific Aims for the proposed Training Core are: Specific Aim 1) Mentor Native American students to succeed in their undergraduate studies and expose them to hands-on research and Native American role models. Our goal each year will be to expose 13 Native American students to hands-on research experiences per year, and an additional 50 Native American students to cancer-related research through other activities. We will aim for a 75% graduation rate for these students. Specific Aim 2) Provide activities to successfully transition Native American undergraduate students into advanced degree programs which will train them to address cancer health disparities in their communities. Our goal is to engage 22 Native American students per year. For the full project period, we are aiming to successfully mentor at least 25 Native American to transition into an advanced degree program. Specific Aim 3) Mentor NACP junior faculty and provide cultural competency training in partnership with the Outreach Core for all NACP faculty and staff

3 E。训练岩心 主要研究者：Jani C. Ingrann，博士，副教授，NAU 玛格丽特·M Briehl，博士，UACC教授 美洲原住民癌症预防伙伴关系（NACP）的总体目标是消除西南部美洲原住民的癌症差异。亚利桑那大学癌症中心（UACC）和北方亚利桑那大学（NAU）作为NACP，与部落社区合作开展研究，推广和培训活动，旨在确定和消除美洲原住民癌症发病率，死亡率和生存率领域的健康公平障碍。 拟议的NACP培训核心的总体目标是为美洲原住民学生提供对他们自己的社区具有重要意义的指导和研究经验，以帮助他们在癌症相关研究中实现个性化的职业发展计划。拟议的计划将由北方亚利桑那大学和UACC联合领导。拟议的计划将与NAU和UACC的制度化和/或目前资助的计划合作，以提高美洲原住民学生，教师和工作人员在癌症相关生物医学领域开展研究培训的机会。拟议的核心方案是根据对国家有色人种协进会以往培训活动的评价制定的。我们计划继续一对一的学生与教师的研究经验，以及建立一个结构化的专业发展计划，为所有参与与NACP（学生，工作人员，教师）。前两个供资周期的成就包括培训了317名学生，其中189名是美洲土著人。在过去的资助周期中，NACP美国土著学生的6年制学士学位毕业率为63%，大大高于美国土著学生的全国平均水平38%。此外，我们还为全国有色人种协进会制定的活动获得了外部资金，使我们的核心能够提高我们的培训能力。我们建议在这一成功的基础上，实施旨在将更多美国原住民学生转入研究生课程的活动。 外展、研究和培训核心之间的协同作用是解决美洲原住民社区健康差距的关键。培训核心为外联和发展核心提供援助，以招募和保留美洲土著学生，用于培训学生研究方法并利用他们的才能以他们的文化和社区知识加强项目的项目。培训核心促进了一系列活动，使各级学生（从新生到研究生）参与NACP项目。培训核心将直接与美国原住民学生服务以及NAU和UA的研究和外联调查人员合作，以确定和招募美国原住民学生参与符合学生才能和项目需求的特定项目。此外，培训核心将直接与学生合作，制定独立的发展计划，帮助他们攻读高级学位，培训他们解决社区中的癌症健康差距。 拟议的培训核心的具体目标是： 具体目标1）指导美洲原住民学生在本科学习中取得成功，并让他们接触到实践研究和美洲原住民榜样。我们每年的目标是让13名美国原住民学生每年获得实践研究经验，另外50名美国原住民学生通过其他活动进行癌症相关研究。我们的目标是使这些学生的毕业率达到75%。 具体目标2）提供活动，成功地过渡到美国本土本科生的高级学位课程，这将训练他们解决癌症健康的差距在他们的社区。我们的目标是每年吸引22名美国原住民学生。在整个项目期间，我们的目标是成功地指导至少25名美国原住民过渡到高级学位课程。 具体目标3）指导NACP初级教师，并与所有NACP教师和工作人员的外展核心合作提供文化能力培训
