  2. Why is Diversity Important? • Broadens the research “lens” to include new viewpoints from those from diverse backgrounds • Enhances innovation and creativity in cancer research • Contributes to reducing cancer disparities by more effectively addressing existing disparities within the population • Promotes effective use of public funds for cancer research • Consistent with NIH’s Commitment to Excellence: providing support for talented individuals to explore ideas at the highest level of inquiry

  3. Majority Minorities…Changing Face of the U.S.

  4. NIH/NCI CRCHD Mission Initiates, integrates, and engages in collaborative research studies with NCI divisions and NIH institutes and Centers to promote research and training in cancer health disparities and to improve cancer outcomes in communities experiencing an excess burden of cancer.

  5. How CRCHD Achieves Its Mission… Engaging Communities – CNPCCommunity –based participatory researchRCT, training in CBPR CURE PROGRAM Forging Partnerships-PACHE MSI and Cancer Centers Research, multidisciplinary training. outreach, education, clinical trial recruitment Institutions Serving Underserved Communities NCI-Designated Cancer Centers Networks for Research, Training and Outreach – GMaP Development regional hubs for sharing knowledge, information, best practices, and resources. Training enhancement Comprehensive Partnership Grant (U54) Feasibility Studies (P20)

  6. Scarcity of role models Challenges Access to Funding Low Expectations Conventional Challenges

  7. The Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Program

  8. Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Expand and extend the period of training Emphasize scientific areas of greatest need Increase the size of the talent pool TRAINEES Pre -doctoral Investigators High School Undergraduate Postdoctoral

  9. CURE Program Supports Diverse Trainees (2001 – 2013) n = 3041
