项目摘要

Project Summary West Baltimore is comprised of majority minority communities that are among the most economically and academically disadvantaged in the US and are disproprotionately impacted by cancer. A healthcare and cancer research workforce that understands the challenges facing West Baltimore residents and similar communities across the US is essential to addressing cancer incidence and outcome disparities. To excite and sustain underrepresented minorities (URM) scholars’ interest in cancer-related science subjects, healthcare research and careers, early educational intervention that takes account of the social determinants of educational success is critical. In this Catalyzing Cancer Research among Urban Underrepresented Minority Youths and Teachers (CATALYST) program, we will implement an innovative and immersive program for Middle School scholars, their families, teachers, and communities in West Baltimore. The aims of the program are to: 1) Excite scholars, their families, and communities about cancer research using cancer-focused research experiences and mentoring programs from an early stage in their education. 2) Develop novel curricula and individually mentored, hands-on cancer research training and experiences for Baltimore Mid- dle School teachers that are aligned with scholars’ curriculum and lead to improved science learning. 3) Develop and implement novel scholars’ curricula integrated with research experiences to improve science learning in Middle Schools. And 4) Expand the rich tapestry of outreach and community engagement activities to include cancer-related research trainings in West Baltimore’s Middle Schools. Scholars and teachers’ projects will pro- vide cancer-focused material for use in community outreach and engagement activities to be implemented by the scholars and teachers in their schools and communities. The outcomes of scholars’ and teachers’ educa- tional activities, curriculum development, and research projects will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at local, regional, and national forums as well as during collaborative exchanges with peer NCI YES programs across the US. CATALYST is built on the highly successful University of Maryland Baltimore Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (UMB CURE) Middle Schools Pilot Program – the first NCI CURE Middle School program – which was implemented by the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) in West Baltimore for seven years. The UMB CURE pilot developed a robust cancer-focused program that lever- aged strong UMB and UMGCCC resources in a holistic approach to scholars’ education, and community's needs, and is the framework for the proposed CATALYST program. The impact of CATALYST on all program stake- holders will be rigorously evaluated and outcomes will be longitudinally tracked. This data will inform best prac- tices and identify areas for improvement which is fed back to develop a sustainable and scalable program that produces the next generation of URM cancer researchers and caregivers and ultimately increase diversity in the biomedical workforce.

项目概要西巴尔的摩由多数少数族裔社区组成，这些社区是经济最发达、人口最多的社区之一。在美国，他们在学术上处于不利地位，并且受到医疗保健和癌症的影响尤为严重。了解西巴尔的摩居民和类似社区面临的挑战的研究人员美国各地的癌症发病率和结果差异至关重要。代表性不足的少数群体 (URM) 学者对癌症相关科学科目、医疗保健研究的兴趣和职业，早期教育干预考虑到教育成功的社会决定因素在这一促进城市弱势少数民族青年和教师癌症研究中至关重要。（CATALYST）计划，我们将为中学学者实施一项创新和沉浸式计划，他们的西巴尔的摩的家庭、教师和社区。该计划的目标是： 1) 激发学者、他们的家人和社区对癌症研究的兴趣从教育的早期阶段开始就获得以癌症为重点的研究经验和指导计划 2) 发展。巴尔的摩中部的新颖课程和单独指导的实践癌症研究培训和经验与学者课程保持一致并提高科学学习水平的学校教师 3) 发展。并实施与研究经验相结合的新颖学者课程，以改善科学学习 4) 扩大丰富的外展和社区参与活动，包括西巴尔的摩中学的学者和教师项目将支持癌症相关的研究培训。提供以癌症为中心的材料，用于社区外展和参与活动，由学校和社区的学者和教师学者和教师的教育成果。活动、课程开发和研究项目将在同行评审的期刊和在地方、区域和国家论坛以及与同行 NCI 的合作交流中提出是美国各地的计划。 CATALYST 建立在非常成功的马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校持续研究伞的基础上经验 (UMB CURE) 中学试点计划 – 第一个 NCI CURE 中学计划 – 其中由马里兰大学格林鲍姆综合癌症中心 (UMGCCC) 在 UMB CURE 试点项目在西巴尔的摩开展了七年，开发了一项强有力的以癌症为重点的计划，该计划利用：拥有强大的 UMB 和 UMGCCC 资源，以全面的方式满足学者的教育和社区的需求，是拟议的 CATALYST 计划的框架 CATALYST 对所有计划利益相关者的影响。持有者将受到严格评估，结果将被纵向跟踪，这些数据将为最佳实践提供信息。并确定需要改进的领域，并反馈这些领域以制定可持续且可扩展的计划，培养下一代 URM 癌症研究人员和护理人员，并最终增加癌症领域的多样性生物医学劳动力。
