## Abstract

ABSTRACT – CANCER RESEARCH TRAINING AND EDUCATION COORDINATION
The UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC) is a highly impactful hub for integrating and forwarding cancer
research training and education at the University of Wisconsin (UW) and across the state. Our UWCCC Cancer
Research Training and Education Coordination office (CRTEC) facilitates a robust and diverse community of
well-trained scholars (218 members, >300 staff, >400 trainees), who seek to improve cancer awareness,
prevention, discovery, and treatment. CRTEC’s leaders successfully integrate activities from K-12 through
trainees, to early career faculty and oncology providers, by providing throughout their careers the concepts of
cancer research, oncogenesis, treatment, public health and scientific communication. Our center emphasizes
CRTEC with a steering committee comprised of Associate Director for Faculty Development and Education, Dr.
Anna Huttenlocher, (TM), 10 faculty, staff, and trainees to prioritize, recommend and monitor CRTEC efforts.
The CRTEC annual budget is an approximate $600 - 700K/yr (CCSG supports 24%). In addition, administration
established the CRTEC office led by an Assistant Director and 1.5 FTE, who support and execute cancer
research training and education priorities which include 1) Facilitating the governance and decision-making of
strategic cancer education, research training, mentoring, and development opportunities, which includes center-
led initiatives, institutional collaborations, and external partnerships. 2) Organizing and enabling oncology
education leaders to continuously assess current and future needs, evaluate opportunities, and incorporate
priorities in both short-term and long-term educational and training goals. 3) Serving the mission of cancer
discovery and patient-centric care by fostering a diverse pipeline of future researchers and clinicians.
CRTEC infrastructure successfully achieved many high impact accomplishments during the award period,
including: 1) Increased funded peer-reviewed training projects by 21%; 2) Integrated diversity mission with
appointment of our inaugural Faculty Director of DEI, Dr. Narayan (CPC) to the CRTEC steering committee. 3)
Promoted 77 cancer members, which is 35% of membership (25% URMs, 20 leadership roles, and 10 female
faculty to leadership roles); 4) Formed inaugural educational coordination infrastructure, enabling 11 new
initiatives and an additional $78K in >40 trainee and professional development awards; 4) Sponsored new
summer cancer research programs at both the high school (>40 students, 27% URM) and undergraduate level
(8/yr) with a focus on involving underrepresented students; 5) Collaborated with our campus Office of Training
Grant Support to pilot Phase 1 of the Activity Tracking Tool, which enables our center to gather data in EVAL®
on trainees, mentors, and mentees of T awards; 6) Organized a trainee-run society that has implemented a travel
award program, diversity-working group, and student...
