Drain，PhD（核心负责人） TUFCCC/HC癌症伙伴关系提供了一个多学科的环境，丰富的研究，教育， 培训机会和专业指导。拟议的核心方案利用了 在培训和研究教育在坦普尔大学福克斯大通癌症中心（TUFCCC）和亨特 学院（HC），以促进专业丰富的学生和初级调查员代表不足， 癌症研究。除了研究培训，研究教育核心将培养和指导 学生在整个学习过程中，注入21世纪的协作和沟通技能，并发展 专业的职业机会。研究教育核心的首要目标是支持 教育活动，补充和加强培训多样化的劳动力，以满足国家的 癌症研究需要。为了实现这一目标，研究教育核心将解决以下具体问题 目标：目标1。TUFCCC/HC癌症伙伴关系将制定和实施一项全面的癌症 研究教育计划，为6个初级/高级URM提供丰富研究的机会 本科生和4个一年级URM研究生每年（共50 URM学生超过5年）。 具体而言，核心将提供独特的机会，包括为期10周的密集夏季癌症研究 研究所（SCRI）的本科生和研究生在生物医学，临床，或人口为基础的癌症 研究;通过指导研究项目进行基于技能的持续培训;以及丰富的癌症课程 研讨会，讲习班，期刊俱乐部，并在整个学年大轮。目标2.的 TUFCCC/HC癌症伙伴关系将为5名URM癌症研究员提供指导和研究支持 （博士后，初级教师或早期研究人员），以加强职业发展，并促进他们的 向独立调查员过渡。核心将提供一个既定的环境，以支持职业生涯 培养至少5名癌症研究员，他们将获得两年的密切指导和支持， 实施由试点项目资金支持的指导研究项目。目标3。TUFCCC/HC 癌症伙伴关系将促进学术界和社区的研究机会，以支持开展 与得不到充分服务的少数群体社区和人口合作开展文化上适当的癌症研究。 该核心将增加利用多学科的教育和研究机会， 在解决癌症健康差异研究中采用方法并使服务不足的少数群体社区参与其中 通过学术界与社区的合作伙伴关系提出问题。总而言之，拟议的研究教育 核心代表了一个特殊的机会，利用独特的资源和完善的 TU-FCCC，亨特学院和位于沿着的众多社区组织之间的合作 纽约-宾夕法尼亚走廊，以便利和促进研究教育和学生培训， 在癌症研究中代表性不足的初级研究人员。

PROJECT SUMMARY Research Education Core TU FCCC: Carolyn Fang, PhD (Core Leader) HC: Charles M. Drain, PhD (Core Leader) The TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership provides a multidisciplinary environment rich in research, education, and training opportunities and professional mentorship. The proposed Core capitalizes on the numerous strengths in training and research education across Temple University Fox Chase Cancer Center (TUFCCC) and Hunter College (HC) to facilitate the professional enrichment of students and junior investigators underrepresented in cancer research. In addition to research training, the Research Education Core will nurture and mentor students throughout their studies, infuse 21st century skills of collaboration and communication, and develop professional career opportunities. The overarching goal of the Research Education Core is to support educational activities that complement and enhance the training of a diverse workforce to meet the nation's cancer research needs. To achieve this goal, the Research Education Core will address the following specific aims: Aim 1. The TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership will develop and implement a comprehensive cancer research education program that provides research enrichment opportunities for 6 junior/senior-level URM undergraduate and 4 first-year URM graduate students per year (total of 50 URM students over 5 years). Specifically, the Core will offer unique opportunities including a 10-week intensive Summer Cancer Research Institute (SCRI) for undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical, clinical, or population-based cancer research; ongoing skills-based training through mentored research projects; and a rich curriculum of cancer seminars, workshops, journal clubs, and grand rounds throughout the academic year. Aim 2. The TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership will provide mentorship and research support for 5 URM cancer fellows (postdocs, junior faculty, or early-stage investigator) to enhance career development and facilitate their transition to independent investigators. The Core will offer an established environment to support the career development of at least 5 cancer fellows, who will receive close mentorship and support for two years, through the implementation of mentored research projects supported by pilot project funds. Aim 3. The TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership will facilitate academic-community research opportunities to support the conduct of culturally appropriate cancer research in partnership with underserved minority communities and populations. The Core will increase access to educational and research opportunities that utilize multidisciplinary approaches and engage underserved minority communities in addressing cancer health disparity research questions through collaborative academic-community partnerships. In sum, the proposed Research Education Core represents an exceptional opportunity to capitalize on the unique resources and well-established collaborations among TU-FCCC, Hunter College, and numerous community-based organizations located along the New York-Pennsylvania corridor, to facilitate and promote research education and training of students and junior investigators who are underrepresented in cancer research.
