1/2 Cherokee Nation/OSU and SCC Collaborative Partnership for Cancer Research

摘要 癌症的差异继续不成比例地影响着俄克拉荷马州内的部落民族。拟议 切罗基民族/俄克拉荷马州州立大学（OSU）和斯蒂芬森癌症中心（SCC）合作， 四个具体目标，以实现其总体使命的背景下，美国发展持久的能力， 印度部落国家对癌症差异的研究： 1.加强行政基础设施，包括联合内部咨询委员会， 整合切罗基民族，俄勒冈州立大学和 SCC; 2.在烟草使用和癌症风险方面开展创新性试点研究， 在切罗基民族背景下进行的研究项目; 3.培养下一代癌症研究人员，使他们能够与切罗基人进行有意义的接触， 民族和其他部落民族的背景下，这项研究，重点是早期阶段的调查人员 （ESI），研究生，专业和本科生;以及 4.评估我们的工作，以优化试点研究项目和癌症研究的影响 教育和推广活动，并指导继续扩大合作活动，以解决 癌症差异 我们对协作中心的兴奋在于有机会扩大部落对癌症的能力 通过试点研究的协调计划，直接涉及教育服务机构和学生， 学术工作，以解决癌症的差异，特别是那些由烟草，并通过具体的 癌症研究课程开发和推广活动。OSU的加入， 美国印第安学生和ESI的教育和培训资产，包括一所新的医学院 与切罗基民族合作创建，提供了一个独特的环境，在其中一个部落，一所大学， 为大量的AI学生提供服务，一个研究密集型的癌症中心将共同努力， 无法接受的癌症负担继续影响着太多的人工智能人。

Abstract Cancer disparities continue to impact the tribal nations within Oklahoma disproportionately. The proposed Cherokee Nation/Oklahoma State University (OSU) and Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) Collaborative has four specific aims to achieve its overall mission of developing durable capacity in the context of an American Indian tribal nation for research on cancer disparities: 1. to strengthen administrative infrastructure, including a joint Internal Advisory Committee, capable of integrating research, research education and outreach efforts among the Cherokee Nation, OSU and the SCC; 2. to conduct innovative pilot research in tobacco use and cancer risk capable of seeding large-scale research projects performed in the Cherokee Nation setting; 3. to train the next generation of cancer researchers prepared to engage meaningfully with the Cherokee Nation and other tribal nations in the context of this research, focusing on early-stage investigators (ESIs), graduate, professional, and undergraduate students; and 4. to evaluate our work in order to optimize the impact of pilot research projects and cancer research education and outreach activities, and guide continued expansion of Collaborative activities to address cancer disparities. Our excitement about the Collaborative centers on the opportunity to expand tribal capacity for cancer disparities research through a coordinated program of pilot research directly involving ESIs and students in scholarly work to address cancer disparities, particularly those resulting from tobacco, and through specific cancer research curriculum development and outreach activities. The addition of OSU, which has remarkable assets in the education and training of American Indian students and ESIs, including a new medical school created in partnership with the Cherokee Nation, provides a unique environment in which a tribe, a university serving large numbers of AI students, and a research-intensive cancer center will work collectively to reduce the unacceptable burden of cancer that continues to affect far too many AI people.
