Research Education Core

项目总结 研究教育核心 TUfccc：Carolyn Fang博士(联席领导) 奥洛伦森·奥贡沃比博士 研究教育核心(REC)建立在我们成功的5年U54合作伙伴关系和严谨 坦普尔大学-福克斯·蔡斯癌症中心和亨特的多学科培训环境 大学(HC)。REC的首要目标是在培训和培训中促进包容性的优秀 通过集约化培养早期调查人员和学生的专业和科学发展 在癌症健康差异研究方面的指导经验。REC利用非凡的机构 在培训和研究教育方面的优势，在大学和HC，NCI的杰出核心设施- 指定的综合癌症中心，我们在人口领域的综合跨学科研究基础设施， 临床、转化科学和基础科学，以及两所院校不同的学生人数。除了……之外 研究培训，研究教育核心将在整个学习过程中培养和指导学生，注入 21世纪的协作和沟通技能，并发展职业生涯机会。这个 研究教育核心的首要目标是支持与 加强对多样化劳动力的培训，以满足国家癌症研究的需求。为了实现这一目标， 研究教育核心将针对以下具体目标：目标1.提供指导和研究 支持8个不同的教育机构，以促进他们的职业发展和促进他们向独立的过渡 癌症差异研究中的调查人员。为期两年的奖学金将以一份外部申请结束 资助受训人员转变为独立调查员。目标2.实施增强的10- 面向15名生物医学或医学专业本科生和研究生的每周暑期癌症研究所(SCRI) 每年进行人口癌症研究(5年内有75名学生)。我们成功的SCRI计划，提供 为生物医学、临床或人群领域的本科生和研究生提供独特的培训机会- 以癌症研究为基础的培训将从每年10名学员扩大到15名学员(增加50%)。目标3.促进 学术界的研究机会，以支持在文化上适合的癌症研究的开展 与服务不足的少数族裔社区和人口结成伙伴关系。与COC和KEY合作 社区合作伙伴，REC将为Esis和其他学员建立为期一学期的轮换，以培养更多的 进行社区参与研究以解决健康差距的技能。这些新奇的训练 通过合作的学术-社区合作伙伴关系提供的机会将提供创新的实践 实习生的实地调查经验。总而言之，研究教育核心将在以下方面促进包容性卓越 通过打破系统性障碍(包括结构性不平等和有限的获得机会)建立多样化的劳动力队伍 有指导的培训)，建立社区意识，并提供一条可持续的途径来影响变革和 促进Esis和其他在癌症健康差距领域工作的实习生的职业生涯。

PROJECT SUMMARY Research Education Core TUFCCC: Dr. Carolyn Fang (Co-Leader) HC: Dr. Olorunseun Ogunwobi The Research Education Core (REC) builds upon our successful 5-year U54 Partnership and rigorous multidisciplinary training environment at Temple University-Fox Chase Cancer Center (TUFCCC) and Hunter College (HC). The overarching goal of the REC is to promote inclusive excellence in the training and professional and scientific development of Early-Stage Investigators (ESIs) and students through intensive mentored experiences in cancer health disparities research. The REC leverages exceptional institutional strengths in training and research education across TUFCCC and HC, the outstanding core facilities of an NCI- designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, our combined interdisciplinary research infrastructure in population, clinical, translational and basic sciences, and a diverse student population across both institutions. In addition to research training, the Research Education Core will nurture and mentor students throughout their studies, infuse 21st century skills of collaboration and communication, and develop professional career opportunities. The overarching goal of the Research Education Core is to support educational activities that complement and enhance the training of a diverse workforce to meet the nation’s cancer research needs. To achieve this goal, the Research Education Core will address the following specific aims: Aim 1. Provide mentorship and research support for 8 diverse ESIs to enhance career development and facilitate their transition to independent investigators in cancer disparities research. The two-year fellowship will culminate with an application for external funding to support the trainee’s transition into an independent investigator. Aim 2. Implement an enhanced 10- week Summer Cancer Research Institute (SCRI) for 15 undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical or population cancer research per year (75 students over 5 years). Our successful SCRI program, which offers unique training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in biomedical, clinical, or population- based cancer research, will be expanded from 10 to 15 trainees per year (a 50% increase). Aim 3. Facilitate academic-community research opportunities to support the conduct of culturally appropriate cancer research in partnership with underserved minority communities and populations. In collaboration with the COC and key community partners, the REC will establish a semester-long rotation for ESIs and other trainees to foster greater skills in conducting community-engaged research to address health disparities. These novel training opportunities offered through collaborative academic-community partnerships will provide innovative hands-on fieldwork experiences for trainees. In sum, the Research Education Core will promote inclusive excellence in building a diverse workforce by breaking systemic barriers (including structural inequities and limited access to mentored training), building a sense of community, and offering a sustainable pathway for impacting change and advancing the careers of ESIs and other trainees working in cancer health disparities.
