培训和教育计划-摘要 增加生物医学研究队伍的多样性，以提高国家的能力， 解决和消除保健差距是全国公认的一项迫切需要。客观 该项目的主要目的是进行可行性研究，以加强癌症研究培训， 通过霍华德大学和约翰霍普金斯大学的合作伙伴关系为霍华德学生提供教育 癌症中心假设是，建立高质量和可持续的协作 HBCU研究所的癌症研究培训和教育计划可以加速 提高少数民族生物医学调查人员的数量和质量。设计这 该计划是基于P20应用程序的整体优先级。因此，本可行性研究 癌症研究培训和教育计划将特别强调HPV- 相关癌症和癌症健康差异。 我们的具体目标是： 1)在约翰霍普金斯大学和 医学研究所和霍华德大学支持癌症研究中的少数人倡议 2)为霍华德学生提供短期癌症研究培训体验机会 对生物医学和行为健康科学感兴趣，以促进长期职业生涯 这些领域的机会 3)发展及推行新的院校癌症教育课程， 霍华德健康专业的教师，居民和学生，重点是越来越多的 HPV相关口咽癌的重要疾病，以及相关研究和 应用. 我们的最终目标是创建有效的，可持续的和协作的癌症研究培训 和教育基础设施在霍华德大学，以增加少数民族的发展 候选人的职业专注于癌症研究，并提高健康的能力 专业学生在实验室的新发现和创新的翻译， 在临床上，在实践中和人群中，消除癌症健康差距。成功 该项目的实施将极大地帮助NCI癌症教育的提交和资助 补助金和/或癌症研究培训补助金，以支持和扩大癌症研究培训 霍华德大学的教育基础设施。该奖项也将有一个重要的 对加强霍华德大学癌症研究环境的影响。

Training and Education Program - Abstract Increasing diversity in biomedical research workforce to improve the Nation's capacity to address and eliminate health disparities is a critical need recognized nationwide. The objective of this project is to perform feasibility study in enhancement of cancer research training and education for Howard students through the partnership of Howard University and Johns Hopkins Cancer Center. The hypothesis is that building high quality and sustainable collaborative cancer research training and education program at HBCU institutes can accelerate the improvement of number and quality of minority biomedical investigators. The design of this program is based on the overall priorities of the P20 application. Thereby, this feasibility study of cancer research training and education program will have a special emphasis on HPV- associated cancers and cancer health disparities. Our specific aims are: 1) To establish an effective and sustainable mentoring network between the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes and Howard University to support a minority initiative in cancer research 2) To provide short-term cancer research training experience opportunities for Howard students interested in biomedical and behavioral health sciences to foster long-term career opportunities in these fields 3) To develop and implement a new institutional curriculum for cancer education among Howard health professional faculty, residents and students, with focus on an increasing important disease of HPV related oropharyngeal cancer, and related research and applications. Our ultimate goal is to create effective, sustainable and collaborative cancer research training and education infrastructure at Howard University to increase the development of minority candidates with careers focused on cancer research, and to improve the ability of health professional students in translation of new discoveries and innovation in the laboratory to the bedside, into practice and populations, to eliminate cancer health disparity. Successfully conducting of this project will greatly help the submission and funding NCI cancer education grant and/or cancer research training grant to support and extend the cancer research training and education infrastructure at Howard University. This Award will also have a significant impact on strengthening the cancer research environment at Howard University.
