PROJECT SUMMARY The Southwest Transformative Educational Advancement and Mentoring (STEAM) network leverages partnerships at the University of New Mexico (UNM), New Mexico State University (NMSU), Northern Arizona University (NAU), and Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) to strengthen the career pipeline for pre- and post-doctoral trainees and Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) engaged in cancer and cancer health disparities (CHD) research. As Hispanic and Minority Serving Institutions, each of these institutions is poised to make much- needed improvements in diversifying the CHD workforce in the Southwest region in the coming years. The STEAM network affords many reciprocal benefits to the partners based on unique resources and training opportunities at each of the partner institutions. Training Champions (TCs) representative of the minoritized communities in the Southwest and who have training and expertise in cancer research will serve as role models and near-peer mentors at each institution. TCs will have central roles in helping trainees to identify paths to achieve their training and career goals. TCs will contribute to cancer research and skill building for underrepresented minority pre- and post-doctoral students, as well as provide vital navigation support to ESIs pursuing careers in cancer and CHD research. TCs will: 1) provide scholars with access to a comprehensive array of resources and technical and professional career skill building tools to promote professional development and attainment of educational and career goals; 2) facilitate scientific community engagement by linking trainees in a diverse, multi-site and interdisciplinary network; 3) offer culturally responsive cancer and cancer health disparities focused curricula; 4) aid in identifying mentoring opportunities; 5) assure inter-programmatic connectivity. Southwestern populations across New Mexico and Arizona experience high rates of poverty, health disparities, insufficient attainment of higher education, and geographic diversity that limits access to scientific education and professional development opportunities. Formal connections of STEAM founding institutions will ensure that trainees have greater access to the research education and training expertise of each institution to meet the following objectives: 1) disseminate National Cancer Institute and Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities priorities, and professional development offerings across an established and growing network; 2) facilitate continued development of talent from the region's unique populations and those underrepresented in cancer research through the provision of targeted cancer curricula and research skills training; 3) ensure persistence and successful transitions beyond pre-/post-doctoral training through targeted mentoring and programmatic offerings for early stage investigators that prepare them to assume productive cancer research or health careers.

项目摘要 西南变革性的教育发展和指导（Steam）网络利用 北亚利桑那州新墨西哥州大学（NMSU）的新墨西哥大学（UNM）的合作伙伴关系 大学（NAU）和伯雷尔骨病学院（BCOM），以加强预科 以及从事癌症和癌症健康差异的早期学员和早期研究人员（ESI） （CHD）研究。作为西班牙裔和少数派服务机构，这些机构都准备好大大 在未来几年中，需要改善西南地区的CHD劳动力。这 Steam Network基于独特的资源和培训为合作伙伴提供了许多相互利益 每个合作伙伴机构的机会。少数化的培训冠军（TCS）代表 西南部的社区以及在癌症研究中拥有培训和专业知识的社区将成为榜样 和每个机构的近点导师。 TCS将在帮助学员确定通往的途径方面具有核心作用 实现他们的培训和职业目标。 TCS将为癌症研究和技能构建做出贡献 代表性不足的少数族裔前和博士后学生，并为ESI提供重要的导航支持 从事癌症和CHD研究的职业。 TCS将：1）为学者提供综合的访问权限 一系列资源，技术和职业职业技能建设工具，以促进专业发展 并实现教育和职业目标； 2）通过联系受训者来促进科学社区的参与 在多样化的多站点和跨学科网络中； 3）提供具有文化反应的癌症和癌症健康 差异集中在课程中； 4）帮助确定指导机会； 5）确保程序间 连接性。新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州的西南人口经历了较高的贫困率，健康 差异，高等教育的成就不足以及地理多样性限制了获得科学的访问 教育和专业发展机会。蒸汽创始机构的正式联系将 确保受训人员可以更多地获得每个机构的研究教育和培训专业知识 达到以下目标：1）传播国家癌症研究所和中心以减少癌症健康 差异优先事项以及在建立和不断增长的网络中的专业发展产品； 2） 促进该地区独特人口的持续发展人才，而人才的人数不足 通过提供有针对性的癌症课程和研究技能培训的癌症研究； 3）确保 通过有针对性的指导和 早期调查人员的程序化产品，他们准备他们进行生产性癌症研究或 医疗职业。
