Through cancer education and cancer research training of students and faculty, Dine College (DC), a multicampus, undergraduate, tribal college chartered by the Navajo Nation and the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center (Mayo) will seek to increase first and second year Native American undergraduates' interest in and commitment to pursuing biomedical coursework and careers, especially in cancer research, that will benefit their communities. Shared Specific Aims are:1) Cancer Education - Faculty Training: Develop joint training programs between DC and Mayo to: (a) enhance cultural competence of Mayo investigators regarding Native American (especially Navajo) values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices regarding cancer; (b) develop enhanced outreach education at DC for Navajo Nation communities regarding causes and available treatments for various forms of cancer; and (c) train DC investigators in cancer research and educate Mayo and DC investigators and Navajo community members to recognize cancer health disparities and the role of research in addressing and reducing them; 2) Cancer Education - Student Curriculum: Jointly develop, pilot, refine, and build commitment for a cancer education curriculum to prepare DC students to participate in an undergraduate cancer research training fellowship/internship at Mayo; 3) Cancer Research Training - Student Research Training: Jointly develop and pilot a cancer-focused summer mentored undergraduate research fellowship modeled on Mayo's SURF (summer undergraduate research fellowship) program to establish a clinical cancer research training fellowship program for DC students at Mayo. To accomplish these aims, we will: 1) conduct a needs assessment of Mayo investigators, DC faculty and staff and Navajo community members to guide development of the appropriate skills, including skills to recognize and address cancer health disparities among Native Americans; 2) hold a series of colloquia to engage scientists, bioethicists, community members, students and others in a dialog on issues related to the role of research in reducing cancer disparities in Native American communities; and 3) implement, pilot test, and refine a student cancer curriculum and summer research training program for Native American students.

通过对学生和教师进行癌症教育和癌症研究培训，戴恩学院 (DC) 是一所多校区、 由纳瓦霍族和梅奥诊所癌症中心特许的本科、部落学院 （梅奥）将寻求提高美国原住民本科生一年级和二年级的兴趣 致力于追求生物医学课程和职业，特别是在癌症研究方面，这将受益 他们的社区。共同的具体目标是：1) 癌症教育 - 教师培训：开展联合培训 DC 和梅奥之间的计划旨在： (a) 提高梅奥调查人员在以下方面的文化能力： 美洲原住民（尤其是纳瓦霍人）关于癌症的价值观、信仰、态度和做法； (b) 发展 加强华盛顿特区纳瓦霍族社区有关原因和可用的外展教育 各种癌症的治疗； (c) 培训 DC 研究人员进行癌症研究并教育 Mayo 和华盛顿调查人员和纳瓦霍社区成员认识到癌症健康差异和癌症的作用 研究解决和减少这些问题； 2) 癌症教育-学生课程：联合开发、试点、 完善癌症教育课程并做出承诺，让华盛顿特区的学生做好参与癌症教育课程的准备 梅奥大学本科癌症研究培训奖学金/实习； 3) 癌症研究培训 - 学生研究培训：联合开发和试点以癌症为重点的暑期指导本科生 研究奖学金仿照梅奥的 SURF（暑期本科生研究奖学金）计划 为梅奥大学的华盛顿特区学生建立临床癌症研究培训奖学金计划。为了完成 为了实现这些目标，我们将： 1) 对梅奥研究人员、华盛顿特区教职员工和纳瓦霍人进行需求评估 社区成员指导适当技能的发展，包括识别和解决问题的技能 美洲原住民之间的癌症健康差异； 2）举办一系列研讨会吸引科学家参与， 生物伦理学家、社区成员、学生和其他人就与研究的作用相关的问题进行对话 减少美洲原住民社区的癌症差异； 3) 实施、试点测试并完善 为美国原住民学生提供学生癌症课程和夏季研究培训计划。
