DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, the seventh most common solid tumor in the United States. The incidence of head and neck cancer in African American men has been approximately two times higher than that of non African American men with a lower 5-year relative survival (36.2% vs. 47.6%). Howard University Medical Institutions is a minority-serving educational institution and medical center that is an important educational and clinical resource in the Washington DC/ Baltimore metropolitan area and serves a large community of low-income African American patients. However, recruitment and support for translational research efforts at Howard University has significant challenges. The goal of this proposal is to create a collaborative environment to enhance translational research and education related to head and neck cancer at the Howard University Medical Institutions through a highly collaborative effort between the Howard University Medical Institutions and the Head and Neck Cancer Center at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. This collaboration is focused on translational research and research training as well as educational efforts focused on enhancing head and neck cancer translational research and impact on the Howard Medical Institutions community. Specific aims will be: 1) to support collaborative cancer research projects between the Howard University Medical Institutions and the Head and Neck Cancer Center and Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 2) to provide collaborative training and mentoring program for promoting Howard medical and dental students and faculty in cancer research, 3) to establish education programs that advance the knowledge of translational cancer research as it applies to etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of head and neck cancer in the context of minority-serving institutions. These aims will be promoted and coordinated in a synergistic manner, such that they reinforce the creation of a culture of collaborative translational research within the Howard University Cancer Center as well as an effective long-term partnership with investigators at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. These goals will be pursued by directed mentorship of individuals at Howard Medical Institutions to develop as independent investigators via traditional mechanisms of the National Cancer Institute.

描述（由申请人提供）： 头颈癌是全球第六个最常见的癌症，是美国第七大最常见的实体瘤。非裔美国人男性头颈癌的发病率大约是5年相对生存率较低的非非洲裔美国男性（36.2％比47.6％）的发病率。霍华德大学医学机构是一个少数族裔的教育机构和医疗中心，在华盛顿特区/巴尔的摩大都会地区是重要的教育和临床资源，为大型低收入非裔美国人患者提供服务。但是，在霍华德大学的招聘和支持转化研究工作面临着重大挑战。该提案的目的是创建一个协作环境，以通过霍华德大学医学机构与约翰·霍普金斯医疗机构的霍华德大学医学机构与头颈癌中心之间的高度协作努力来增强与头颈癌相关的转化研究和教育。这项合作的重点是转化研究和研究培训，以及教育工作，重点是增强头颈癌转化研究，并影响霍华德医疗机构社区。具体目的将是：1）支持霍华德大学医疗机构与头颈癌中心和约翰·霍普金斯（Johns Hopkins）的霍华德大学医疗机构与头颈癌中心和锡德尼·金梅尔癌症中心之间的协作培训和指导计划，以促进霍华德医疗和牙科学生和牙科学生的癌症研究计划，以促进癌症研究的知识，以促进癌症的知识，以促进癌症的知识，以促进癌症的知识，以促进癌症的知识，以促进癌症的知识，以促进癌症的知识，以培训和培养癌症的知识。少数族裔服务机构。这些目标将以协同的方式促进和协调，从而增强霍华德大学癌症中心内的协作转化研究文化以及与约翰·霍普金斯医疗机构的研究人员的有效长期合作。这些目标将通过霍华德医疗机构的个人指导来实现，以通过国家癌症研究所的传统机制发展为独立研究人员。
