项目摘要

ABSTRACT The underrepresentation of minorities in basic, clinical and behavioral research has been viewed as a significant barrier to addressing cancer disparities, and the inclusion of minority populations in clinical trials. Thus, there is a need to develop a cadre of racially and ethnically diverse, well-trained scientists. In this application, we will address the following barriers that underrepresented minorities face for a comprehensive rigorous, and innovative approach that will create opportunities and promote careers in cancer research for underrepresented minority researchers and students: (i) the lack of committed role models, (ii) inadequate mentoring, (iii) insufficient preparation, (iv) low expectations, and (v) not being aware of the culture and idioms of science. To achieve our long-term goal of increasing the pool of underrepresented minority (URM) cancer researchers, our primary objective is to augment, promote and sustain an independent, competitive cancer research training program that creates opportunities and promotes careers in oncology for minority students through the Comprehensive Research Training Opportunities for Outstanding Leaders (C-ReTOOL) program. This program will apprise and culturally sensitize undergraduate and graduate students of the need to reduce the disproportionate cancer burden in minority populations through basic, clinical, and behavioral research conducted in the US, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. The C-ReTOOL program will build on our existing cancer research and training opportunities to grow the number of underrepresented scientists and clinical investigators in higher education and academic leadership.

抽象的基础，临床和行为研究中少数民族的人数不足已被视为重要解决癌症差异的障碍，以及将少数群体纳入临床试验。因此，有需要在种族和种族多元化的，训练有素的科学家中发展一群干部。在此应用程序中，我们将解决以下代表性少数群体面临的障碍，以实现全面严格的障碍创新的方法将创造机会并促进癌症研究的职业，以至于人为不足少数派研究人员和学生：（i）缺乏坚定的榜样，（ii）指导不足，（iii）不足的准备工作，（iv）低期望以及（v）不了解科学的文化和成语。到实现我们增加代表性不足的少数民族（URM）癌症研究人员的长期目标主要目标是增加，促进和维持独立的竞争性癌症研究培训计划创造机会并通过杰出领导者（C-retool）计划的全面研究培训机会。这个程序将向和文化敏感的本科生和研究生敏感通过基本，临床和行为研究，少数群体中的癌症负担不成比例在美国，欧洲，非洲和加勒比海地区进行。 C-Retool计划将基于我们现有的癌症研究和培训机会，以增加代表性不足的科学家和临床研究人员的数量高等教育和学术领导。
