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 西巴尔的摩由多数少数民族社区组成，这些社区是经济上最大的社区 医疗保健和癌症 了解西巴尔的摩居民和类似社区面临的挑战的研究人员 整个美国对于解决癌症事件和结果分布至关重要。激发和维持 代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学者对癌症相关科学学科的兴趣，医疗研究 和职业，应考虑社会决定者成功的早期教育干预措施 很关键。在城市代表性不足的少数民族青年和教师中的催化癌症研究中 （催化剂）计划，我们将为中学学者实施创新和沉浸式计划 西巴尔的摩的家庭，老师和社区。 该计划的目的是：1）使用 以癌症为中心的研究经验和心理计划从他们的教育早期阶段。 2）发展 新颖的课程，并对巴尔的摩中部的单独指导的，动手的癌症研究培训和经验 与学者课程保持一致并导致改进的科学学习的DLE学校老师。 3）发展 并实施新学者的课程与研究经验集成，以改善科学学习 中学。 4）扩大了丰富的外展和社区参与活动的挂毯 西巴尔的摩中学与癌症有关的研究培训。学者和教师的项目将支持 以癌症为中心的材料用于社区外展和参与活动 他们的学校和社区中的学者和老师。学者的成果和老师的教育 主题活动，课程开发和研究项目将在同行评审的期刊上发表 在本地，地区和国家论坛以及与PEER NCI的合作交流期间提出 美国各地的计划。 Catalyst建立在马里兰州巴尔的摩大学的持续研究伞上 经验（UMB治疗）中学试点计划 - 第一个NCI治疗中学计划 - 是由马里兰大学格林巴姆大学综合癌症中心（UMGCCC）在 西巴尔的摩七年。 UMB治疗飞行员制定了一项强大的以癌症为中心的计划，该计划杠杆 在整体方法中，对学者的教育以及社区需求的整体方法和UMGCCC资源的老化， 并且是拟议催化剂程序的框架。催化剂对所有程序股份的影响 - 将对持有人进行严格的评估，并将纵向跟踪结果。这些数据将告知最佳prac- TICE和确定改进的领域，可以回避开发可持续和可扩展的计划 生产下一代URM癌症研究人员和看护人，并最终增加了多样性 生物医学劳动力。
