Southwest Transformative Educational Advancement and Mentoring (STEAM) Network

项目总结 西南变革性教育促进和指导(STEAM)网络利用 新墨西哥大学(UNM)、新墨西哥州立大学(NMSU)、北亚利桑那州 大学(NAU)和伯瑞尔骨科医学院(BCOM)，以加强职业管道 以及从事癌症和癌症健康差异研究的博士后实习生和早期研究人员(ESIS) (CHD)研究。作为为拉美裔和少数族裔服务的机构，这些机构中的每一家都准备好了大赚一笔- 在未来几年，需要改进西南地区冠心病劳动力的多样化。这个 基于独特的资源和培训，STEAM网络为合作伙伴提供了许多互惠互利的好处 每个伙伴机构都有机会。培训冠军(TCS)代表小组化 西南部的社区和在癌症研究方面有培训和专业知识的人将成为榜样 以及每所学校的近乎同行的导师。培训中心将发挥核心作用，帮助学员确定 实现他们的培训和职业目标。塔塔咨询公司将为癌症研究和技能培养做出贡献 代表不足的少数民族博士后和博士后学生，以及为Esis提供重要的导航支持 从事癌症和冠心病研究。TCS将：1)为学者提供全面的 一系列资源和技术和专业职业技能建设工具，促进专业发展 和实现教育和职业目标；2)通过将受训者联系起来，促进科学界的参与 在多元化、多站点和跨学科的网络中；3)提供响应文化的癌症和癌症健康 注重差异的课程；4)帮助确定指导机会；5)确保方案间 连通性。新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州的西南部人口经历了高贫困率、健康 差距、高等教育水平不足以及地理多样性限制了人们获取科学知识的机会 教育和职业发展机会。STEAM创始机构的正式联系将 确保学员有更多机会接触每个机构的研究、教育和培训专门知识，以 实现以下目标：1)传播国家癌症研究所和中心以减少癌症健康 在已建立和不断增长的网络中提供不同的优先事项和专业发展方案；2) 促进来自该区域独特人口和在以下地区代表性不足的人才的持续发展 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和成功的过渡，超越博士前/博士后培训 为早期研究人员提供程序性服务，使他们做好承担富有成效的癌症研究或 健康事业。

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.
