San Diego State University Advancing Cancer Careers for ExceLlence (ACCEL)

项目总结/摘要 圣地亚哥州立大学的推进癌症职业卓越（ACCEL）计划，与 加州圣地亚哥大学（UCSD）Moores癌症中心将提供70名SDSU博士后研究员 和研究生，每年有一个协调和创新的资源阵列，以支持卓越， 癌症研究科学力量的包容和转变。ACCEL将利用现有基础设施 并制定新的方案，以a）扩大和加强代表性不足（UR）学者的管道 从事癌症研究;和B）扩大SDSU的能力，以支持和促进UR的前和博士后 癌症研究学者 为了实现这些更大的目标，制定了三个不同的互补目标。领导的 培训冠军（TC）团队具有不同领域的专业知识，ACCEL计划将a）实施指导 活动和社区建设的参与，减少孤立感，增加 属于增加博士生和博士后学者参与和保留在癌症研究; B）提供结构化的支持服务，包括为博士生提供技能发展课程， 博士后学者，以扩大在癌症研究的进展，并促进科学的多样性， 劳动力;以及c）为SDSU的学生和学者建立定制和可持续的联系，以现有的支持 通过国家癌症研究所和其他合作伙伴提供资源。 虽然ACCEL计划的开发和实施将大大受益于与 现有的合作伙伴和计划，包括加州大学圣地亚哥摩尔癌症中心，SDSU-UCSD CREATE 癌症伙伴关系和NCI减少癌症健康差异中心（CRCHD）培训导航， ACCEL还将引入创新方法，以解决隔离问题，建立社区和归属感， 与技能建设相结合。

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT San Diego State University’s Advancing Cancer Careers for ExceLlence (ACCEL) Program, in partnership with University of California San Diego (UCSD) Moores Cancer Center, will provide 70 SDSU postdoctoral fellows and graduate students each year with a coordinated and innovative array of resources to support excellence, inclusion and transformation of the cancer research science force. ACCEL will leverage existing infrastructure and develop new programming to a) expand and strengthen the pipeline of underrepresented (UR) scholars pursuing cancer research; and b) broaden SDSU’s capacity to support and advance UR pre- and postdoctoral cancer research scholars. Three distinct and complimentary aims have been developed to meet these larger objectives. Led by a Training Champion (TC) team with diverse areas of expertise, the ACCEL program will a) implement mentoring activities and community-building engagement that reduce feelings of isolation and increase sense of belonging to increase doctoral student and postdoctoral scholar participation and retention in cancer research; b) provide structured support services including skills development courses for doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars to broaden advancement in cancer research and promote diversity in the scientific workforce; and c) build tailored and sustainable linkages for SDSU students and scholars to existing support and resources through the National Cancer Institute and other partners. While ACCEL program development and implementation will benefit greatly from strong integration with existing partners and programs including the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, SDSU-UCSD CREATE Cancer Partnership, and the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) training navigation, ACCEL will also introduce innovative methodologies to address isolation and build community and belonging in tandem with skills building.
