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

摘要 癌症差异继续对俄克拉荷马州的部落国家造成不成比例的影响。建议数 切诺基国家/俄克拉荷马州立大学(OSU)和斯蒂芬森癌症中心(SCC)合作 在美国人的背景下实现其发展耐久能力的总体使命的四个具体目标 研究癌症差异的印度部落国家： 1.加强行政基础设施，包括一个联合内部咨询委员会，能够 整合切罗基民族、俄亥俄州立大学和 SCC； 2.在烟草使用和癌症风险方面进行创新的试点研究，能够大规模播种 在切罗基民族背景下开展的研究项目； 3.培训下一代癌症研究人员，准备与切诺基人进行有意义的接触 民族和其他部落民族在这项研究的背景下，侧重于早期调查人员 (Essis)、研究生、专业和本科生；以及 4.评估我们的工作，以优化先导研究项目和癌症研究的影响 教育和外联活动，并指导继续扩大合作活动，以解决 癌症差异。 我们对协作组的兴奋集中在扩大部落抗癌能力的机会上 通过一个直接涉及Esis和学生的协调的试点研究项目进行差异研究 学术工作，以解决癌症差异，特别是那些由烟草引起的差异，并通过特定的 癌症研究、课程开发和外展活动。OSU的加入，它具有显著的 用于教育和培训美国印第安人学生和Esis的资产，包括一所新的医学院 与切诺基民族合作创建的，提供了一个独特的环境，在其中一个部落，一所大学 服务于大量人工智能学生，以及一个研究密集型癌症中心将共同努力，减少 癌症带来的不可接受的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.
