项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY The setting of this training activity within the Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE) between the University of Guam (UOG) and the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center (UHCC) is unique in its ethnic diversity and its distant location. Pacific Islanders are extremely underrepresented in the nation’s biomedical workforce, which limits progress in research and prevention of cancer health disparities. PIPCHE addresses training Pacific Islander cancer researchers in the context of the vast diversity and geography of the region. The impact of the two previous cycles is remarkable. Without a cancer center in Guam, young researchers and students had no opportunity to be involved in cancer research despite the high incidence of many cancers. During the past 10 years, an infrastructure for research training in Guam and Micronesia has been built; many UOG faculty members are collaborating in cancer research with UHCC. Since the initiation of PIPCHE, two previous trainees moved into faculty positions at UOG, two graduates supported in cycle one are now in faculty positions on the US mainland, and one trainee is now employed at the National Institute of Minority Health Disparities. To date, ten trainees have entered doctoral programs in different locations. Of the 45 PIPCHE research assistants, at least nine went on graduate and professional degree programs. This Research Education Core (REC) will continue the successful path with three specific aims: 1) Provide guidance, support and opportunities to acquire research skills and experience to Pacific Islander students pursuing a master’s degree with a focus on cancer-related health disparities in the Pacific Island region. Students will be supported at UOG, or at UHCC in programs not offered at UOG, and mentored in a research project under the supervision of one or more PIPCHE faculty. An expanded curriculum consisting of an online course and a journal club will address critical current topics in cancer research. 2) Provide guidance, support and opportunities to acquire research skills and experience for students interested in cancer health disparities in the Pacific who are enrolled in a graduate degree program (master’s or doctoral). Students will participate in biomedical, epidemiologic, psychosocial, and community-based research projects led by UHCC faculty. 3) Support, guide and develop Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) to become independent investigators in cancer health disparities with the help of a mentoring committee, an annual manuscript and grant writing workshop, attendance at scientific meetings, and course releases. Important enhancements are incorporated into the proposed program: increasing support from four to six UOG master’s students per year due to high demand; novel online modules related to health disparities in the Pacific; extension of UHCC funding from doctoral to master’s students; travel scholarships for trainees to attend scientific meetings; an annual intensive writing workshop at UOG to improve output in published manuscripts and grant applications; implementation of mentoring committees and funds to provide ESIs with protected time for grant and manuscript writing.

项目概要本次培训活动在太平洋岛屿癌症健康公平合作伙伴关系 (PIPCHE) 内开展关岛大学 (UOG) 和夏威夷大学癌症中心 (UHCC) 之间的独特之处在于种族多样性及其偏远地区的太平洋岛民在该国的代表性极低。生物医学劳动力，限制了癌症健康差异研究和预防的进展。在太平洋岛民癌症研究人员的巨大多样性和地理背景下进行培训关岛没有癌症中心，前两个周期的影响是显着的。尽管癌症发病率很高，但研究人员和学生没有机会参与癌症研究在过去 10 年里，关岛和密克罗尼西亚的研究培训基础设施得到了发展。自 UOG 启动以来，许多 UOG 教职员工都在与 UHCC 合作进行癌症研究。 PIPCHE，两名先前的实习生进入 UOG 担任教职，第一轮支持的两名毕业生是目前在美国大陆担任教职，一名实习生现受聘于美国国家研究所迄今为止，已有十名学员在不同地点进入了博士课程。 45 名 PIPCHE 研究助理中，至少有 9 名继续攻读研究生和专业学位课程。研究教育核心 (REC) 将继续走成功之路，实现三个具体目标：1) 提供为太平洋岛民学生提供指导、支持和获得研究技能和经验的机会攻读硕士学位，重点研究太平洋岛屿地区与癌症相关的健康差异。学生将在 UOG 或 UHCC 获得 UOG 未提供的课程的支持，并在研究中得到指导由一名或多名 PIPCHE 教师监督的项目由在线课程组成的扩展课程。课程和期刊俱乐部将讨论当前癌症研究的关键主题 2) 提供指导、支持。为对癌症健康感兴趣的学生提供获得研究技能和经验的机会太平洋地区就读研究生学位课程（硕士或博士）的学生会存在差异。参与 UHCC 领导的生物医学、流行病学、社会心理学和社区研究项目 3) 支持、指导和培养早期研究人员（ESI）成为独立研究人员。在指导委员会、年度手稿和资助写作的帮助下解决癌症健康差异研讨会、参加科学会议和课程发布都纳入了重要的增强功能。纳入拟议计划：由于高水平，每年增加四到六名 UOG 硕士生的支持需求；与太平洋地区健康差异相关的新型在线模块；博士生到硕士生参加年度强化科学会议的旅行奖学金；在 UOG 举办写作研讨会，以提高已发表手稿的产出和资助申请的实施；指导委员会和基金为 ESI 提供受保护的资助和稿件撰写时间。
