Project Summary West Baltimore is comprised of majority minority communities that are among the most economically and academically disadvantaged in the US and are disproprotionately impacted by cancer. A healthcare and cancer research workforce that understands the challenges facing West Baltimore residents and similar communities across the US is essential to addressing cancer incidence and outcome disparities. To excite and sustain underrepresented minorities (URM) scholars’ interest in cancer-related science subjects, healthcare research and careers, early educational intervention that takes account of the social determinants of educational success is critical. In this Catalyzing Cancer Research among Urban Underrepresented Minority Youths and Teachers (CATALYST) program, we will implement an innovative and immersive program for Middle School scholars, their families, teachers, and communities in West Baltimore. The aims of the program are to: 1) Excite scholars, their families, and communities about cancer research using cancer-focused research experiences and mentoring programs from an early stage in their education. 2) Develop novel curricula and individually mentored, hands-on cancer research training and experiences for Baltimore Mid- dle School teachers that are aligned with scholars’ curriculum and lead to improved science learning. 3) Develop and implement novel scholars’ curricula integrated with research experiences to improve science learning in Middle Schools. And 4) Expand the rich tapestry of outreach and community engagement activities to include cancer-related research trainings in West Baltimore’s Middle Schools. Scholars and teachers’ projects will pro- vide cancer-focused material for use in community outreach and engagement activities to be implemented by the scholars and teachers in their schools and communities. The outcomes of scholars’ and teachers’ educa- tional activities, curriculum development, and research projects will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at local, regional, and national forums as well as during collaborative exchanges with peer NCI YES programs across the US. CATALYST is built on the highly successful University of Maryland Baltimore Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (UMB CURE) Middle Schools Pilot Program – the first NCI CURE Middle School program – which was implemented by the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) in West Baltimore for seven years. The UMB CURE pilot developed a robust cancer-focused program that lever- aged strong UMB and UMGCCC resources in a holistic approach to scholars’ education, and community's needs, and is the framework for the proposed CATALYST program. The impact of CATALYST on all program stake- holders will be rigorously evaluated and outcomes will be longitudinally tracked. This data will inform best prac- tices and identify areas for improvement which is fed back to develop a sustainable and scalable program that produces the next generation of URM cancer researchers and caregivers and ultimately increase diversity in the biomedical workforce.

项目摘要 西巴尔的摩由占多数的少数族裔社区组成，这些社区是最经济和 在美国，他们在学业上处于不利地位，并受到癌症的严重影响。医疗保健与癌症 了解巴尔的摩西部居民和类似社区面临的挑战的研究人员 对于解决癌症发病率和结果差异至关重要。激动人心并维持 代表不足的少数族裔(URM)学者对癌症相关科学科目、医疗保健研究的兴趣 和职业，考虑到教育成功的社会决定因素的早期教育干预 是至关重要的。在城市代表性不足的少数民族青年和教师中催化癌症的研究 (催化剂)计划，我们将为中学学者实施一个创新和身临其境的计划，他们的 巴尔的摩西部的家庭、教师和社区。 该计划的目的是：1)鼓励学者、他们的家人和社区使用 从他们的早期教育阶段开始，就有以癌症为重点的研究经验和指导计划。2)发展 为巴尔的摩中部地区提供新颖的课程和个人指导的动手癌症研究培训和经验 DELL学校的教师与学者的课程保持一致，从而改善科学学习。3)发展 并结合研究经验实施新颖的学者课程，以改善科学学习 中学。以及4)扩大外联和社区参与活动的丰富多彩，包括 巴尔的摩西部中学的癌症相关研究培训。学者和教师项目将促进- 在社区外展和参与活动中使用以癌症为重点的材料，由 学校和社区中的学者和教师。学者和教师教育的成果-- 国家活动、课程开发和研究项目将发表在同行评议的期刊和 在地方、地区和国家论坛上以及在与同行NCI的协作交流期间展示是的 项目遍布全美。 CATALYST是建立在非常成功的马里兰大学巴尔的摩继续研究伞基础上的 体验(UMB CURE)中学试点计划-第一个NCI CURE中学计划- 由马里兰大学格林鲍姆综合癌症中心(UMGCCC)在 在巴尔的摩西部呆了七年。UMB CURE试点开发了一个强大的癌症重点项目，该项目- UMB和UMGCCC在学者教育和社区需求方面的综合资源， 并是拟议的催化剂计划的框架。催化剂对所有程序桩的影响- 持有者将接受严格的评估，并将纵向跟踪结果。这些数据将为最佳实践提供信息- 制定可持续和可扩展的计划，并确定需要改进的地方 产生下一代URM癌症研究人员和照顾者，并最终增加 生物医学工作人员。
