项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The underrepresentation of minorities in basic, clinical, and behavioral research has been viewed as a significant barrier to addressing cancer disparities and the inclusion of minority populations in clinical trials. Thus, there is a need to develop a cadre of racially and ethnically diverse, well-trained scientists. In this application, w will address the following barriers that underrepresented minorities (URMs) face with a comprehensive, rigorous, and innovative approach that will create opportunities and promote careers in cancer research for these researchers and students: (1) the lack of committed role models, (2) inadequate mentoring, (3) insufficient preparation, (4) low expectations, and (5) unfamiliarity with the culture and idioms of science. Our application focuses on developing a Florida Minority Cancer Research & Training (MiCaRT) Center that will expand our cancer research and training opportunities for URM faculty and students at UF and FAMU and ultimately grow the number of URM scientists and clinical investigators in biomedical research. The University of Florida (UF)-Florida A&M University (FAMU) MiCaRT Center will build on our existing cancer research and training opportunities to grow the number of URM scientists and clinical investigators in higher education and academic leadership. The combination of research training and career development plans for program participants will also create a hub of cancer disparity research activities at both UF and FAMU. Program success will be measured by: (1) admission of students to graduate or medical school for oncology-related training; (2) peer-reviewed presentations; (3) peer-reviewed publications; and (4) extramural NIH/NCI grant submissions.

描述（由申请人提供）：少数群体在基础、临床和行为研究中的代表性不足被视为解决癌症差异和将少数群体纳入临床试验的重大障碍，因此，有必要培养一支骨干队伍。在此应用程序中，我们将通过全面、严格和创新的方法解决代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 面临的以下障碍，从而为癌症研究创造机会并促进其职业生涯。这些研究人员和学生：（1）缺乏忠诚的榜样，（2）指导不足，（3）准备不足，（4）期望值低，以及（5）不熟悉科学文化和习惯。建立佛罗里达少数族裔癌症研究和培训 (MiCaRT) 中心，该中心将扩大佛罗里达大学和佛罗里达大学 URM 教职员工和学生的癌症研究和培训机会，并最终增加佛罗里达大学生物医学研究领域 URM 科学家和临床研究人员的数量。 (UF)-佛罗里达农工大学 (FAMU) MiCaRT 中心将以我们现有的癌症研究和培训机会为基础，增加 URM 科学家和临床研究人员的数量，将高等教育和学术领导力项目的研究培训和职业发展计划相结合。参与者还将在佛罗里达大学和 FAMU 建立癌症差异研究活动中心，衡量项目成功与否的标准是：(1) 学生进入研究生院或医学院接受肿瘤学相关培训；(2) 同行评审的演讲； (3) 同行评审出版物；以及 (4) NIH/NCI 外部拨款申请。
