CCR Office of Training and Education

NIH在几年前开发了研究生伙伴计划(GPP)，作为一种机制，通过正式的NIH/大学伙伴关系将研究生带到校园。CCR每年都积极参与这一项目，并接待了一批研究生。约翰霍普金斯大学和CCR合作创建了一个生物技术科学硕士项目，名为分子靶标和药物发现技术。这一创新计划的重点是生物分析开发、化学库、分子靶标和癌症，以及高通量筛选实验室自动化。该计划的一个特点是奖学金部分招募毕业后到CCR实验室从事与CCR分子靶标计划相关的项目。CCR认识到从科学界代表性不足的人群和来自弱势群体的个人中识别、培训和指导有才华的研究人员的重要性。癌症研究实习生(CRI)暑期项目于2004年启动，旨在为在研究实验室寻找初步培训机会的学生提供一扇敞开的大门。因此，这一计划允许我们为对研究感兴趣的代表不足的少数族裔建立一条管道。在这个项目的过程中，许多学生继续在CCR实验室接受额外的培训，或者能够利用他们的经验获得返回NIH其他实验室的机会。因此，这项计划开始在我们的学员群体中建立更多的多样性，并将为那些在过去永远不会获得这些机会的学生提供机会。

The NIH developed the Graduate Partnership Program (GPP) several years ago as a mechanism to bring graduate students to campus in formalized NIH/University partnerships. The CCR actively participates in this program annually and hosts a number of graduate students. The Johns Hopkins University and CCR partnered to create a Master of Science in Biotechnology program, called Molecular Targets and Drug Discovery Technologies. This innovative program focuses on bioassay development, chemical libraries, molecular targets and cancer, and high-throughput screening laboratory automation. A feature of the program is a fellowship component recruiting post-baccalaureates to CCR laboratories working on projects related to the CCR Molecular Targets Program. CCR recognizes the importance of identifying, training, and mentoring talented researchers from populations underrepresented in science and individuals from disadvantaged groups. The Cancer Research Interns (CRI) Summer Program was inaugurated in 2004 to provide an open door for students looking for an initial training opportunity in a research laboratory. Thus, this program allows us to build a pipeline for underrepresented minorities with an interest in research. Over the course of this program, many of the students continued in CCR labs for additional training or were able to use their experience to gain an offer to return to other NIH laboratories. Therefore, this program is beginning to build increased diversity within our trainee population and will provide opportunities for students who would never have received these chances in the past.
