Graduate Training in Cancer Research and Health Disparities

试点计划4：癌症研究和健康差距方面的研究生培训 玛丽·奥康奈尔(NMSU)/玛克辛·利尼尔(FHCRC) 摘要 没有适当的榜样，就很难就癌症的重要性提供积极的信息 向代表不足的少数群体提供研究、癌症预防和癌症治疗。这样做的理由是 研究生培训计划是基于提高NMSU学生和教职员工对 癌症研究，特别是在少数族裔研究生和教职员工中，并提高对 弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心(FHCRC)的这些问题。 该项目的目标是加强两所大学研究生在癌症研究方面的培训 墨西哥州立大学(NMSU)和FHCRC[与墨西哥大学研究生院合作 华盛顿(UW)]。这将通过三个具体目标来实现。 1.NMSU基于实验室的研究生将在FHCRC花费四分之三的时间在实验室进行研究，该实验室将 增强与他们的论文研究相关的研究技能，如果合适，通过 华盛顿大学分子和细胞生物学研究生课程。 2.FHCRC流行病学和公共卫生研究生将加强他们的癌症教育 通过一门新课程“少数民族人口的卫生和卫生服务差距”进行研究。学生 从这门课程中，我们将被选为参加边境流行病学和 NMSU的环境健康中心(BEC)，他们将在那里暴露于美墨边境健康问题 以及正在进行的研究。 3.卫生科学系的少数民族公共卫生硕士学生将有机会完成所需的 在FHCRC与小组一起进行研究实践。FHCRC的教职员工将在未来的职业培训中帮助他们 包括UW/FHCRC博士项目的申请。 这些目标的次要目标是吸引未被充分代表的少数族裔学生参加这些项目 FHCRC用于研究生、博士后和教职员工的任命。

Pilot Program #4: Graduate training in cancer research and health disparities Mary O'Connell (NMSU) / Maxine Linial (FHCRC) ABSTRACT Without appropriate role models, it is difficult to provide positive messages regarding the importance of cancer research, cancer prevention, and cancer treatment to underrepresented minorities. The rationale for this graduate student training program is based on the need to increase student and faculty interest at NMSU in cancer research, specifically among minority graduate students and faculty, and to increase the awareness of these issues at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC). The goal of this project is to enhance the training in cancer research for graduate students at both New Mexico State University (NMSU) and FHCRC [in association with the graduate school a the University of Washington (UW)]. This will be accomplished through three specific aims. 1. Lab based graduate students at NMSU will spend three quarters at FHCRC doing research in a lab that will augment research skills related to their dissertation research, and if appropriate, taking courses through the Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program at the University of Washington. 2. Epidemiology and Public Health graduate students at FHCRC will enhance their education in cancer research through a new course in "Health and Health Services Disparities in Minority Populations". Students from this course will be chosen to participate in a two week praciticum at The Border Epidemiology and Environmental Health Center (BEC) of NMSU, where they will be exposed to US-Mexico border health issues and ongoing research. 3. Minority MPH students from the Department of Health Sciences will have the opportunity to do required research praciticums with groups at FHCRC. Faculty at FHCRC will assist them in future career training including applications to the Ph.D. program at UW/FHCRC. A secondary goal of these Aims is to attract underrepresented minority students to the programs at FHCRC for graduate, postdoctoral and faculty appointments.
