TRAINNING CORE

克拉克亚特兰大大学是一所主要的少数族裔在职教育机构，为两名本科生提供 以及包括生物学在内的不同学科的研究生课程。考虑到社会、教育和健康 在美国的差异中，从CAU毕业的学生更有能力应对这些挑战。 非洲裔美国人在生物学研究中的代表性也明显不足。这部分是由于缺乏 机构承诺、教育设施、本科阶段的早期干预计划以及 在以少数民族为主的地区缺乏强有力的研究生课程。这项与学校有关的建议 在为有资格的本科生和研究生准备 在前列腺癌研究方面有很强的敬业精神。这样一种针对疾病的方案设计 特别是对于更容易患前列腺癌的少数群体来说， 我们。因此，拟议的培训核心的主要目标是“确定和招聘、传授质量 为少数族裔学生在本科生和研究生的癌症研究生涯提供研究和培训 这些目标将通过下列具体目标来实现： 1.有效的研究生和本科生招聘战略。 2.制定有重点的前列腺癌研究计划。 3.开展活动，让学生在癌症研究中获得竞争优势。 4.培养学生从事前列腺癌研究的独立职业生涯。 确定有资格的学生的早期干预和支持计划需要在这些之前到位 由于缺乏对教育的支持或承诺，学生会转行从事其他职业或选择其他职业 机构。这项建议的总体目标是提供强有力的支持，帮助学生实现他们的 职业研究目标。为了实现这些目标，我们必须接触少数人。 由CAU服务的社区，发展具有前列腺癌研究证明的教师导师 和机构承诺。顺便说一句，社会工作学院有一个强大的外展机构 在当地社区，生物科学有一支强大的致力于前列腺癌的教师队伍 癌症研究和CAU已将CCRTD确定为卓越中心。因此，基本的 有部门和机构一级的基础设施来管理拟议的培训方案。

Clark Atlanta University is a premier minority serving educational institution that imparts both undergraduate and graduate programs in various disciplines including biology. Given social, educational and health disparities in the US, graduating students from CAU are in a better position to address these challenges. African Americans are also significantly under-represented in biological research. This is partly due to lack of institutional commitment, educational facilities, early intervention programs at the undergraduate level and lack of strong graduate programs in predominantly minority regions. This proposal in association with school of social work at CAU is a step forward in preparing deserving undergraduate and graduate students for a strong and committed career in prostate cancer research. Such a disease specific program designed specifically for a minority population that is more susceptible to prostate cancer is lacking any where in the US. The primary objective of the proposed training core is therefore "To identify and recruit, impart quality research and training to minority students for a career in cancer research at the undergraduate and graduate level". The objectives will be accomplished by the following specific aims: 1. Effective recruitment strategy at the graduate and undergraduate level. 2. Development of focused prostate cancer research programs. 3. Development of activities that will allow students to gain competitive advantage in cancer research. 4. Train students for an independent career in prostate cancer research. Early intervention and support programs that identify deserving students need to be in place before these students drift into other careers or options for the lack of support or commitment from their educational institutions. The overall aim of this proposal is to provide strong support that will help students achieve their career research goals. In order to achieve these goals, it is imperative that we reach out to the minority community that is served by CAU, develop faculty mentors with demonstrated research in prostate cancer and institutional commitment. Incidentally, the School of Social Work department has a strong outreach program in local community, the biological sciences have a strong faculty that is committed to prostate cancer research and CAU has identified CCRTD as the center for excellence. Therefore, basic infrastructure at the departmental and institutional level exists to administer the proposed training program.
