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 西南变革教育促进和指导（STEAM）网络利用 在新墨西哥州大学（UNM）、新墨西哥州州立大学（NMSU）、北方亚利桑那州建立伙伴关系 大学（NAU），和骨科医学伯勒尔学院（BCOM），以加强职业管道的预 以及从事癌症和癌症健康差异研究的博士后学员和早期研究人员（ESI） (CHD)research.作为西班牙裔和少数民族服务机构，这些机构都准备做很多- 在未来几年中，西南地区的CHD劳动力需要多样化。的 STEAM网络基于独特的资源和培训为合作伙伴提供了许多互惠互利的好处 每个合作机构的机会。培训冠军（TC）代表少数群体 在西南部的社区和谁在癌症研究的培训和专业知识将作为榜样 和近同行导师在每个机构。培训委员会将发挥核心作用，帮助受训人员确定 实现自己的职业和培训目标。TC将为癌症研究和技能建设做出贡献， 代表性不足的少数民族博士前和博士后学生，以及提供重要的导航支持，以ESI 从事癌症和冠心病研究。TC将：1）为学者提供全面的 一系列资源以及技术和专业职业技能建设工具，以促进专业发展 实现教育和职业目标; 2）通过联系受训人员促进科学界的参与 在一个多样化、多地点和跨学科网络中; 3）提供文化上敏感的癌症和癌症保健 以差异为重点的课程; 4）帮助确定辅导机会; 5）确保方案间 连通性。整个新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州的西南部人口经历了高贫困率， 不平等、高等教育程度不足以及地理多样性限制了获得科学知识的机会 教育和职业发展机会。STEAM创始机构的正式联系将 确保受训人员有更多机会获得每个机构的研究教育和培训专门知识， 满足以下目标：1）传播国家癌症研究所和中心，以减少癌症健康 在已建立和不断发展的网络中，优先事项和专业发展产品的差异; 2） 促进该地区独特人口和代表性不足人口的人才的持续发展， 通过提供有针对性的癌症课程和研究技能培训进行癌症研究; 3）确保 通过有针对性的指导，在博士前/博士后培训之外的持久性和成功过渡， 为早期研究人员提供的计划性产品，使他们做好承担富有成效的癌症研究的准备， 健康职业。
