Training/Education Core

USF-Moffitt跨学科CHD-COE的研究培训/教育核心（RTEC）的总体目标是培养一支有能力，训练有素的少数民族研究人员和医疗保健专业人员的骨干队伍，他们将准备通过跨学科研究有效地解决佛罗里达州和美国各地的癌症差异。RTEC活动的目标人群将是整个教育过程中的学生（本科生，研究生，博士生，博士后），以及初级，高级教师和社区合作伙伴/成员。我们建议根据两个机构开发和实施的类似计划的综合经验，成功和挑战建立这种合作企业，以解决癌症差异的研究教育和培训。此外，与跨学科（人口、基础和临床科学）癌症研究的主题保持一致，我们将把RTEC活动的重点放在少数民族和得不到充分服务的人口中不成比例的癌症发病率和死亡率上。为了实现这些总体目标，我们将利用USF-Moffitt指导委员会和外部咨询委员会（详见第五节B）的知识和专长，为开发和维持这一核心提供必要的领导。

The overall goal of the Research Training/Education Core (RTEC) of USF-Moffitt Transdisciplinary CHD-COE is to develop a cadre of competent, well-trained minority researchers and healthcare professionals who will be prepared to effectively address cancer disparity in the state of Florida and around the United States of America through transdisciplinary research. The target population for the RTEC activities will be students in the entire continuum of their education (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, post-doctoral), as well as junior, senior faculty and community partners/members. We propose to establish this collaborative enterprise based on the combined experiences, successes and challenges of similar programs that have been developed and implemented in the two respective institutions to address research education and training in cancer disparity. In addition, keeping with the theme of transdisciplinary (population, basic and clinical sciences) cancer research, we will focus the RTEC activities on the disproportionate cancer morbidity and mortality in minority and underserved populations. To meet these overall goals, we will draw upon the knowledge and expertise of the USF-Moffitt Steering Committee, the External Advisory Committee (described in detail in Section: V,B), will provide leadership necessary for developing and sustaining this Core.
