San Diego State University Advancing Cancer Careers for ExceLlence (ACCEL)

项目摘要/摘要 圣地亚哥州立大学先进癌症事业卓越计划(Accel)，与 加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)摩尔斯癌症中心，将提供70名SDSU博士后研究员 和研究生每年都有一系列协调和创新的资源来支持卓越， 纳入和转化癌症研究科学力量。Accel将利用现有基础设施 并制定新的方案，以a)扩大和加强代表不足(UR)学者的渠道 从事癌症研究；以及b)扩大SDSU支持和推进UR博士后和博士后的能力 癌症研究学者。 为了实现这些更大的目标，已经制定了三个截然不同和相辅相成的目标。由一名 培训具有不同专业领域的冠军(TC)团队，Accel计划将a)实施指导 活动和社区建设参与，减少孤立感，增加 属于增加博士后和博士后学者对癌症研究的参与度和留存率； B)为博士生提供有组织的支助服务，包括技能发展课程和 博士后学者将拓宽癌症研究的进展并促进科学研究的多样性 劳动力；以及c)为SDSU学生和学者建立与现有支持的量身定制和可持续的联系 并通过国家癌症研究所和其他合作伙伴提供资源。 虽然Accel计划的开发和实施将从与 现有的合作伙伴和项目，包括加州大学圣地亚哥分校摩尔斯癌症中心，加州大学圣迭戈分校创建 癌症伙伴关系，以及NCI减少癌症健康差距(CRCHD)培训导航， Accel还将推出创新的方法来解决隔离问题，并在 与技能培养同步进行。

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT San Diego State University’s Advancing Cancer Careers for ExceLlence (ACCEL) Program, in partnership with University of California San Diego (UCSD) Moores Cancer Center, will provide 70 SDSU postdoctoral fellows and graduate students each year with a coordinated and innovative array of resources to support excellence, inclusion and transformation of the cancer research science force. ACCEL will leverage existing infrastructure and develop new programming to a) expand and strengthen the pipeline of underrepresented (UR) scholars pursuing cancer research; and b) broaden SDSU’s capacity to support and advance UR pre- and postdoctoral cancer research scholars. Three distinct and complimentary aims have been developed to meet these larger objectives. Led by a Training Champion (TC) team with diverse areas of expertise, the ACCEL program will a) implement mentoring activities and community-building engagement that reduce feelings of isolation and increase sense of belonging to increase doctoral student and postdoctoral scholar participation and retention in cancer research; b) provide structured support services including skills development courses for doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars to broaden advancement in cancer research and promote diversity in the scientific workforce; and c) build tailored and sustainable linkages for SDSU students and scholars to existing support and resources through the National Cancer Institute and other partners. While ACCEL program development and implementation will benefit greatly from strong integration with existing partners and programs including the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, SDSU-UCSD CREATE Cancer Partnership, and the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) training navigation, ACCEL will also introduce innovative methodologies to address isolation and build community and belonging in tandem with skills building.
