PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT–Cancer Research Career Enhancement and Related Activities A strategic goal for the SJCCC is to develop a well-trained, diverse biomedical workforce through research education, training, and career-development activities that promote understanding of the biology and treatment of childhood cancer. Research shows that early intervention strategies, beginning in elementary and middle school, are essential to enhancing the biomedical careers pipeline, especially for students from underrepresented backgrounds. The SJCCC provides the financial support, leadership and institutional infrastructure to support this comprehensive biomedical training pipeline, initiating efforts in elementary school and continuing through the faculty level. Career enhancement activities are led by the Associate Director for Education and Training, Dr. Gerard Zambetti, who also serves as an institutional Vice President and Director of the Academic Programs Office in Biomedical Sciences, allowing a seamless integration of SJCCC and institutional efforts. Dr. Zambetti coordinates the efforts of a qualified group of staff supporting elementary education and outreach, pre- and postdoctoral education and training, and faculty career development activities. He also works closely with the Center Director, Senior Leadership and Program Leaders to develop, evaluate and oversee an extensive portfolio of career enhancement activities across this spectrum. For example, the SJCCC Cancer Education and Outreach Program has worked with thousands of K-5 students and teachers, particularly in underrepresented communities, to inspire pursuit of research careers, and our NCI-funded Pediatric Oncology Education Program has trained more than 1200 students, 23% of whom are underrepresented minorities and 87% of whom have gone on to receive doctoral degrees. Dr. Zambetti and SJCCC members were also instrumental in the development and launch of the St. Jude Graduate School in Biomedical Sciences, a new PhD program focused on translational research that matriculated its first class of 12 students in 2017. The SJCCC also launched the annual Science Scholars of Tomorrow Symposium to provide high school students and teachers insight into cutting-edge pediatric cancer research and the Clinical Shadowing Program for postdoctoral fellows to develop experience in how laboratory research relates to the treatment and care of pediatric cancer patients. In addition, the Center initiated new grant-writing workshops for postdoctoral fellows and faculty to support development of their research careers. Future plans for the next project period include the continued growth and accreditation of the St. Jude Graduate School, the addition of a new Masters program in Global Health, establishment of a certificate-based program for physicians and healthcare providers (St. Jude Global Academy), expansion of our K-12 educational efforts, and a focused initiative to expand NIH/NCI-funded training and educational programs (e.g., R25, T32, K awards) for students and fellows.

项目摘要/摘要——癌症研究职业提升及相关活动 SJCCC 的战略目标是通过研究培养一支训练有素、多元化的生物医学队伍 促进对生物学和治疗的理解的教育、培训和职业发展活动 研究表明，从小学和中学开始的早期干预策略。 学校，对于加强生物医学职业渠道至关重要，特别是对于来自 SJCCC 提供财政支持、领导和制度支持。 支持这一综合生物医学培训渠道的基础设施，从小学开始努力 并继续进行教师级别的职业提升活动，由副主任领导。 教育和培训，Gerard Zambetti 博士，同时担任机构副总裁兼主任 生物医学科学学术项目办公室，允许 SJCCC 和 Zambetti 博士负责协调支持小学的合格工作人员团队的工作。 教育和推广、博士前和博士后教育和培训以及教师职业发展活动。 他还与中心主任、高级领导层和项目负责人密切合作，开发、评估 并监督整个范围内广泛的职业提升活动。 SJCCC 癌症教育和外展计划已与数千名 K-5 学生和教师合作， 特别是在代表性不足的社区，以激发人们对研究事业的追求，以及我们 NCI 资助的 儿科肿瘤教育项目已培训学生1200余名，其中23%为 代表性不足的少数族裔，其中 87% 继续获得博士学位。 SJCCC 成员还在圣裘德研究生院的发展和启动中发挥了重要作用。 生物医学科学，一个新的博士项目，专注于转化研究，招收了第一批 2017年12名学生。SJCCC还发起了一年一度的明日科学学者研讨会，为学生提供 高中生和教师深入了解尖端儿科癌症研究和临床见习 为博士后研究员提供实验室研究如何与治疗和治疗相关的经验的计划 此外，该中心还为博士后举办了新的资助写作研讨会。 研究员和教职员工支持他们下一个项目期间的未来计划的发展。 包括圣裘德研究生院的持续发展和认证，增加新的硕士学位 全球健康计划，为医生和医疗保健提供者建立基于证书的计划 （圣裘德全球学院），扩大我们的 K-12 教育工作，并采取有针对性的举措来扩大 NIH/NCI 资助的针对学生和研究员的培训和教育计划（例如 R25、T32、K 奖）。
