Sexual and Gender Minority Cancer Curricular Advances for Research and Education (SGM Cancer CARE)

需要一支经过培训的卫生工作者队伍，以开展包括性和性别少数群体（SGM）在内的癌症研究 寻求全面癌症护理的SGM人员，包括预防，筛查，治疗， 生存护理。对SGM人群的研究描述了许多SGM癌症差异。越来越 一些SGM个体的研究记录了癌症风险因素的增加， 癌症，以及更差的癌症结果。此外，SGM群体高度多样化， 独特而多样的护理需求。尽管关注SGM种群的研究机构不断增加， 在特定SGM癌症风险因素和癌症治疗经验的知识方面存在差距， 制定循证干预措施，以优化整个癌症护理连续性的肿瘤护理， 预防生存。由于没有国家可用的资源定期培训和准备肿瘤学 和SGM癌症研究的生物医学劳动力，我们的短期目标是建立和促进 SGM癌症护理（Sexual and Gender Minority Cancer Curricular Advances） 研究和教育），该公司招募和定向早期职业和初级调查员到SGM 癌症研究和促进富有成效的合作。该课程是由多个机构设计的 学科、多机构项目小组和专家咨询委员会， SGM人群的经验和对关键领域的深入了解，包括癌症研究， 临床护理、课程开发和卫生保健宣传。具体目标：（1）提供SGM癌症 每年为30名在全国范围内征聘的早期职业调查员举办援外社课程， 对SGM癌症研究感兴趣的专业人员使用专业课程，多式联运 战略，网络工具和创新的教学方法;（2）促进专业发展， 通过提供指导和讲习班后研讨会， SGM癌症护理课程。这些会议将重点关注SGM癌症研究不足领域的新主题 研究，以及为参与者提供接触潜在的SGM研究导师和职业生涯 发展指导;（3）通过评估和更新课程，最大限度地提高课程的功效 加强和教学创新，促进多模式传播。核心模块包括临床癌症 研究，行为科学和干预措施，流行病学和人口水平的研究，社区， SGM癌症研究、数据收集和移动健康/电子健康平台的参与式方法，以及 推进SGM研究。本课程设计将适用于面对面模式，混合学习， 和/或仅在线格式，以应对与COVID-19相关的研究和教育限制 流行病SGM癌症护理课程的长期目标是增加专业人员的数量 能够领导和倡导研究，以减少SGM癌症差异，并促进SGM健康公平。

A health workforce trained to conduct sexual and gender minority (SGM)-inclusive cancer research is needed for SGM persons seeking comprehensive cancer care, including prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship care. Research on SGM populations has described many SGM cancer disparities. A growing number of studies of SGM individuals have documented increased exposure to cancer risk factors and certain cancers, as well as poorer cancer outcomes. Moreover, SGM groups are highly diverse, presenting with unique and varied care needs. Although the body of research focused on SGM populations continues to grow, gaps persist in the knowledge of specific SGM cancer risk factors and cancer treatment experiences critical for developing evidence-based interventions to optimize oncology care across the cancer care continuum—from prevention to survivorship. As no nationally available resource routinely trains and prepares the oncology and biomedical workforce for SGM cancer research, our short-term goal is to establish and promote a foundational curriculum, SGM Cancer CARE (Sexual and Gender Minority Cancer Curricular Advances for Research and Education), that recruits and orients early-career and junior investigators to SGM cancer research and fosters productive collaborations. The curriculum has been designed by a multi- disciplinary, multi-institutional project team and expert advisory committee that bring national perspective and experience with SGM populations and in-depth knowledge across key areas, including cancer research, clinical care, curriculum development, and health care advocacy. Specific Aims: (1) Offer the SGM Cancer CARE course annually to 30 early-career investigators recruited nationally from a broad audience of professionals interested in SGM cancer research using a specialized curriculum, multimodal delivery strategies, networking tools, and innovative teaching methods; (2) Facilitate professional development and research success for participants by providing orientation and post-workshop seminars to complement the SGM Cancer CARE course. These sessions will focus on new topics in under-studied areas of SGM cancer research, as well as provide participants with exposure to potential SGM research mentors and career development guidance; and (3) maximize the efficacy of the course by evaluating and updating curricular enhancements and teaching innovations for multimodal dissemination. Core modules include clinical cancer research, behavioral sciences and interventions, epidemiology and population-level research, community- based participatory approach for SGM cancer research, data collection and mHealth/eHealth platforms, and advancing SGM research(ers). This course design will be adaptable for in-person modality, blended learning, and/or online-only formats in response to the research and education restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The long-term goal of the SGM Cancer CARE course is to increase the number of professionals able to lead and advocate for research to reduce SGM cancer disparities and to advance SGM health equity.
