Research Education Core

研究教育核心摘要： CDU/UCLA癌症中心合作伙伴关系的研究教育核心是提供和 促进本科生，研究生，医学，博士后，医学 居民，临床研究员和早期研究人员（ESI）进行转化癌症健康差异 research.此外，这一研究教育核心将继续发挥关键作用，提供研究 指导社区伙伴与我们的社区外展核心和卫生服务合作 提供者，包括：社区肿瘤学家，初级保健医生和内科医生参与我们的临床 资源服务核心。研究教育核心将作为其他核心的门户， 癌症教育、护理、治疗和预防。研究教育核心将提供互动和 减少癌症的跨学科和跨学科计划和活动的综合方法 健康差距。核心将提供四个独特的研究经验计划：1）短期8-12周 夏季密集的研究经验，为本科生水平的学生在基础，临床，或以社区为基础的 科学，2）研究生和医学生以及博士后和ESI的研究实习，3）长期- 博士后和ESI的长期研究经验，以及4）社区/学术研究经验， 社区教师学生学者将被安排在CDU或UCLA与导师谁有经验 癌症健康差异和学生的研究兴趣。导师会引导他们假设- 驱动项目。除了实践经验，学者还需要参加科学和 职业发展研讨会和讲习班，研究进展介绍，专业介绍， 手稿开发和赠款提案开发（适用于毕业生到ESI）。核心开发了一个 由CDU和UCLA PI和IAC成员组成的内部指导委员会， 学者的成果，特别是ESIS。将定期报告评价和跟踪结果， 作为规划和评估核心活动的一部分进行讨论。总体目标是开发一个多样化的 学者干部，通过实践研究经验，成为明天的领导人谁解决将 社会、社区和生物医学方面的挑战，这些挑战导致了癌症差异。

RESEARCH EDUCATION CORE ABSTRACT: The CDU/UCLA Cancer Center Partnership's Research Education Core is central component to provide and facilitate research educational experiences for undergraduate, graduate, medical, post-doctoral, medical residents, clinical fellows, and early stage investigators (ESIs) to conduct translational cancer health disparities research. In addition, this Research Education Core will continue to play a critical role in providing research instruction to community partners in partnership with our community outreach core and health service providers that include: community oncologists, primary care physicians and internists engaged in our Clinical Resource Service Core. The Research Education Core will serve as portals to the other cores to enhance cancer education, care, treatment and prevention. The Research Education Core will provde interactive and integrated approaches for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary programs and activities for reducing cancer health disparities. The Core will provide four unique research experience programs: 1) a short-term 8-12 week summer intensive research experience for undergraduate-level students in basic, clinical, or community-based science, 2) research internships for graduate and medical students and for post-doctoral and ESIs, 3) long- term research experiences for post-doctoral and ESIs, and 4) a community/academic research experience for community faculty. Student scholars will be placed either at CDU or UCLA with mentors who have experience in cancer health disparities and the student's research interest. The mentor will guide them on a hypothesis- driven project. In addition to hands-on experience, scholars are required to participate in both scientific and career-development seminars and workshops, research-in-progress presentations, professional presentations, manuscript development, and grant proposal development (for graduate to ESIs). The Core has developed an Internal Mentoring Committee composed of CDU and UCLA PIs and IAC members to review the individualized outcomes of scholars, particularly ESIs. Evaluation and Tracking outcomes will be regularly reported and discussed as part of the Planning and Evaluation Core activities. The overarching goal is to develop a diverse cadre of scholars, through hands-on research experiences, into tomorrow's leaders who address will the social, community-based, and biomedical challenges which contribute to cancer disparities.
