项目摘要

Abstract / Summary Cancer is among the leading causes of death in the United States. Lack of access to advances in cancer prevention, early screening, and treatment, particularly in low socioeconomic, underserved communities, are cited as substantial barriers to improving cancer survivorship. Public health experts have indicated that the social environment in which people live, learn, work, and play also contributes to notable cancer health inequities and is among the most important determinants of health throughout life. Overcoming the growing complexity of this problem will require a much larger, diverse, and dedicated workforce. The current pipeline of cancer-focused health care professionals and researchers that understand and manage the impact of these determinants of health and appropriately engage and connect with their target communities and patient populations is dangerously inadequate and likely to widen the gap even further. To address this critical need to expand our future culturally competent, cancer-focused workforce, the University of Cincinnati (UC) and its affiliates collectively seek to establish and support a Cancer Research Scholars Program (CRSP). Our focus will be on creating unique and inspiring research and educational experiences to qualified undergraduate students of all races and backgrounds from across the nation and to implement a program that greatly increases the number of graduate program matriculants. Important to our success will be CRSP's highly-engaged Cancer Mentor Network (CMN). We are adopting a systems-over-silos approach (i.e., an approach that crosses health care professions and covers the entire spectrum of cancer care built around the CMN including faculty from across the UC Cancer Center and residing at both UC and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Our faculty are focused on topics across the cancer continuum including cancer etiology, prevention/screening/health promotion, clinical cancer research and survivorship. To ensure our Scholars' success, we will: (1) proactively recruit 20-22 outstanding summer scholars, including at least 8 underrepresented minorities, with an interest in cancer research with the established infrastructure of our highly successful Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program; (2) provide training in the essentials of research (e.g., responsible conduct of research, research design, analysis, etc.), the fundamentals of cancer research across the continuum and an understanding of social determinants of health and their impact on cancer inequities; (3) offer research experiences in top-notch cancer laboratories that closely match the Scholars' career interests; (4) actively engage them in a supportive and enthusiastic environment in which they interact professionally and socially with other Scholars, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior and senior faculty; (5) provide innovative education that strengthens academic and professional development to facilitate entry into cancer graduate programs and cancer career pathways; (6) deliver team science, cultural competency, micro-aggression and implicit bias training for the entire CRSP/CMN community; (7) offer community-engaged, immersive, and cancer-focused field experiences to our Scholars and CMN to encourage future community-engaged research, education and outreach; and (8) ensure long-term investment in each Scholar that extends beyond the initial proposed summer funding period. We expect that our program will, if successful, have a payoff of decades of enthusiastic and dedicated cancer researchers for generations to come.

摘要 /摘要癌症是美国死亡的主要原因之一。早期无法获得预防癌症的进展筛查和治疗，特别是在社会经济低，服务不足的社区中，被认为是实质性的障碍改善癌症生存。公共卫生专家表示，人们生活，学习，工作和游戏也有助于著名的癌症健康不平等，并且是健康的最重要决定因素之一一生。克服这个问题的日益增长的复杂性将需要更大，多样和专用劳动力。当前以癌症为中心的医疗保健专业人员和研究人员了解和管理的研究人员这些决定因素对健康的影响，并适当互动并与他们的目标社区和患者建立联系人口危险不足，可能会进一步扩大差距。为了满足扩大我们的关键需求未来的文化能力，以癌症为中心的劳动力，辛辛那提大学（UC）及其分支机构共同寻求建立和支持癌症研究学者计划（CRSP）。我们的重点将是创造独特而鼓舞人心全国各地的所有种族和背景的合格本科生的研究和教育经验并实施一项大大增加研究生课程数量的计划。对我们的成功很重要将是CRSP高度参与的癌症导师网络（CMN）。我们正在采用一种系统跨性别方法（即跨越医疗保健专业并涵盖CMN周围建立的全部癌症护理的方法来自加州大学癌症中心的教职员工，居住在加州大学和辛辛那提儿童医院医疗中心。我们的教师专注于整个癌症连续性的主题，包括癌症病因，预防/筛查/健康促进，临床癌症研究和生存。为了确保我们的学者的成功，我们将：（1）主动招募20-22名杰出夏季学者，包括至少8个代表性不足的少数民族，对癌症研究感兴趣我们非常成功的夏季本科研究奖学金（SURF）计划的基础设施；（2）提供培训在研究的基本要素（例如，负责任的研究，研究设计，分析等）中，整个连续体的癌症研究以及对健康的社会决定因素及其对癌症的影响不平等；（3）在一流的癌症实验室中提供与学者职业兴趣相匹配的一流癌症实验室的研究经验；（4）积极参与他们的支持和热情的环境，在这些环境中，他们在专业和社会上进行互动与其他学者，研究生，博士后研究员以及初级和高级教师；（5）提供创新的教育这加强了学术和专业发展，以促进进入癌症研究生计划和癌症职业途径；（6）提供整个团队科学，文化能力，微观攻击和隐性偏见培训 CRSP/CMN社区；（7）为我们的学者提供社区参与，身临其境和以癌症为中心的现场经验和CMN鼓励未来的社区参与研究，教育和外展；（8）确保长期投资在每个学者中，都超出了最初提议的夏季资助期。我们希望我们的计划将会，如果成功，有几十年的热情和敬业的癌症研究人员的回报。
