项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and the Georgetown University Medical Center, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) propose to continue their participation in the Bridges to the Doctorate that has been built upon the successful partnership that currently exist due to an NIH/NCI p20 and U56 funding. A UDC Masters Degree Program in Cancer Biology Prevention and Control, an outgrowth from the U56 grant, is jointly taught by UDC and LCCC. To help alleviate the heavy cancer burden that impacts the District of Columbia, the Masters Degree Program was established to provide competitive minorities students with knowledge and confidence that will allow for seamless transition from this MS program to a competitive Doctorate Program. Consistent with the NIH requirements for the Bridges to the Doctorate Program, we propose the following objectives to augment the students' conceptual learning and skills. (1) update and implement a highly competitive curriculum in the Masters Program and provide pre-course enhancers (PCEs) in order to impart background to help master material found in courses that have previously caused difficulty to similar students, (2).To improve academic performance by having students attend and present at journal club and local and national scientific meetings, participate in research skills and education workshops, and a distinguished lectures series and belong to a Transition Interest Groups (TRIGs), a student-mentoring group,(3) To provide each Masters student with a summer research experience in a research-intensive laboratory (4) to provide an opportunity for two faculty members from the LCCC to serve as visiting professors at UDC. The goal of the Bridges to the Doctorate Program is to graduate Master-level students who are able to gain admission to PhD programs at LCC or similar institution and eventually become biomedical scientist best suited to translate cancer biology, prevention, and control methods into research that will help alleviate health disparities. The University of the District of Columbia(UDC) and the Georgetown University Medical Center, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center(LCCC) propose to continue their participation in the Bridges to the Doctorate that has been built upon the successful partnership that currently exist due to an NIH/NCI p20 and U56 funding. The proposal will promote initiatives, strategies, and activities that will increase the number of minority students pursuing careers in cancer research. The influx of these minority cancer researchers will help alleviate health disparities in the nation.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚特区大学 (UDC) 和乔治城大学医学中心、隆巴迪综合癌症中心 (LCCC) 建议继续参与建立在成功合作伙伴关系基础上的“通往博士学位的桥梁”项目目前由于 NIH/NCI p20 和 U56 资助而存在。 UDC 癌症生物学预防和控制硕士学位课程是 U56 资助的产物，由 UDC 和 LCCC 联合授课。为了帮助减轻影响哥伦比亚特区的沉重癌症负担，设立了硕士学位课程，为有竞争力的少数族裔学生提供知识和信心，使他们能够从硕士课程无缝过渡到有竞争力的博士学位课程。根据 NIH 对博士桥梁课程的要求，我们提出以下目标来增强学生的概念学习和技能。 (1) 更新和实施硕士课程中竞争激烈的课程，并提供课前强化课程 (PCE)，以传授背景知识，帮助掌握以前对类似学生造成困难的课程中的材料，(2)。通过让学生参加并出席期刊俱乐部以及地方和国家科学会议、参加研究技能和教育研讨会以及杰出的讲座系列以及加入过渡兴趣小组 (TRIG)（一个学生辅导小组）来提高学术表现，(3 ）提供每个在研究密集型实验室 (4) 进行暑期研究经验的硕士生，为 LCCC 的两名教员提供担任 UDC 客座教授的机会。通往博士学位桥梁项目的目标是培养硕士水平的学生，他们能够进入 LCC 或类似机构的博士学位课程，并最终成为最适合将癌症生物学、预防和控制方法转化为研究的生物医学科学家。将有助于缓解健康差距。哥伦比亚特区大学 (UDC) 和乔治城大学医学中心、隆巴迪综合癌症中心 (LCCC) 建议继续参与“通往博士学位的桥梁”项目，该项目建立在目前与 NIH 建立的成功合作伙伴关系的基础上/NCI p20 和 U56 资助。该提案将促进倡议、战略和活动，以增加从事癌症研究职业的少数族裔学生的数量。这些少数族裔癌症研究人员的涌入将有助于缓解该国的健康差距。
