项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and the Georgetown University Medical Center, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) propose to continue their participation in the Bridges to the Doctorate that has been built upon the successful partnership that currently exist due to an NIH/NCI p20 and U56 funding. A UDC Masters Degree Program in Cancer Biology Prevention and Control, an outgrowth from the U56 grant, is jointly taught by UDC and LCCC. To help alleviate the heavy cancer burden that impacts the District of Columbia, the Masters Degree Program was established to provide competitive minorities students with knowledge and confidence that will allow for seamless transition from this MS program to a competitive Doctorate Program. Consistent with the NIH requirements for the Bridges to the Doctorate Program, we propose the following objectives to augment the students' conceptual learning and skills. (1) update and implement a highly competitive curriculum in the Masters Program and provide pre-course enhancers (PCEs) in order to impart background to help master material found in courses that have previously caused difficulty to similar students, (2).To improve academic performance by having students attend and present at journal club and local and national scientific meetings, participate in research skills and education workshops, and a distinguished lectures series and belong to a Transition Interest Groups (TRIGs), a student-mentoring group,(3) To provide each Masters student with a summer research experience in a research-intensive laboratory (4) to provide an opportunity for two faculty members from the LCCC to serve as visiting professors at UDC. The goal of the Bridges to the Doctorate Program is to graduate Master-level students who are able to gain admission to PhD programs at LCC or similar institution and eventually become biomedical scientist best suited to translate cancer biology, prevention, and control methods into research that will help alleviate health disparities. The University of the District of Columbia(UDC) and the Georgetown University Medical Center, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center(LCCC) propose to continue their participation in the Bridges to the Doctorate that has been built upon the successful partnership that currently exist due to an NIH/NCI p20 and U56 funding. The proposal will promote initiatives, strategies, and activities that will increase the number of minority students pursuing careers in cancer research. The influx of these minority cancer researchers will help alleviate health disparities in the nation.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚大学大学（UDC）和伦巴第伦敦大学综合癌症中心（LCCC）的乔治敦大学医学中心（LCCC）提议继续他们参与桥梁的桥梁，该博士学位是基于目前由于NIH/NIH/NIH/NCI P20和U56 Funding而建立的成功合作伙伴关系。 UDC生物学预防和控制方面的UDC硕士学位课程是U56赠款的产物，由UDC和LCCC共同讲授。为了减轻影响哥伦比亚特区的沉重癌症负担，建立了硕士学位计划，以向有竞争力的少数民族学生提供知识和信心，从而可以从该MS计划无缝过渡到有竞争力的博士学位课程。与《博士学位》计划的桥梁的NIH要求一致，我们提出了以下目标，以增强学生的概念学习和技能。 (1) update and implement a highly competitive curriculum in the Masters Program and provide pre-course enhancers (PCEs) in order to impart background to help master material found in courses that have previously caused difficulty to similar students, (2).To improve academic performance by having students attend and present at journal club and local and national scientific meetings, participate in research skills and education workshops, and a distinguished lectures series and belong to a Transition Interest Groups (TRIGs), a学生入学小组（3）为每个硕士学生提供研究密集型实验室（4）的夏季研究经验，为LCCC的两名教职员工提供了一个机会，可以在UDC担任访问教授。博士课程的桥梁的目的是毕业能够在LCC或类似机构获得博士学位课程的大师级学生，并最终成为最适合将癌症生物学，预防和控制方法转化为有助于减轻健康差异的研究的生物医学科学家。哥伦比亚特区（UDC）大学和伦巴第综合癌症中心（LCCC）的乔治敦大学医学中心（LCCC）建议继续他们参与桥梁，该博士学位是基于NIH/NIH/NCI P20和U56资金而建立的，该博士学位是基于目前存在的成功伙伴关系。该提案将促进倡议，策略和活动，以增加从事癌症研究职业的少数族裔学生的数量。这些少数癌症研究人员的涌入将有助于减轻全国的健康差异。
