## Abstract

Abstract
We will use the Outreach Core to strengthen the budding field of cancer systems biology and to promote it to
the broader community. Among biomedical researchers, our primary goals will be to diversify skills among
investigators and cross-train trainees who are currently pursuing cancer systems biology research to expand
the pool of investigators who are qualified to enter this field and to make meaningful contributions. We will
strengthen our own consortium; provide training opportunities that provide foundational knowledge skills in
computational methods, cancer genomics, and cancer cell biology using real-world systems-based scientific
approaches. Our approach builds from integrating our consortium through workshops and student exchanges,
providing graduate level educational opportunities, generating a new seminar series to integrate with the
broader systems biology field, and partnering with strong public outreach units to educate professionals as well
as patients, families and advocacy groups on genomics and systems biology approaches and impacts on
cancer therapeutics. We view these goals as essential to attract and inform students from high school through
their graduate education. Our goal is to strengthen our center and to encourage collaboration and transparency
across CSBC sites. We will invite leaders in computational and/or experimental systems biology—whose
expertise and research interests complement our own—to visit our center sites, meet with our faculty,
postdocs, and students, and to participate in our workshops that encourage spirited dialog and broad
participation. We will partner with the Department of Patient and Public Education at the Huntsman Cancer
Institute to develop appropriate materials for use when engaging the general public in outreach efforts from
information sessions and health fair participation. This department has state-wide means for advertising and
distributing information and materials to the interested public. Partnering will allow us to develop printed and
Web-based materials, which we will share with cancer survivors and the general public to create greater
awareness of research advances that are being made using systems biology approaches.
