Outreach Core

项目摘要/总结 SASCO外展核心将促进系统生物学在癌症研究中的广泛应用， 弗吉尼亚大学（UVA）;传播和增加计算和实验的可及性 在SASCO中心内开发的癌症研究企业的方法;并招募 来自不同背景的研究人员、癌症生物学家和临床医生的参与，以丰富研究 中心的环境。外联核心将采取三项举措。首先，来自 全国各地将通过现有的SASCO实验室参加夏季研究经验， 杰出的暑期研究实习计划在医学和工程与应用学院 科学其次，我们将制作一系列三个25分钟的视频，旨在向临床医生介绍 实现临床医生和系统之间更强协作的系统概念和方法 生物学家这些视频将在临床和转化科学奖中进行试点，以提高其有效性。 该计划包括弗吉尼亚大学和弗吉尼亚联邦的其他健康中心。第三，SASCO 外展核心将使夏季实习生在居住的位置，为教师的历史黑人学院， 大学（HBCUs）在SASCO实验室开发研究项目。第三个目标的目标是， 在HBCU建立基于系统的研究项目，并提高系统方法在其 课程。外展核心与中心的计划协同作用，通过参与来增强多元化观点 在SASCO研究中，从本科到教师层次的历史边缘群体的个人 主题.

PROJECT ABSTRACT/SUMMARY The SASCO Outreach Core will serve to promote the broad use of systems biology in cancer research beyond the University of Virginia (UVA); disseminate and increase accessibility of computational and experimental approaches developed within the SASCO Center to the cancer research enterprise; and recruit the involvement of investigators, cancer biologists, and clinicians from diverse backgrounds to enrich the research and environment of the Center. The Outreach Core will pursue three initiatives. First, undergraduates from around the country will participate in summer research experiences in SASCO laboratories through existing outstanding summer research internship programs at the Schools of Medicine and Engineering & Applied Science. Second, we will develop a series of three 25-minute videos designed to introduce clinicians to systems concepts and approaches toward enabling stronger collaborations between clinicians and systems biologists. The videos will be piloted for effectiveness within a Clinical and Translational Science Award program that includes UVA and other health centers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Third, the SASCO Outreach Core will enable summer scholar-in-residence positions for faculty of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to develop research projects in SASCO laboratories. The goal of this third aim is to both establish systems-based research projects at HBCUs and increase the visibility of systems approaches in their curricula. The Outreach Core synergizes with the Center’s Plan to Enhance Diverse Perspectives by engaging individuals from historically marginalized groups at the undergraduate to faculty levels in SASCO research themes.
