Project Summary Crucial to the long-lasting impact of the Center for Cancer Systems Therapeutics (CaST) is a robust and inclusive Outreach effort. The community and computational infrastructure established by CaST Outreach in 2016-2022 will be leveraged as the foundation for the proposed core ForCaST (outreach For CaST) to meet the education and outreach challenges put forth by the Cancer Systems Biology Consortium (CSBC). ForCaST will expand the scope of CaST Outreach to 1) develop widely accessible containerized software environments with tutorials and case studies for CaST tools; 2) forge new partnerships with cancer researchers and clinicians; 3) cultivate the next generation of diversity-promoting scientists; 3) strengthen connections with students from groups that are underrepresented in STEM disciplines; and 4) foster systems approaches in science more generally. The overall mission of ForCaST will be realized synergistically through its Specific Aims: 1) WebCaST (Web- based CaST resources) for online containerized packages that will combine CaST publications and resources with documented and video tutorials, domain-specific case studies, and computational workflows to facilitate dissemination and adoption; 2) WebCaST-High (WebCaST for high school students) that will introduce high- school students from nine high schools in NYC, LA, and Detroit, to exploratory analysis of cancer data and computational systems biology; 3) BroadCaST (Broadly accessible CaST research) for equipping students from Brooklyn College for graduate training at Columbia and careers in biomedical sectors; 4) StudioCaST (Studio art in CaST) for the creation of Visual Language at the intersection between Science and Art to offer novel learning perspectives and to palpably translate experiences associated with a cancer diagnosis to researchers and students; and 5) CaSTanet (CaST networks for inclusion) for mentoring postdoctoral scientists to provide equitable opportunities in their future roles at academic institutions as faculty members, instructors, lab heads, mentors, and reviewers. ForCaST has already established key partnerships to support the proposed activities including 1) resource sharing with the CSBC and broader Columbia communities such as the Columbia University Cancer Research Career Enhancement Core (CRCE); 2) collaborations with Columbia University and Brooklyn College Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE); 3) partnerships with high schools through Columbia CURE and the Palazzo-Strozzi Foundation; and 4) the creation of a new CSBC working group – Navigating Cancer with Science and Art. Foundational to the success of ForCaST is a strategy of differentiated learning and formative assessment that will ensure that CaST research products and the underlying concepts and skills required to comprehend them, are shared through a variety of vehicles in order to maximize appeal to scientists, clinicians, and students.

项目概要 癌症系统治疗中心 (CaST) 的长期影响力至关重要的是强大且具有包容性的 外展努力。 CaST Outreach 在 2016-2022 年建立的社区和计算基础设施 将被用作拟议核心 ForCaST（CaST 外展）的基础，以满足教育需求 以及癌症系统生物学联盟 (CSBC) 提出的外展挑战。 ForCaST 将扩大 CaST Outreach 的范围是 1) 开发可广泛访问的容器化软件环境，并提供教程和 CaST 工具的案例研究； 2）与癌症研究人员和临床医生建立新的伙伴关系； 3）培养 下一代促进多样性的科学家； 3）加强与来自以下群体的学生的联系 STEM 学科的代表性不足； 4）更广泛地培育科学中的系统方法。 ForCaST 的总体使命将通过其具体目标协同实现：1) WebCaST（Web- 基于 CaST 资源）的在线容器化软件包将结合 CaST 出版物和资源 提供文档和视频教程、特定领域的案例研究和计算工作流程，以促进 传播和采用； 2）WebCaST-High（面向高中生的WebCaST）将介绍高中 来自纽约市、洛杉矶和底特律九所高中的学生对癌症数据进行探索性分析， 计算系统生物学； 3) BroadCaST（广泛可访问的 CaST 研究），为来自以下国家的学生提供装备： 布鲁克林学院，提供哥伦比亚研究生培训和生物医学领域的职业； 4) StudioCaST（工作室艺术 CaST）在科学与艺术的交叉点创建视觉语言，以提供新颖的学习 观点并将与癌症诊断相关的经验明显地转化给研究人员和 学生; 5) CaSTanet（CaST 纳入网络），用于指导博士后科学家提供 未来在学术机构担任教职员工、讲师、实验室负责人等角色时享有公平的机会 导师和审稿人。 ForCaST 已经建立了重要的合作伙伴关系来支持拟议的活动，包括 1) 资源 与 CSBC 和哥伦比亚大学癌症研究中心等更广泛的哥伦比亚社区共享 职业提升核心（CRCE）； 2）与哥伦比亚大学和布鲁克林学院的合作仍在继续 研究经验伞（CURE）； 3) 通过 Columbia CURE 和 斯特罗齐宫基金会； 4) 成立新的 CSBC 工作组——用科学导航癌症 和艺术。 ForCaST 成功的基础是差异化学习和形成性策略 评估将确保 CaST 研究产品以及所需的基本概念和技能 理解它们，通过各种媒介分享，以最大限度地吸引科学家、临床医生、 和学生。
