项目摘要

RESEARCH EDUCATION CORE – ABSTRACT The overall objective of the Chicago Cancer Health Equity Collaborative (ChicagoCHEC) Research Education Core (REC) is to increase the number of students from underrepresented populations engaged in cancer research by fostering meaningful research, education, and community engaged experiences which link faculty and students of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University (NU-LCC). For this Core, we define students as high school through postdoctoral fellows. Between 2016 – 2019, the REC launched research education experiences bringing together diverse students across the Chicagoland area, developed curricula introducing students to the science of cancer disparities, and built robust networks with high school and local community college students to encourage their entry into REC programs. In that period, the REC provided structured summer research education experiences through the ChicagoCHEC Research Fellows (CHEC Fellows) Program to 65 students from minority and underrepresented backgrounds. The CHEC Fellows Program is an intensive 8-week summer program that introduces students to a breadth of cancer health disparities research topics and to the work of leading cancer researchers, provides hands-on engagement with community partners, and builds professional skills as a foundation for lifelong learning. In this renewal, we seek to sustain the successes of the CHEC Fellows Program and add programming to further student entry into cancer research trajectories and further meet the needs of students within ChicagoCHEC sponsored Projects. Thus, the CHEC Fellows Program will be complemented by development of new career readiness and career development supports, and an expansion of ChicagoCHEC Laboratory Experiences and Programs (LEaP), which matches students, including graduates of the CHEC Fellows Program, to intensive, one-on-one mentored immersion experiences in cancer research laboratories. A diverse and exceptional tri-institutional team of cancer research faculty has been assembled to lead the REC in achieving its specific aims, which are to: (1) develop curriculum and support professional development opportunities to increase Chicago area undergraduate interest and readiness in entering the cancer research career pipeline; (2) refine and sustain the CHEC Fellows and LEaP Programs for diverse undergraduate students recruited from NEIU, UIC, NU, and City Colleges of Chicago; (3) link underrepresented students (undergraduates, graduate/medical students and postdoctoral fellows) to mentored cancer research experiences within ChicagoCHEC Projects and provide career development support; and (4) implement continuous tracking and program evaluation. Initiatives of the ChicagoCHEC REC will directly introduce students to cancer research and enhance their capacity to seek out opportunities that will enable them to pursue meaningful, highly effective careers in this field.

研究教育核心——摘要芝加哥癌症健康公平合作组织 (ChicagoCHEC) 研究教育的总体目标核心 (REC) 是增加来自代表性不足人群中从事癌症研究的学生人数通过促进有意义的研究、教育和社区参与经验将教师联系起来进行研究以及伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 (UIC)、东北伊利诺伊大学 (NEIU) 和罗伯特学院的学生西北大学 H. Lurie 综合癌症中心 (NU-LCC) 对于此核心，我们定义了学生。 2016 年至 2019 年间，REC 启动了研究教育。将芝加哥地区不同的学生聚集在一起的经验，开发的课程介绍学生了解癌症差异的科学，并与高中和当地社区建立了强大的网络在此期间，REC 提供了结构化的课程，以鼓励大学生进入 REC 课程。芝加哥CHEC研究员（CHEC Fellows）的暑期研究教育经历 CHEC 研究员计划面向 65 名来自少数族裔和弱势背景的学生。为期 8 周的夏季强化课程，向学生介绍广泛的癌症健康差异研究主题和领先癌症研究人员的工作，提供与社区合作伙伴的实践参与，并建立专业技能作为终身学习的基础。 CHEC 研究员计划的成功，并增加计划以进一步学生进入癌症研究轨迹并进一步满足芝加哥CHEC 赞助项目中学生的需求。研究员计划将通过新职业准备和职业发展的发展来补充支持，以及芝加哥CHEC实验室经验和计划（LEaP）的扩展，这与学生，包括 CHEC 研究员计划的毕业生，进行强化、一对一的沉浸式指导拥有丰富的癌症研究实验室经验。已召集教员领导 REC 实现其具体目标，这些目标是： (1) 开发课程并支持专业发展机会，以提高芝加哥地区本科生的兴趣和准备进入癌症研究职业渠道；(2) 完善和维持 CHEC 研究员和 LEaP 为从 NEIU、UIC、NU 和芝加哥城市学院招收的不同本科生提供的项目 (3) 将代表性不足的学生（本科生、研究生/医学生和博士后研究员）与在芝加哥CHEC项目中指导癌症研究经验并提供职业发展支持； (4) 直接实施芝加哥CHEC REC 的持续跟踪和计划评估。向学生介绍癌症研究并增强他们寻找机会的能力在这一领域追求有意义、高效的职业生涯。
