EDUCATION AND OUTREACH UNIT – SUMMARY The two Research Projects and Transport Oncophysics Core (TOC) of the proposed Center for Immunotherapeutic Transport Oncophysics (CITO) form a collaborative and cohesive program to determine and understand the transport of immune cells, molecules, and particles, through systemic circulation and within the tumor microenvironment, and to exploit these features for the rational design of effective cancer immunotherapies and vaccines for breast and pancreatic cancers. To achieve this overarching goal, we recognize the need to foster current and future generations of individuals with a distinctive and powerful combination of transdisciplinary knowledge and skill sets in physical sciences oncology and the commitment to sharing and exploring this emerging domain with the scientific and lay communities. The Education and Outreach Unit (EOU) will promote the education and development of faculty, trainees, students, and advocates within the CITO. It will also serve as the mechanism for CITO members to engage with other Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers (PS-OCs), the broader scientific community, and the public, and to disseminate information and concepts on the physical sciences in cancer research and patient care. Detailed descriptions of planned programs and activities can be found in the EOU component of this application; we also summarize them in the Administrative Core (AC) component. We will organize several types of programs and activities that are intended to: 1) bring in new expertise and perspectives on physical sciences oncology (conferences, seminars, workshops, public engagement forums); 2) offer trainees and students avenues for interactive, laboratory- and/or clinic-based education in physical sciences oncology (fast-track research opportunities); 3) enable CITO investigators to take a sabbatical to other Physical Sciences-Oncology Network (PS-ON) laboratories as part of cross-training opportunities; 4) disseminate information to the public on the ideas, technologies, and capabilities of physical sciences oncology, and its potential impact on cancer research and patient care (via the Community Engagement Program with our patient advocates); and 5) gather relevant information and feedback from the patient community and the general public that would continue to guide and drive the CITO's research, educational, and outreach activities. The AC is charged with managing and facilitating activities for the EOU. Dr. Mauro Ferrari (CITO Principal Investigator, PI) will set the programmatic framework for the EOU, which will align with the thematic elements of the CITO Projects and TOC. He and the three other AC Co-Leaders (Dr. Elizabeth Mittendorf, Dr. Rongfu Wang, and Dr. Rolf Brekken) will lend strategic direction for the overall activities of the EOU, and the Center Administrator, Dr. Hanh Hoang, and staff will support them in implementing and coordinating those activities based on the requirements outlined by the CITO and the PS-ON.

教育和外联股-摘要 两个研究项目和运输肿瘤物理核心（TOC）的拟议中心， 免疫转运肿瘤物理学（CITO）形成一个协作和凝聚力的计划， 确定和了解免疫细胞，分子和颗粒的运输，通过体循环 以及肿瘤微环境内，并利用这些特征来合理设计有效的癌症治疗方案。 乳腺癌和胰腺癌的免疫疗法和疫苗。为了实现这一总体目标，我们 认识到需要培养当代和后代的个人具有独特的和强大的 结合物理科学肿瘤学的跨学科知识和技能， 致力于与科学界和非科学界分享和探索这一新兴领域。的 教育和外联股（EOU）将促进教师，学员， 学生和CITO内部的倡导者。它还将作为CITO成员参与的机制， 与其他物理科学肿瘤中心（PS-OC），更广泛的科学界和公众， 以及在癌症研究和病人护理中传播有关物理科学的信息和概念。 有关计划方案和活动的详细说明，请参阅本文件的EOU部分。 应用程序;我们还在管理核心（AC）组件中对其进行了总结。我们将组织几个 计划和活动的类型，旨在：1）带来新的专业知识和观点的物理 科学肿瘤学（会议，研讨会，讲习班，公众参与论坛）; 2）提供学员和 学生在物理科学肿瘤学中进行互动，实验室和/或临床教育的途径 （快速跟踪研究机会）; 3）使CITO调查人员能够休假到其他物理 科学-肿瘤学网络（PS-ON）实验室作为交叉培训机会的一部分; 4）传播 向公众提供关于物理科学肿瘤学的思想、技术和能力的信息， 对癌症研究和患者护理的潜在影响（通过社区参与计划， 患者倡导者）;以及5）从患者社区和 公众将继续指导和推动CITO的研究，教育和推广 活动AC负责管理和促进EOU的活动。Mauro Ferrari博士（CITO 首席研究员）将为EOU制定方案框架，该框架将与主题框架保持一致。 CITO项目和TOC的要素。他和其他三位AC联合领导人（Elizabeth Mittendorf博士， Rongfu Wang和Rolf Brekken博士）将为EOU的整体活动提供战略指导， 中心管理员Hanh Hoang博士和工作人员将支持他们实施和协调这些活动。 根据CITO和PS-ON概述的要求开展活动。
