Research Education Core

摘要：研究教育核心 (This所有三个伙伴机构的核心是相同的） 莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM）/塔斯基吉大学（TU）/ 亚拉巴马在伯明翰奥尼尔综合癌症中心（MSM/TU/UAB OCCC）提出了一个独特的 有机会在我们成功的成就基础上，教育未来的癌症研究科学家， 通过我们的管道，重点是代表性不足的种族/少数民族。在U 54更新中， 应用，我们提出了一个无缝集成我们的癌症教育计划，重点是“硬” （通过以前的U 54资助开发的结构化课程/培训）和“软”技能（例如，职业生涯 发展路线图，面试技巧），以促进通过我们的管道进入癌症 研究连续体，目标是在癌症研究中拥有多样化的劳动力。这将是完成 通过以下具体目标：目标1。发展及推行综合癌症研究教育 计划将高中，本科生和研究生/医学生与博士后研究员，医学 居民，和早期研究人员（ESI），以及高级研究人员/导师，特别关注 在科学领域代表性不足的种族/族裔少数群体。将利用四个综合方案： 通过创建令人兴奋的科学学习实验室（GROW CELLS）来研究健康的机会 （B）癌症研究沉浸式学生计划（CRISP） （c）为研究生和医科学生举办的夏季癌症研究教育方案; 和（d）健康差异研究教育计划（HDREP）的医疗居民，博士后 研究员和ESI。目标2.将各级癌症研究学者与外展核心联系起来， 与社区成员的研究结果，获得社区对相关主题的反馈，以供未来研究 (e.g.,癌症信息咖啡馆），并为非专业观众开发出版物和交流（例如，博客或帖子 社交媒体、YouTube视频、政策简报）。目标3。实施混合方法、三角评估 建议中的研究教育活动。这些努力将增加征聘工作， 保留在科学界，特别是在癌症研究中代表性不足的少数群体，这与 在NIH的多样性声明中表达的目标。

PROGRAM SUMMARY: RESEARCH EDUCATION CORE (This Core is identical for all three Partnering Institutions) The Partnership between Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM)/Tuskegee University (TU)/University of Alabama at Birmingham O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center (MSM/TU/UAB OCCC) presents a distinctive opportunity to build on our successful accomplishments in education of future cancer research scientists moving through our pipeline, with an emphasis on underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities. In this U54 renewal application, we propose a seamless integration of our cancer education programs by focusing on “hard” (structured courses/training developed through previous U54 funding) and “soft” skills (e.g., career development roadmap, interviewing skills) needed to facilitate movement through our pipeline into the cancer research continuum, with the goal of having a diverse workforce in cancer research. This will be accomplished through the following specific aims: Aim 1. To develop and implement integrated cancer research education programs to link high school, undergraduate, and graduate/medical students with postdoctoral fellows, medical residents, and Early Stage Investigators (ESIs), and senior-level researchers/mentors with a particular focus on underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities in science. Four integrated programs will be utilized: (a) the Granting Research Opportunities in Wellness by Creating Exciting Learning Laboratories in Science (GROW CELLS) for high school students; (b) the Cancer Research Immersion Student Program (CRISP) for undergraduate students; (c) the Summer Cancer Research Education Program (SCREP) for graduate and medical students; and (d) the Health Disparities Research Education Program (HDREP) for medical residents, postdoctoral fellows, and ESIs. Aim 2. To link all levels of cancer research scholars with the Outreach Core to share their research findings with community members, obtain community feedback on relevant topics for future research (e.g., Cancer Info Cafés), and develop publications and communications for lay audiences (e.g., blogs or posts on social media, YouTube videos, policy briefs). Aim 3. To implement a mixed-method, triangulated evaluation of the proposed research education activities across the pipeline. These efforts will increase the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities in science, specifically in cancer research, that are congruent with the goals expressed in the NIH’s Interest in Diversity Statement.
