Cancer Research Career Enhancement and Related Activities Project Summary Both innovation and implementation of cancer solutions requires development of a highly trained cancer- focused workforce. To promote this objective, the PCCR tightly integrates sponsorship of a diverse array of educational and professional development activities within its broad portfolio of research objectives. The institutional home of PCCR, Purdue, presents an outstanding opportunity to further grow this cancer workforce. Purdue is a leading R1 institution with an exceptional diversity of research expertise and a deep commitment to its education mission. Purdue sponsors numerous programs that explicitly promote education and training. It similarly supports many programs that promote professional development at all training levels, from undergraduate to faculty. These programs, however, are typically not framed in a cancer-relevant context. In order to have the greatest impact on the cancer workforce of the future, an overarching goal of the PCCR with regards to education and professional development is to provide a cancer focus to existing Purdue-sponsored activities that would not exist in the absence of the Center and thereby leverage these activities for a cancer- relevant purpose. Similarly, by promoting cancer-relevant aspects of these educational and professional development programs, the PCCR promotes opportunities available in the cancer research field that many of the outstanding faculty, students and staff at Purdue would otherwise be unfamiliar with and, thereby, recruits these individuals to the fight against cancer. In short, the PCCR both promotes its own programs and coordinates with various Purdue academic and administrative units to explicitly leverage Purdue's abundant institutional resources in order to have the largest impact on cancer-focused education and professional development. Initiatives addressing education and professional development are grouped into four themes: 1) Building a cancer-focused community of practice to facilitate interdisciplinary training that exploits the diversity of research expertise at Purdue; 2) Promoting faculty development and helping to recruit top-tier basic scientists into cancer- related research; 3) Promoting graduate student education and training by designing PCCR-sponsored activities such that graduate student education and professional development are built into the experience; and 4) Promoting undergraduate opportunities and thereby shape career paths and intentions of Purdue's extensive undergraduate population. Specific examples of PCCR activities/programs include: 1) a bioinformatics training program that targets graduate students; 2) a Continuing Umbrella of Research Experience (CURE)-funded summer research program for graduate students who are underrepresented minorities; 3) a program for faculty and postdocs in the physical sciences that promotes cancer-related research and embeds them in a clinical setting; 4) training of graduate students to use PCCR-sponsored shared resources; and 5) interdisciplinary training for graduate students and faculty via a cancer journal club. By intentionally embracing training within its discovery mission, the PCCR is fostering both the innovations of today and the innovators of tomorrow.

癌症研究职业提升及相关活动 项目概要 癌症解决方案的创新和实施都需要培养训练有素的癌症治疗人员 专注的劳动力。为了促进这一目标，PCCR 紧密整合了各种赞助活动 其广泛的研究目标范围内的教育和专业发展活动。这 PCCR 的机构所在地普渡大学为进一步发展癌症劳动力提供了绝佳的机会。 普渡大学是一所领先的 R1 机构，拥有卓越的多元化研究专业知识和坚定的承诺 它的教育使命。普渡大学赞助了许多明确促进教育和培训的项目。它 同样支持许多促进各个培训级别专业发展的计划，从 本科生到教师。然而，这些计划通常不是在癌症相关背景下制定的。在 为了对未来的癌症工作者产生最大的影响，这是 PCCR 的首要目标 关于教育和专业发展的目的是为现有普渡大学资助的癌症提供关注 如果没有该中心，这些活动就不会存在，从而利用这些活动来治疗癌症- 相关目的。同样，通过促进这些教育和专业领域与癌症相关的方面 发展计划，PCCR 促进了许多癌症研究领域的机会 否则，普渡大学的优秀教职员工、学生和工作人员将不熟悉，从而招募 这些人致力于对抗癌症。简而言之，PCCR 既推动自己的计划，又协调 与普渡大学各个学术和行政单位合作，明确利用普渡大学丰富的机构 资源，以便对以癌症为重点的教育和专业发展产生最大的影响。 解决教育和职业发展的举措分为四个主题： 1) 建立一个 以癌症为中心的实践社区，促进利用研究多样性的跨学科培训 普渡大学的专业知识； 2）促进师资发展并帮助招募顶尖的癌症基础科学家- 相关研究； 3）通过设计PCCR赞助的活动来促进研究生教育和培训 使研究生教育和专业发展融入到经验中；和 4) 促进本科机会，从而塑造普渡大学广泛的职业道路和意图 本科生人口。 PCCR 活动/计划的具体示例包括： 1) 生物信息学培训 针对研究生的计划； 2) 持续研究经验 (CURE) 资助 针对代表性不足的少数族裔研究生的暑期研究计划； 3）教师计划 以及物理科学领域的博士后，促进癌症相关研究并将其嵌入临床 环境; 4）培训研究生使用PCCR资助的共享资源； 5）跨学科 通过癌症期刊俱乐部为研究生和教师提供培训。通过有意识地在其范围内接受培训 作为发现使命，PCCR 正在培育今天的创新和明天的创新者。
