The American Health Foundation Cancer Center (AHFCC), an NCI- designated cancer center, and three minority serving institutions within the City University of New York (CUNY)-Brooklyn College, Hunter College, and The Graduate Center, will collaborate in the proposed 3- year planning initiative, designed to address the disparate cancer burden in minority populations, and increase the participation of minority scientists in behavioral and translational cancer research. The goal of the project is to train minority scientists, faculty, and graduate students in research, educational, and outreach approaches to cancer prevention. This goal will be accomplished through the following specific aims: 1) Establish an infrastructure for planning activities that will develop long- term collaborations between the AHFCC and CUNY; 2) Generate participation in cancer prevention and control research among CUNY minority graduate students through didactic training and mentored research experiences; 3) Train minority scientists at CUNY and AHFCC in behavioral and translational approaches to cancer prevention and control with minority populations through educational seminars, collaborative research, and professional development programs; 4) Involve minority community partners in planning education and outreach initiatives, to be implemented jointly by community members, educators from CUNY, and researchers from AHFCC; and 5) Develop systematic methods for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of aims 1-4, and making mid-course corrections. Key personnel will include scientists and faculty from the AHFCC Cancer Control and Health Promotion Program; the Brooklyn College Departments in Health and NUTRITION Sciences and Psychology; the Hunter College Programs in Urban Public Health and Community Health Education; and the Graduate Center's Doctoral Programs in Psychology; the Hunter College programs in Urban Public Health and Community Health Education; and the Graduate Center's Doctoral Programs in Psychology and Concentration in Health Psychology. Research, education, and outreach initiatives will be implemented with patient community, and school-based populations from North General Hospital in Harlem; Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY; the Crozer Keystone Health System in Philadelphia; the Baptist Church community in Mount Vernon, NY; and School Districts 8 and 12 in the South Bronx and Brooklyn.

美国健康基金会癌症中心（AHFCC），一个NCI指定的癌症中心，和纽约（CUNY）内的三个少数民族服务机构-布鲁克林学院，亨特学院和研究生中心，将在拟议的3年规划倡议中合作，旨在解决少数民族人口中不同的癌症负担，增加少数民族科学家参与行为和转化癌症研究。该项目的目标是培训少数民族科学家，教师和研究生的研究，教育和推广方法，以预防癌症。这一目标将通过以下具体目标来实现：1）建立规划活动的基础设施，以发展AHFCC和纽约市立大学之间的长期合作; 2）通过教学培训和指导研究经验，促使纽约市立大学少数民族研究生参与癌症预防和控制研究; 3）通过教育研讨会、合作研究和专业发展计划，对纽约市立大学和AHFCC的少数族裔科学家进行少数族裔癌症预防和控制的行为和转化方法培训; 4）让少数群体社区伙伴参与规划教育和外联举措，由社区成员、纽约市立大学的教育工作者和AHFCC的研究人员共同实施; 5）制定系统方法，对目标1-4进行定量和定性评估，并进行中期修正。主要人员将包括来自AHFCC癌症控制和健康促进计划的科学家和教师;布鲁克林学院健康与营养科学和心理学系;城市公共卫生和社区健康教育的亨特学院计划;和研究生中心的心理学博士课程;城市公共卫生和社区健康教育的亨特学院计划;以及研究生中心的心理学博士课程和健康心理学集中。研究、教育和外展活动将在患者社区和学校人群中实施，这些人群来自哈莱姆的北方综合医院、纽约瓦尔哈拉的韦斯特切斯特医疗中心、费城的克罗泽基石卫生系统、纽约弗农山的浸信会社区以及南布朗克斯和布鲁克林的第8和第12学区。
