Career E Core

职业提升核心（CEC）对于满足社会资本中心（SoCa）的使命至关重要， 降低持续贫困地区的癌症发病率。SoCa CEC将实施多管齐下的 一种支持早期研究者进入、保留和发展癌症健康的方法 最贫困人口的差距研究。为此，我们开发了SoCa方法， 我们定义为社会网络的可持续基础设施的发展， 该网络产生的期望进入，保留，和癌症健康研究人员的进展 差异，推进个人和社区的集体目标。为此，CEC将利用 现有的计划，并建立所需的编程，协调集体的努力，激活和支持 在整个生物医学企业中持续移动早期研究人员，他们具有所需的专业知识， 为服务不足的社区服务。中央选举委员会将通过开发基于网络的方案， 基础设施，以确定和帮助既定的调查人员在确保多样性补充（DS），将 支持早期研究者的所有合格阶段（从高中到初级教师支持） 致力于贫困社区癌症健康差异的研究（Aim 1）。保留早期阶段 研究人员致力于为服务不足的社区，我们将实施临床研究协调员 为本科生，学士后和硕士生提供的培训计划，将有助于进入 持续贫困社区内的临床协调员职位（目标2）。早期进展 调查人员，我们将提供个性化的方法，以团队为基础的指导和培训，以加强 学者有效竞争外部研究资金的能力，加强促销包， 将癌症研究纳入其项目组合中的PPA（目标3）。 CEC的目标是利用无与伦比的资源，包括出色的培训和 哥伦比亚大学欧文医学中心（CUIMC）、康奈尔大学（CU）的教育课程，以及 Downstate Health Sciences University（Downstate），以及现有的核心资源，包括临床 和转化科学奖（CTSA）和附属癌症中心。CEC将协同工作 与SoCa中心核心（研究和方法，开发和行政核心），咨询委员会， 以及支持SoCa中心整体使命的项目。CEC将支持提交≥40份DS， 20名学生的临床研究协调员培训，以及12名SoCa学者的个性化培训 授予期。由核心联合主任（Yazmin Carrasco博士和Jasmine McDonald博士）支持，SoCa 中心教师，以及CU，CUIMC和Downstate内部和之间的跨机构机会-CEC 将创建可持续和可扩展的基础设施和计划，增加生物医学劳动力的多样性。

The Career Enhancement Core (CEC) is essential for meeting the Center for Social Capital (SoCa) mission of reducing cancer incidence in persistent poverty areas (PPAs). The SoCa CEC will implement a multipronged approach to support early stage investigators entry, retention, and progression into conducting cancer health disparities research among the most impoverished populations. To this end, we develop the SoCa Method which we define as the development of a sustainable infrastructure for a social network where the established norms of the network produce the expectation of entry, retention, and progression of investigators in cancer health disparities, advancing the individual and the collective goals of the community. To this end, the CEC will leverage existing programs and build needed programming, harmonizing collective efforts that activates and supports sustained movement of early stage investigators across the biomedical enterprise with the expertise needed to serve underserved communities. The CEC will support entry by developing web-based programmatic infrastructure to identify and aid established investigators in securing diversity supplements (DSs) that will support all eligible stages of early stage investigators (from as early as high school through junior faculty support) who are dedicated to cancer health disparities in impoverished communities (Aim1). To retain early stage investigators dedicated to serving underserved communities, we will implement a Clinical Research Coordinator Training Program for undergraduates, post baccalaureates, and master’s students that will facilitate entry into clinical coordinator positions within persistent poverty communities (Aim 2). To progress early stage investigators, we will provide a personalized approach to team-based mentoring and training to bolster the scholars’ ability to compete effectively for external research funding, to strengthen promotional packages, and instill cancer research in PPAs within their portfolio (Aim 3). The CEC objectives are leveraged by unparalleled resources including the outstanding training and educational programs at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), Cornell University (CU), and Downstate Health Sciences University (Downstate), as well as, available core resources including the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) and the affiliated Cancer Centers. The CEC will work collaboratively with the SoCa Center Cores (Research and Methods, Development, and Administrative Core), Advisory Board, and Projects to support the SoCa Center’s overall mission. The CEC will support the submission of ≥40 DSs, clinical research coordinator training of 20 students, and personalized training of 12 SoCa Scholars across the granting period. Supported by the Core Co-Directors (Drs. Yazmin Carrasco and Jasmine McDonald), SoCa Center Faculty, and cross-institutional opportunities within and across CU, CUIMC, and Downstate - the CEC will create sustainable and scalable infrastructures and programs that increase biomedical workforce diversity.
