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 芝加哥南区是全美医疗服务最匮乏的城市地区之一，面临着严重的 癌症发病率和死亡率的差异 消除或减少该社区的癌症差异。 需要医疗保健和生物医学研究人员的承诺，这反映了医疗保健和生物医学研究人员的构成 芝加哥大学医学院了解当地社区的根本挑战。 综合癌症中心 (UCCCC)，被认为是支持癌症中心的全国领先者 下一代癌症研究人员的培训和职业发展将成为该研究的中心 拟议的癌症培训计划“芝加哥 EYES（教育者和青年享受科学）”。 该计划的目标是通过以下方式培训高中生、本科生和高中教师 研究经验和推广，从而增强满足需求所需的劳动力多样性 为了实现这一目标，我们将： 1) 为代表性不足的个人提供指导研究经验和职业/技能发展 高中和本科阶段的背景，以激励他们并为他们的研究生涯做好准备 癌症和/或癌症差异；2) 为代表性不足的学生的高中教师提供研究 经验和课程开发，让他们为传播知识和激发兴奋做好准备 3）为学生的整个职业生涯建立强大而持久的支持网络 除了为每个人组建专门的导师团队外，还提供实践研究。 为教师提供培训和课程开发，并让家庭和社区提供支持，我们 还将开发一个详细的跟踪系统，以促进与项目校友的持续沟通 经验丰富的领导团队具有科学性、教育性和针对性。 管理专业知识，加上在开发和评估癌症方面的既定记录 研究管道计划，是成功交付拟议计划所必需的。 将促进与芝加哥南区主要机构（即科学博物馆）的牢固合作关系 和行业以及不同的当地高中和高等教育机构的领导团队一起， 杰出的导师和忠诚的合作伙伴有能力成功开发该计划， 评估成功并支持拟议的活动，以创建和维持多样化的癌症研究 通过芝加哥之眼癌症中心，UCCCC 致力于对科学产生积极影响。 芝加哥南区青年的职业发展以及当地的教育和参与 社区。
