ABSTRACT Chicago’s South Side is one of the nation’s most medically underserved urban areas, facing significant disparities in the incidence and mortality of cancer. Eliminating or reducing cancer disparities in this community requires the commitment of a health care and biomedical research workforce that reflects the make-up of the local community and understands its underlying challenges. The University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCCCC), considered a national leader among cancer centers in supporting the training and career development of next-generation cancer researchers, will serve as the epicenter of the proposed training program, Chicago EYES (Educators and Youth Enjoy Science) on Cancer. The overall objective of the program is to train high school students, undergraduates, and high school teachers through research experiences and outreach, thereby enhancing the diversity of the workforce necessary to meet the nation’s biomedical, population-based and clinical cancer research needs. To accomplish this goal, we will: 1) Provide mentored research experiences and career/skills development to individuals from underrepresented backgrounds at the high school and undergraduate level to inspire and prepare them for research careers in cancer and/or cancer disparities; 2) Provide high school teachers of underrepresented students with research experiences and curriculum development to prepare them to disseminate knowledge and generate excitement for science; and 3) Create a strong and long-lasting network of support for students throughout their career journeys. In addition to assembling a dedicated mentor team for each individual, providing hands-on research training and curriculum development for their teachers, and engaging families and communities for support, we will also develop a detailed tracking system to facilitate ongoing communication with program alumni and personalized assistance as needed. The experienced leadership team has the scientific, educational, and administrative expertise, coupled with an established track record of developing and evaluating cancer research pipeline programs, necessary to successfully deliver the proposed program. Importantly, the program will facilitate strong partnerships with key institutions on Chicago’s South Side, namely the Museum of Science and Industry and diverse local high schools and institutions of higher learning. Together, the leadership team, outstanding mentors, and committed partners are well positioned to successfully develop the program, evaluate success and support the proposed activities to create and sustain a diverse cancer research workforce. Through Chicago EYES on Cancer, the UCCCC is committed to positively impacting the scientific career development of South Side Chicago youth as well as the education and engagement of the local community.

抽象的 芝加哥的南侧是美国最不受欢迎的城市地区之一，面临着重要的 癌症事件和死亡率的差异。消除或减少该社区的癌症分布 需要一项反映构成的医疗保健和生物医学研究人员的承诺 当地社区并了解其潜在的挑战。芝加哥大学医学 综合癌症中心（UCCCC）被认为是癌症中心的国家领导者 下一代癌症研究人员的培训和职业发展将成为中心 拟议的培训计划，芝加哥眼（教育者和青年享受癌症科学）。总体 该计划的目的是通过培训高中生，本科生和高中老师 研究经验和宣传，从而增强了满足劳动力的多样性 国家的生物医学，基于人群和临床癌症研究的需求。为了实现这一目标，我们将： 1）为人数不足的个人提供了研究经验和职业/技能发展 高中和本科层面的背景，以激发和为研究职业做好准备 癌症和/或癌症分布； 2）为代表性不足的学生提供研究 经验和课程发展，以准备他们传播知识并引起兴奋 科学； 3）在整个职业生涯中为学生建立强大而持久的支持网络 旅程。除了为每个人组建一个专门的心理团队外，还提供动手研究 我们 还将开发一个详细的跟踪系统，以促进与计划校友进行的持续沟通 根据需要的个性化帮助。经验丰富的领导团队拥有科学，教育和 行政专业知识，再加上开发和评估癌症的既定记录 研究管道计划，成功地提供了拟议的计划。重要的是，该程序 将促进与芝加哥南侧的主要机构建立牢固的合作伙伴关系，即科学博物馆 行业以及在当地的高中和高等教育机构。在一起，领导团队， 杰出的导师和坚定的合作伙伴可以成功地制定该计划， 评估成功并支持提出的活动，以创建和维持潜水癌症研究 劳动力。通过芝加哥的癌症，UCCCC致力于积极影响科学 南侧芝加哥青年的职业发展以及当地的教育和参与 社区。
