Cancer Research Education Program

摘要- CREP 改善癌症健康差异研究和培训的东南伙伴关系（SPIRIT-CHD）， 路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心（LSUHSC）和莫菲特癌症中心之间的合作伙伴关系 (MCC)，为共同努力推进基于生物医学的癌症健康研究提供了一个独特的机会 差距。对具有独特专业知识的文化能力的癌症研究人员的需求尚未得到满足 进行健康差异研究。癌症研究教育计划是一个组成部分， SPIRIT-CHD旨在满足这一需求。CREP将是一个联合、协作、创新的 该计划有三个主要目标：研究经验，课程和推广。1.（研究 经验）：为本科生和医学生提供暑期研究经验 解决生物库、精准医疗和癌症健康差异的问题。我们将建立和扩大一个 LSUHSC和MCC之间的基础设施，用于生物库，精准医学和癌症健康差异 本科生和医科学生的研究培训，重点是代表性不足的少数民族（URM） 学生在资助期内，我们预计共培训44名学员。2.（课程）：提供 接受过癌症研究正规培训的学生，专注于生物银行，精准医学和癌症健康 差距。所有学生（LSUHSC和MCC）将共享相同的整体课程：a）一系列基于网络的 模块，B）在癌症健康差异研究，生物银行，精准医学和生物医学方面的经验 道德，和c）教学学习活动。3.（外联）：扩大现有的 基于社区的参与性 研究（CBPR），让暑期实习生参与对少数群体社区的外联教育活动， 生物银行、精准医疗和癌症健康差异。具体而言，该基础设施将提供 学生有机会沉浸体验和技能发展，在沟通 生物银行、精准医疗和癌症健康差异研究。我们采用 将形成性（过程）和总结性（影响/成果）评价指标纳入每项相关活动 三个目标。这些进程将有助于监测和衡量成功情况，并查明 改进和完善。CREP将有助于创建下一代临床和研究 科学家们准备解决癌症健康差异研究的挑战， 精准医疗和参与生物库。我们还希望这个教育项目能产生 初步数据，这将导致竞争性赠款申请校外同行评审的资金， NIH/NCI（例如，R25e）。

Abstract - CREP The Southeast Partnership for Improving Research and Training in Cancer Health Disparities (SPIRIT-CHD), a partnership between Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) and Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC), presents a unique opportunity for joint efforts to advance biospecimen-based research in cancer health disparities. There is an unmet need for cancer researchers who are culturally competent with unique expertise to conduct health disparities research. The Cancer Research Education Program is an integral component of the SPIRIT-CHD and is designed to meet this need. The CREP will be a joint, collaborative, innovative program with three primary aims: Research Experiences, Curriculum, and Outreach. 1. (Research Experiences): to provide undergraduate and medical students with hands on summer research experiences that address biobanking, precision medicine and cancer health disparities. We will build upon and expand an infrastructure between the LSUHSC and MCC for biobanking, precision medicine and cancer health disparities research training for undergraduate and medical students with emphasis on underrepresented minority (URM) students. Over the funding period, we expect to train a total of 44 trainees. 2. (Curriculum): to provide students with formal training in cancer research, focusing on biobanking, precision medicine and cancer health disparities. All students (LSUHSC and MCC) will share the same overall curriculum: a) a series of web-based modules, b) experiences in cancer health disparities research, biobanking, precision medicine and biomedical ethics, and c) didactic learning activities. 3. (Outreach): to expand existing community-based participatory research (CBPR) by engaging summer interns in outreach education activities to minority communities about biobanking, precision medicine and cancer health disparities. Specifically, this infrastructure will provide students with opportunity for immersion experiences and for skill development in communicating about biobanking, precision medicine, and cancer health disparities research to lay audiences. We have incorporated formative (process) and summative (impact/outcome) evaluation metrics into each of the activities associated with the three aims. These processes will help to monitor and gauge success as well as pinpoint areas for improvement and refinement. The CREP will help to create the next generation of clinical and research scientists who are prepared to address the challenges of cancer health disparities research in relation to precision medicine and participation in biobanking. We also expect this educational program to generate preliminary data that will lead to competitive grant applications for extramural peer-reviewed funding by NIH/NCI (e.g., R25e).
