项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) proposes to establish a Cancer Research and Education Academy (the Academy) in conjunction with the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) at Georgetown University Medical Center. It is designed for science students who have an interest in entering cancer research careers. The Academy is a natural progression of the cancer partnership between UDC and LCCC, established in 2000, to address the heavy cancer burden among African American in the Washington, D.C Metropolitan Area. The new Academy will provide a pipe-line of undergraduate student to enter the jointly administered and jointly taught Masters Program in Cancer Biology, Prevention and Control and provide academic and non-academic support that allows students to built confidence to successfully pursue more advanced degrees. The goal of the Academy is to promote initiatives, strategies, and activities that will increase the number of minority students pursing careers in cancer research in an attempt to address health disparities. The Masters Program will be incorporated into the Academy that will consist of an Education and a Research core. Each core will have a mentoring and academic enrichment focus. The Education core will utilize a highly competitive curriculum that allows for undergraduates to major in biology with a cancer option and to enrich the current curriculum in Masters Program. Functions of the Academy include: (a) initiating new cancer courses and enhancing several pre-existing cancer courses; (b) implementing research-based instruction; (c) placing community outreach in specific courses; and (d) and utilizing scientific experts in classroom settings. The Research core will provide each undergraduate and graduate student with an academic year and summer cancer research experience in a research laboratory at LCCC, UDC. In addition to presenting research papers at scientific meetings, student will have as series of enrichment activities e.g. research skills workshops, career workshops, distinguished lectures, and cancer seminars and membership in a Journal Club. There will be a strong multi-tiered mentoring program for both undergraduate and graduate students. The Academy will engage students in systematic approaches to learning and create and enable students to negotiate a successful transition at each level of more specialized academic training.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚大学（UDC）（UDC）建议与乔治敦大学医学中心的伦巴第综合癌症中心（LCCC）建立癌症研究与教育学院（学院）。它是为对进入癌症研究职业感兴趣的科学专业学生而设计的。该学院是2000年成立的UDC和LCCC之间癌症伙伴关系的自然发展，以解决华盛顿特区大都会地区非裔美国人之间的巨大癌症负担。新学院将为本科生提供管道，以进入癌症生物学，预防和控制的共同管理和共同教授硕士课程，并提供学术和非学术支持，使学生能够建立信心，以成功地追求更高级的学位。该学院的目的是促进倡议，策略和活动，以增加从事癌症研究中从事职业的少数族裔学生的数量，以解决健康差异。硕士课程将纳入学院，其中包括教育和研究核心。每个核心都将具有指导和学术丰富的重点。教育核心将利用一项竞争激烈的课程，该课程允许通过癌症选择的生物学专业的本科生，并丰富当前的硕士课程课程。该学院的功能包括：（a）启动新的癌症课程并增强几个先前存在的癌症课程；（b）实施基于研究的教学；（c）将社区推广放入特定课程；（d）并利用科学专家在课堂环境中。研究核心将在UDC LCCC的研究实验室中为每个学年和夏季的癌症研究经验提供研究年的学年和夏季癌症研究经验。除了在科学会议上介绍研究论文外，学生还将作为一系列丰富活动，例如研究技能讲习班，职业研讨会，杰出的讲座以及癌症研讨会以及期刊俱乐部的会员资格。本科生和研究生都将有一个强大的多层指导计划。该学院将吸引学生进行系统的学习和创建和创建和创造和使学生在每个更专业的学术培训的级别上成功过渡。
