Outreach and Dissemination

传播和推广，告诉世界我们的PSOC正在做什么，并吸引那些从中心以外的人与我们合作，是我们使命的关键部分。我们提出的PSOC这一部分的主要目标是：（i）向物理科学/癌症生物学社区传播我们的PSOC能力和结果;（11）将PSOC之外的专业知识与我们合作的策略和机制， 试点项目外展和传播将首先集中在教育我们的PSOC以外的那些有兴趣与我们合作的微流控微生境补丁的能力和力量，特别是在我们拟议的工作的核心，以及微流控和生物学研究的接口。(The微生境斑块和微流体技术在N2/Project 4和N4中有详细的技术描述。 微流体共享资源设施）。在实践中，这些将作为物理科学与癌症生物学在我们中心相遇的焦点。我们将教育研究人员不仅在这一领域的背景和能力，但使用微流体设施在普林斯顿给他们的手训练，使他们能够使用这样的芯片自己。该设施将被设置为使远程合作者可以首先远程设计和制造芯片，然后他们将能够远程运行和控制 在普林斯顿的实验室里进行微流体实验。 还将提供扩展的外部访问者计划，目标是发展合作和试点项目。因此，我们PSOC之外的人可以详细了解我们独特的人才是什么，然后可以以试点项目甚至跨网络项目的形式在他们的实验室和PSOC之间提出有意义的合作。

Dissemination and outreach to both tell the world what our PSOC is doing and attract those from outside the center to work with us is a key part of our mission. The main goals of this section of our proposed PSOC are (i) Dissemination to the physical science/cancer biology communities of our PSOC capabilities and results (11) Strategies and mechanisms to bring expertise outside ofthe PSOC into collaboration with us, leading to pilot projects The outreach and dissemination will be initially focused on educating those outside our PSOC interested in working with us on the capabilities and power of microfludic microhabitat patches in particular, which are at the heart of our proposed work, and the interface of microfluidics and biology research in general. (The microhabitat patches and microfluidics are described technically in detail in N2/Project 4 and the N4 Microfluidic Shared Resource Facility). These in practice will serve as the focal point for where the physical science meets the cancer biology in our Center. We will educate researchers not just in the background and capabilities in this field, but use the Microfluidic facility at Princeton to give them hands on training so that they can use such chips by themselves. The facility will be set up so that remote collaborators can first design and have chips made remotely, and then so that they will be able to remotely run and control microfluidic experiments in the facility at Princeton. Extended outside visitor programs will also be available, with a goal of developing collaborations and a pilot project. Thus those outside our PSOC can learn in detail what our unique talents are, and then can then propose meaningful collaborations between their labs and the PSOC in the form of a pilot project, or even transnetwork projects.
