The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), the University of South Carolina (USC), and three historically black colleges/universities – Claflin University (CU), South Carolina State University (SCSU), and Voorhees College (VC) – have joined forces under the larger aegis of the South Carolina Cancer Health Equity Consortium (SC CHEC) to develop this application for an R25E NIH/NCI Cancer Education Grants Program. Together, these institutions have created an innovative, inter-institutional, 14-week summer course. This is combined with a hands-on laboratory research training platform and career mentoring by some of the nation's leading cancer researchers to attract and catalyze a new generation of diverse biomedical scientists. Within this new five-year initiative, 80 undergraduate juniors and seniors (designated as SC CHEC Student Fellows) from USC, CU, SCSU, and VC will engage with investigators at the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated cancer center, to expose them to the latest advances in biomedical research spanning basic, clinical, and population sciences with an emphasis on cancer disparity dynamics in South Carolina (SC). The curriculum and training of this new initiative are focused on four of the most disparate cancers in terms of incidence, morbidity, and mortality in SC – breast, prostate, head/neck, and cervical cancer. Health outcomes for patients diagnosed with these four cancers are strongly influenced by race, ethnicity, urban/rural residence, socioeconomic position, and potentially biology. This R25E program's primary strategy will employ in-person classroom and laboratory instruction within the context of contemporary scientific approaches to cancer research at MUSC. These will be complemented by selected clinical and biotechnology-focused rotations, community engagement, and Graduate Record Examination preparation. The SC CHEC leadership strongly believes that promoting interest, career development, and commitment from the Millennial Generation (those born in the 1990s) to cancer biomedical and biobehavioral research is a critical step to attaining health equity and improved health outcomes in SC and beyond. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the summer of 2020, the SC CHEC program was unable to provide the cancer research training to undergraduate students in SC that is such a vital resource in kick-starting their academic research careers. The SC CHEC is a high-impact program. Since its inception in 2016, 100% of the 61 SC CHEC Student Fellows are either still enrolled in undergraduate college/university or are enrolled in graduate/professional school. The 61 SC CHEC Student Fellows have given 77 scientific presentations and co-authored 4 peer-reviewed publications (with several additional manuscripts in progress. The funding provided through this Administrative Supplement will allow us to continue this valuable and important work.

南卡罗来纳医科大学 (MUSC)、南卡罗来纳大学 (USC) 和三所 历史悠久的黑人学院/大学 – 克拉夫林大学 (CU)、南卡罗来纳州立大学 (SCSU) 和 Voorhees College (VC) – 在南卡罗来纳州癌症健康公平组织的更大支持下联合起来 联盟 (SC CHEC) 为 R25E NIH/NCI 癌症教育资助计划开发此应用程序。 这些机构共同创建了一个创新的、跨机构的、为期 14 周的夏季课程。 结合实践实验室研究培训平台和一些国家的职业指导 领先的癌症研究人员吸引和催化新一代多样化的生物医学科学家。 在这个新的五年计划中，80 名本科生和大四学生（被指定为 SC CHEC 学生研究员） 来自 USC、CU、SCSU 和 VC 的人员将与 MUSC Hollings 癌症中心的研究人员进行接触，该中心是一家国家 癌症研究所 (NCI) 指定癌症中心，让他们了解生物医学研究的最新进展 涵盖基础科学、临床科学和人口科学，重点关注南方的癌症差异动态 卡罗莱纳州 (SC)。这项新举措的课程和培训重点关注四个最不同的领域。 SC 中癌症的发病率、发病率和死亡率 - 乳腺癌、前列腺癌、头颈癌和宫颈癌 被诊断患有这四种癌症的患者的健康结果很大程度上受到种族的影响， 种族、城市/农村居住地、社会经济地位和潜在生物学是 R25E 计划的主要内容。 战略将在当代背景下采用面对面的课堂和实验室教学 MUSC 的癌症研究科学方法将得到选定的临床和研究的补充。 以生物技术为重点的轮换、社区参与和研究生入学考试准备。 SC CHEC 领导层坚信，促进员工的兴趣、职业发展和承诺 千禧一代（20世纪90年代出生的人）对癌症生物医学和生物行为研究至关重要 不幸的是，由于以下原因，在 SC 及其他地区实现健康公平和改善健康结果的步骤。 COVID-19 大流行，2020 年夏季，SC CHEC 计划无法提供癌症 为南卡罗莱纳州本科生提供研究培训，这是启动他们学术的重要资源 SC CHEC 是一个高影响力的项目，自 2016 年成立以来，100% 参与了 61 个 SC 项目。 CHEC 学生研究员要么仍在本科学院/大学就读，要么就读于 研究生/专业学校的 61 名 SC CHEC 学生研究员进行了 77 场科学演讲和 共同撰写了 4 篇同行评审出版物（还有几份其他手稿正在进行中。 通过本行政补充文件提供的信息将使我们能够继续这项有价值且重要的工作。
