Education & Outreach Unit

摘要(教育和外展股) CR-PSOC的教育和外展股的任务有两个：第一，教育下一个 一代跨学科的科学家将能够扩展和整合视角和 物理科学解决癌症研究领域中复杂科学问题的方法；第二， 促进综合物理科学肿瘤学研究的广泛传播。 该股将采用一种全面的方法来帮助学生和博士后发展技能和 将物理科学观点应用于癌症研究所需的知识库，范围从 为数字知识库创建新的培训模块，以获得身临其境的体验和社区 活动。这一方法将包括一年一度的癌症研究研讨会系列，夏季本科生 研究方案，并在中心网站上建立了录像研讨会和讲习班的数字资料库。 其中许多活动将具有双重目的，通过提供机会将这一知识传播到 更广泛的科学界。此外，该股还将通过以下方式资助青年调查员的交叉培训 参加外部课程、讲习班和会议。该股将主持一年两次的职业生涯 帮助中心研究生和博士后确定和进步的发展研讨会 朝着他们的职业目标前进。将研究生、博士后和初级教员整合到中心和 PS-on将通过参加以演讲和海报为特色的半年一次的中心会议来实现 参加一年一度的PS-on调查员会议。 中心外展活动的目标旨在最大限度地利用中心的中心位置 在芝加哥。它们将包括针对临床医生和癌症的年度物理科学-肿瘤学研讨会 芝加哥大都会地区的研究人员；关于物理汇聚的研讨会 2015年AACR年会上的科学和癌症研究；内容丰富的中心网站；年度 关于物理科学-肿瘤学网络活动的公开圆桌讨论，以及新闻媒体 发布和视频分享中心发现的新闻。该股还将支持竞争性外联活动。 项目计划，将促进与PS-ON之外的调查人员的合作，并提供访问 该中心不提供方法论和仪器。 该股制定了评价所有教育和外联活动的指标，将对这些活动进行跟踪和 每年进行分析，以确定这些计划和活动的有效性。

ABSTRACT (EDUCATION AND OUTREACH UNIT) The mission of the Education and Outreach Unit of the CR-PSOC is two-fold: first, to educate the next generation of transdisciplinary scientists that will be capable of extending and integrating the perspectives and approaches of the physical sciences to complex scientific problems in the field of cancer research; and second, to promote broad dissemination of integrated physical sciences oncology research. The Unit will deploy a holistic approach to helping students and postdocs develop the skills and knowledge base required to apply physical science perspectives to cancer research, ranging from the creation of new training modules to a digital knowledge base to immersive experiences and communal activities. This approach will include an annual Cancer Research Workshop series, a Summer Undergraduate Research Program, and a digital repository for videotaped seminars and workshops on the Center website. Many of these activities will serve a dual purpose by providing an opportunity to disseminate this knowledge to the broader scientific community. In addition, the Unit will fund cross-training of young investigators through participation in external courses, workshops and conferences. The Unit will host a biannual Career Development Workshop to assist Center graduate students and postdocs in identifying and progressing towards their career goals. Integration of graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty into the Center and PS-ON will be achieved through participation in a semi-annual center meeting featuring talks and a poster session and participation in the Annual PS-ON Investigators meeting. The goals of the Center's outreach activities are designed to maximally leverage the Center's central location in Chicago. They will include annual Physical Science-Oncology Workshops aimed at clinicians and cancer researchers across the metropolitan Chicago area; a symposium on the convergence of the physical sciences and cancer research at the 2015 annual AACR meeting; a content-rich Center website; annual public roundtable discussions regarding the activities of the Physical Science-Oncology Network, and press releases and videos sharing news of Center discoveries. The Unit will also support a competitive outreach project program that will foster collaboration with investigators outside of the PS-ON and provide access to methodologies and instrumentation not available within the Center. The Unit has developed metrics for evaluation of all education and outreach activities that will be tracked and analyzed annually to determine the efficacy of these programs and activities.
