2/2 The Alabama State University/UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership

癌症培训和教育计划(CTEP) 阿拉巴马州立大学(ASU)，一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学之间的合作 (HBCU)和阿拉巴马大学伯明翰综合癌症中心(UAB CCC)提出了一项 培训和教育未来癌症研究科学家的独特机会，重点是 少数族裔调查人员和癌症健康差异研究。 癌症教育计划(CEP)是CTEP不可或缺的一部分，旨在通过以下方式引入课程改革 亚利桑那州立大学致力于教育、吸引和激励少数族裔学生参与癌症研究和教育。 这一努力将通过两个具体目标来实现。1)修订亚利桑那州立大学目前的免疫学课程 增加癌症生物学主题/课程，并在第二年招收学生参加修订后的课程，以及2) 在2-3年级为本科生开设一门癌症生物学课程，并在4年级实施。 在亚利桑那州立大学和亚利桑那州立大学CCC调查人员的审查和建议后，将在亚利桑那州立大学开设生物学课程 以及亚利桑那州立大学的机构课程委员会。该课程的目的是激励和装备 学生通过扩展他们的知识来追求解决癌症和其他健康差距的职业 与癌症研究相关的数据、问题和研究策略。 作为癌症培训计划的一部分，癌症培训计划(CTP)的总体目标是促进研究生 和初级教师在癌症研究方面的培训和发展，以增加少数民族的数量 参与癌症研究的研究人员和/或参与癌症研究的研究人员的数量 与少数族裔人口有关。具体目标是：1)实施结构化健康差异研究 面向博士后研究员、初级教师和过渡教师的培训计划(HDRTP)，有3个职业生涯 培训路径：CBPR、CCPS和BSCR。2)通过以下方式将人类发展研究计划与癌症研究项目联系起来 让亚利桑那州立大学试点项目PIS参与HDRTP，并让HDRTP学者参与研究项目；整合 通过研讨会和赠款申请审查与生物伦理资源合作；并与 通过视频会议讨论和赠款申请审查提供生物统计资源；以及3) 实施评估计划以评估结果。

Cancer Training and Education Program (CTEP) The Partnership between Alabama State University (ASU), a Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) and the University of Alabama Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center (UAB CCC) presents a unique opportunity for training and educating the pipeline of future cancer research scientists, with emphasis on minority investigators and cancer health disparities research. The Cancer Education Program (CEP), an integral part of the CTEP, seeks to introduce curricular reform at ASU to educate, engage and motivate underrepresented minority students in cancer research and education. This effort will be accomplished by two specific aims. 1) To revise the current immunology course at ASU by adding cancer biology topics/course, and enroll students into this revised course in the second year, and 2) To develop, in years 2-3, a Cancer Biology course for undergraduates and implement it during year 4. The Cancer Biology course will be offered at ASU after review and recommendations by ASU and UAB CCC investigators and by the institutional curriculum committee at ASU. The purpose of the course is to motivate and equip students to pursue careers that address cancer and other health disparities by expanding their knowledge of data, issues, and research strategies that relate to cancer research. The overall goal of the Cancer Training Program (CTP), as part of the CTEP, is to facilitate graduate student and junior faculty training and development in cancer research, in order to increase the number of minority investigators involved in cancer research and/or the number of investigators involved in cancer research as it relates to minority populations. Specific Aims are: 1) To implement a structured Health Disparities Research Training Program (HDRTP) for post-doctoral fellows, junior faculty, and transitional faculty, with 3 career training tracks: CBPR, CCPS, and BSCR. 2) To link the HDRTP with the Cancer Research projects by involving the ASU Pilot Project PIs in the HDRTP, and HDRTP scholars in the research projects; to integrate with Bioethics Resources through workshops and grant application reviews; and to integrate with the Biostatistics Resources through video-conference discussions and grant-application reviews; and 3) To implement an evaluation plan to assess outcomes.
