项目摘要

CANCER RESEARCH TRAINING & EDUCATION COORDINATION: ABSTRACT Cancer Research Training & Education Coordination (CaRTEC) is a major pillar of the University of Florida Health Cancer Center (UFHCC) strategic plan. Led by Siemann (CTHR), Associate Director for Education and Training, it provides a continuum of education and training opportunities that encompass pre-collegiate and undergraduate programs, pre- and postdoctoral and clinical training initiatives, faculty mentoring, and career enhancement. CaRTEC integrates and enhances cancer education, research training, and career-development activities at all trainee and faculty levels. At the pre-collegiate level, UFHCC summer programs introduce high school students to cancer research through lectures and lab experiences to encourage their academic choices. An innovative program for middle and high school science teachers promotes advances in cancer research and care. An undergraduate scholars program in basic, clinical, or population science provides UF students with opportunities to collaborate on research projects and aims to motivate students to pursue careers in cancer research. Cancer research and career opportunities for minority students are promoted by NCI and UFHCC- funded programs providing training in laboratories of UFHCC members. Graduate students in the Cancer Biology Concentration (CBC) of the UF College of Medicine Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences join a vibrant academic program offering training in fundamental and translational cancer research. Reflecting the transdisciplinary nature of UF cancer research, the CBC is comprised of graduate faculty representing a wide range of UF colleges. At the postdoctoral level, CaRTEC supports the strategic recruitment of postdoctoral fellows to strengthen the number of trainees interested in all aspects of cancer research. Since 2016, 102 UFHCC members have trained 542 graduate students and 192 postdoctoral trainees, of whom 89 (12%) have identified as underrepresented minorities and 360 (49%) are women. Early-stage investigators are each assigned a principal mentor and mentoring advisory committee to review their research plans and grants, and foster their professional development. Clinical faculty and trainees have opportunities to enhance skills through short courses in clinical research and biostatistics as well as a think tank for investigator-initiated clinical trials. The UFHCC supports continuing medical education for members and community physicians. Building on UFHCC assets, in 2021, a novel team-based interdisciplinary cancer-focused NCI-funded T32 Training Grant for pre- and postdoctoral fellows and an American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant were awarded. Long- term goals are to 1) prepare the next generation of basic, clinical, and population scientists for successful cancer research careers; and, 2) facilitate the engagement of researchers in community dialogue to promote awareness of cancer risk factors, cancer research, and treatment. In alignment with the Plan to Enhance Diversity, new initiatives include a UFHCC Pilot Diversity Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP), submission of an R25 Diversity PREP application, and development of additional cancer-focused T32 applications.

癌症研究培训和教育协调：摘要癌症研究培训和教育协调 (CaRTEC) 是佛罗里达大学的主要支柱健康癌症中心 (UFHCC) 战略计划。由教育和教育副总监 Siemann (CTHR) 领导培训，它提供了一系列的教育和培训机会，包括大学预科和本科课程、博士前、博士后和临床培训计划、教师指导和职业增强。 CaRTEC 整合并加强癌症教育、研究培训和职业发展所有学员和教师级别的活动。在大学预科阶段，UFHCC 暑期课程引入了高学校通过讲座和实验室体验让学生参与癌症研究，鼓励他们的学术选择。面向初中和高中科学教师的创新计划促进癌症研究和关心。基础、临床或人口科学领域的本科学者项目为佛罗里达大学学生提供合作研究项目的机会，旨在激励学生从事癌症职业研究。 NCI 和 UFHCC 促进少数族裔学生的癌症研究和职业机会- 资助的项目为 UFHCC 成员的实验室提供培训。癌症生物学研究生佛罗里达大学医学院生物医学科学研究生项目专业 (CBC) 加入了充满活力的提供基础和转化癌症研究培训的学术项目。反映了由于佛罗里达大学癌症研究具有跨学科性质，CBC 由代表广泛领域的研究生教师组成佛罗里达大学的一系列学院。在博士后层面，CaRTEC支持博士后战略招聘研究员，以增加对癌症研究各个方面感兴趣的学员数量。自 2016 年以来，102 UFHCC会员已培养研究生542名，博士后192名，其中博士后89名（12%）被认定为代表性不足的少数群体，其中 360 名（49%）是女性。早期研究人员分别是指定一位主要导师和指导咨询委员会来审查他们的研究计划和资助，以及促进他们的专业发展。临床教师和实习生有机会通过以下方式提高技能：临床研究和生物统计学短期课程以及研究者发起的临床试验的智囊团。 UFHCC 支持会员和社区医生的继续医学教育。以 UFHCC 为基础资产，在 2021 年，一项以团队为基础、以癌症为重点、由 NCI 资助的 T32 培训补助金，用于授予博士后研究员和美国癌症协会机构研究补助金。长的- 学期目标是 1) 为下一代基础科学家、临床科学家和人口科学家做好成功癌症治疗的准备研究生涯； 2) 促进研究人员参与社区对话以提高认识癌症危险因素、癌症研究和治疗。根据增强多样性计划，新举措包括 UFHCC 试点多元化学士后研究教育计划 (PREP)、提交 R25 Diversity PREP 应用程序的开发，以及其他以癌症为重点的 T32 应用程序的开发。
