RESEARCH EDUCATION CORE – ABSTRACT The overall objective of the Chicago Cancer Health Equity Collaborative (ChicagoCHEC) Research Education Core (REC) is to increase the number of students from underrepresented populations engaged in cancer research by fostering meaningful research, education, and community engaged experiences which link faculty and students of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University (NU-LCC). For this Core, we define students as high school through postdoctoral fellows. Between 2016 – 2019, the REC launched research education experiences bringing together diverse students across the Chicagoland area, developed curricula introducing students to the science of cancer disparities, and built robust networks with high school and local community college students to encourage their entry into REC programs. In that period, the REC provided structured summer research education experiences through the ChicagoCHEC Research Fellows (CHEC Fellows) Program to 65 students from minority and underrepresented backgrounds. The CHEC Fellows Program is an intensive 8-week summer program that introduces students to a breadth of cancer health disparities research topics and to the work of leading cancer researchers, provides hands-on engagement with community partners, and builds professional skills as a foundation for lifelong learning. In this renewal, we seek to sustain the successes of the CHEC Fellows Program and add programming to further student entry into cancer research trajectories and further meet the needs of students within ChicagoCHEC sponsored Projects. Thus, the CHEC Fellows Program will be complemented by development of new career readiness and career development supports, and an expansion of ChicagoCHEC Laboratory Experiences and Programs (LEaP), which matches students, including graduates of the CHEC Fellows Program, to intensive, one-on-one mentored immersion experiences in cancer research laboratories. A diverse and exceptional tri-institutional team of cancer research faculty has been assembled to lead the REC in achieving its specific aims, which are to: (1) develop curriculum and support professional development opportunities to increase Chicago area undergraduate interest and readiness in entering the cancer research career pipeline; (2) refine and sustain the CHEC Fellows and LEaP Programs for diverse undergraduate students recruited from NEIU, UIC, NU, and City Colleges of Chicago; (3) link underrepresented students (undergraduates, graduate/medical students and postdoctoral fellows) to mentored cancer research experiences within ChicagoCHEC Projects and provide career development support; and (4) implement continuous tracking and program evaluation. Initiatives of the ChicagoCHEC REC will directly introduce students to cancer research and enhance their capacity to seek out opportunities that will enable them to pursue meaningful, highly effective careers in this field.

研究教育核心-摘要 芝加哥癌症健康公平合作（芝加哥CHEC）研究教育的总体目标 核心（REC）是增加来自代表性不足人群的学生人数， 通过培养有意义的研究，教育和社区参与的经验，将教师联系起来 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）、东北伊利诺伊大学（NEIU）和罗伯特 H.西北大学Lurie综合癌症中心（NU-LCC）。对于这个核心，我们定义学生 从高中到博士后2016 - 2019年间，REC启动了研究教育 经验汇集不同的学生在芝加哥地区，开发课程，介绍 学生对癌症差异的科学，并建立了强大的网络与高中和当地社区 鼓励大学生参加REC项目。在此期间，REC提供了结构化的 通过芝加哥CHEC研究员（CHEC研究员）的夏季研究教育经验 计划65名学生从少数民族和代表性不足的背景。CHEC研究员计划是一个 为期8周的暑期强化课程，向学生介绍癌症健康差异研究的广度 主题和领先的癌症研究人员的工作，提供与社区合作伙伴的实际参与， 并建立专业技能作为终身学习的基础。在这次更新中，我们寻求维持 成功的CHEC研究员计划，并增加编程，以进一步学生进入癌症研究 的发展轨迹，并进一步满足学生的需求在芝加哥CHEC赞助的项目。因此，CHEC 研究员计划将通过发展新的职业准备和职业发展来补充 支持和扩展芝加哥CHEC实验室经验和计划（LEaP）， 学生，包括CHEC研究员计划的毕业生，进行密集的，一对一的指导沉浸 癌症研究实验室的经验。一个多样化和卓越的癌症研究三机构团队 教师已经聚集在一起，领导REC实现其具体目标，这是：（1）开发课程 并支持专业发展机会，以提高芝加哥地区本科生的兴趣， 准备进入癌症研究职业管道;（2）完善和维持CHEC研究员和LEaP 从NEIU，UIC，NU和芝加哥城市学院招募的不同本科生的课程;（3） 将代表性不足的学生（本科生、研究生/医学生和博士后研究员）与 在芝加哥CHEC项目中指导癌症研究经验，并提供职业发展支持; （4）实施持续跟踪和项目评估。芝加哥CHEC REC的倡议将直接 向学生介绍癌症研究，提高他们寻找机会的能力， 在这个领域追求有意义的、高效的职业生涯。
