项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) proposes to establish a Cancer Research and Education Academy (the Academy) in conjunction with the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) at Georgetown University Medical Center. It is designed for science students who have an interest in entering cancer research careers. The Academy is a natural progression of the cancer partnership between UDC and LCCC, established in 2000, to address the heavy cancer burden among African American in the Washington, D.C Metropolitan Area. The new Academy will provide a pipe-line of undergraduate student to enter the jointly administered and jointly taught Masters Program in Cancer Biology, Prevention and Control and provide academic and non-academic support that allows students to built confidence to successfully pursue more advanced degrees. The goal of the Academy is to promote initiatives, strategies, and activities that will increase the number of minority students pursing careers in cancer research in an attempt to address health disparities. The Masters Program will be incorporated into the Academy that will consist of an Education and a Research core. Each core will have a mentoring and academic enrichment focus. The Education core will utilize a highly competitive curriculum that allows for undergraduates to major in biology with a cancer option and to enrich the current curriculum in Masters Program. Functions of the Academy include: (a) initiating new cancer courses and enhancing several pre-existing cancer courses; (b) implementing research-based instruction; (c) placing community outreach in specific courses; and (d) and utilizing scientific experts in classroom settings. The Research core will provide each undergraduate and graduate student with an academic year and summer cancer research experience in a research laboratory at LCCC, UDC. In addition to presenting research papers at scientific meetings, student will have as series of enrichment activities e.g. research skills workshops, career workshops, distinguished lectures, and cancer seminars and membership in a Journal Club. There will be a strong multi-tiered mentoring program for both undergraduate and graduate students. The Academy will engage students in systematic approaches to learning and create and enable students to negotiate a successful transition at each level of more specialized academic training.

描述（由申请人提供）：哥伦比亚特区大学 (UDC) 提议与乔治城大学医学中心的隆巴迪综合癌症中心 (LCCC) 联合建立癌症研究和教育学院 (学院)。它是为有兴趣进入癌症研究职业的理科学生而设计的。该学院是 UDC 和 LCCC 之间癌症合作关系的自然发展，该合作关系成立于 2000 年，旨在解决华盛顿特区大都市区非裔美国人沉重的癌症负担。新学院将为本科生提供进入联合管理和联合授课的癌症生物学、预防和控制硕士项目的渠道，并提供学术和非学术支持，使学生建立成功攻读更高学位的信心。该学院的目标是促进倡议、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，以解决健康差距。硕士课程将并入学院，该学院将由教育和研究核心组成。每个核心都将有一个指导和学术丰富的重点。教育核心将利用竞争激烈的课程，允许本科生主修生物学和癌症选项，并丰富硕士课程的现有课程。该学院的职能包括： (a) 开设新的癌症课程并加强一些现有的癌症课程； (b) 实施基于研究的教学； (c) 将社区外展纳入具体课程； (d) 在课堂环境中利用科学专家。研究核心将为每位本科生和研究生在 LCCC、UDC 的研究实验室提供学年和夏季癌症研究经验。除了在科学会议上发表研究论文外，学生还将参加一系列的丰富活动，例如研究技能研讨会、职业研讨会、杰出讲座、癌症研讨会以及期刊俱乐部会员资格。将为本科生和研究生提供强有力的多层次指导计划。学院将让学生采用系统的学习方法，并创造并使学生能够在更专业的学术培训的各个级别上成功过渡。
