3.7.10. Ciencia en español – Spanish Language Scientific Seminar Series for Education and Community Engagement (led by Michael D.L. Johnson, PhD, Associate Dean for Basic Science Research and Graduate Studies and Associate Professor, Department of Immunobiology).Coming off a successful pilot event, we propose Ciencia en español, a four (4) part seminar series designed to promote scientific communication and public engagement through Spanish-language presentations by researchers at various stages of their careers. This initiative shall serve as a platform for scientists to share their work in Spanish, making complex research topics more accessible to a broader audience, including students, educators, and community members across Arizona and beyond. Each event shall feature four speakers, ranging from graduate students to tenured professors, who shall present their research entirely in Spanish. Presentations shall be tailored to both scientific and general audiences, with an emphasis on clear, engaging explanations that highlight the relevance of the research to everyday life. This dual approach – scientific rigor combined with layperson accessibility shall allow the seminars to serve multiple educational purposes. By creating a space where science is communicated in Spanish and made relevant to everyday life, Ciencia en Español shall help foster a stronger connection between the scientific community and the broader public. It shall also provide valuable opportunities for scientists to practice and refine their communication skills in Spanish, an increasingly important asset in many professional fields.

3.7.10.1. All events shall be recorded and made publicly available online. These recordings shall be curated as a resource for high schools and colleges, where they can be used in a variety of settings. For example, AP Spanish classes can use the content to explore real-world applications of language skills, while pre-health students preparing for work in Spanish-speaking communities can use the seminars to practice listening to scientific content in Spanish. The recordings shall also be valuable for rural healthcare professionals and students who may need to communicate scientific or medical information in Spanish in their

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF

HEALTH SERVICES

OFFICE OF PROCUREMENT

150 N 18th Ave., Ste. #530 Phoenix, Arizona 85007 future careers.

3.7.10.2. The seminar series shall be hosted at University of Arizona Keating Building and open to the public, encouraging participation from families, students, and educators. Light refreshments shall be provided to create a welcoming and informal atmosphere that encourages discussion and connection. Marketing efforts shall focus on outreach to schools, universities, community centers, and Spanish-language media outlets to ensure strong attendance and engagement.

3.7.11. K-Club (led by John Purdy, PhD, Associate Professor, Immunobiology, Associate Professor, Cancer Biology-GIDP) We set a goal to recruit and support the next generation of researchers and scientists that shall make the new discoveries at the forefront of innovation in medicine and science, including those on the transition from trainee to independent leaders. These burgeoning leaders shall also be important for raising funds to support state-of-the-art researchers and train the subsequent generation that shall make further breakthroughs. We have structured a unique program to strengthen the next generation of scientific leaders. The program focuses on preparing ABRC New Investigator Awardees (NIA), NIH K-awardees, and University of Arizona Health Sciences (UAHS) career development (CDA) awardees to become national and international leaders based in Arizona through leadership training, professional development, and networking. We propose with the funding of this proposal to grow this initiative to promote collaboration and growth across Arizona. Arizona is home to a growing community of early-career researchers, and this program aims to connect them across institutions, disciplines, and research interests to promote an integrated and collaborative scientific ecosystem in the Arizona. We shall invite awardees at a similar level at other Arizona institutions (e.g., Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic Arizona) and our Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) partner University of New Mexico to attend virtual workshops. These quarterly workshops shall focus on career-stage appropriate topics (e.g., grant writing for >$1 million awards, leading productive research teams, creating leading-edge research programs through multidisciplinary collaborations, navigating career transitions, and communicating impact of innovative breakthroughs). Each session shall feature experienced speakers, interactive panels, and/or peer-to-peer learning opportunities. To further promote collaboration, we shall host a statewide “Arizona NIA and K Club Symposium,” bringing together awardees to present their research, receive feedback, and share ideas for collaborations. We shall further the networking opportunities for participants by featuring a keynote speaker that is a senior investigator with international prominence (e.g., Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigators, directors of internationally recognized research institutes, or others of similar statures). We shall encourage interaction with the speaker and Arizona

ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF

OFFICE OF PROCUREMENT

150 N 18th Ave., Ste. #530 Phoenix, Arizona 85007 biomedical leaders through formal and informal discussions, e.g., panel discussions and the too often underutilized ‘coffee’ breaks.
