TRAINNING CORE

克拉克亚特兰大大学是一个首屈一指的少数民族服务的教育机构，赋予本科和 以及包括生物学在内的各个学科的研究生课程。考虑到社会、教育和健康 在美国的差距，从CAU毕业的学生是在一个更好的位置来应对这些挑战。 非裔美国人在生物研究中的代表性也明显不足。部分原因是缺乏 机构承诺，教育设施，本科阶段的早期干预计划， 在少数民族占主导地位的地区缺乏强有力的研究生课程。这项建议与学校 在CAU的社会工作是一个进步，准备值得本科生和研究生的一个 在前列腺癌研究方面有着坚定和坚定的职业生涯。这种疾病的具体方案设计 特别是对少数人群更容易患前列腺癌是缺乏任何地方， 我们因此，拟议的核心培训的主要目标是“确定和征聘高质量的人员， 研究和培训少数民族学生在癌症研究的职业生涯在本科和研究生 水平”。将通过以下具体目标实现这些目标： 1.在研究生和本科生一级有效的招聘战略。 2.发展重点前列腺癌研究计划。 3.开展活动，使学生在癌症研究中获得竞争优势。 4.培养学生在前列腺癌研究的独立职业生涯。 早期干预和支持计划，确定值得的学生需要在这些之前到位 学生们由于缺乏教育方面的支持或承诺而转向其他职业或选择。 机构职能体系该提案的总体目标是提供强有力的支持，帮助学生实现他们的目标。 职业研究目标。为了实现这些目标，我们必须向少数群体伸出援手， 由CAU服务的社区，培养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，社会工作系的学校有一个强大的外展 计划在当地社区，生物科学有一个强大的教师，致力于前列腺 癌症研究和CAU已确定CCRTD为卓越中心。因此，基本 在部门和机构一级有管理拟议培训方案的基础设施。

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.
