DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer in Maryland, and its impact on the health of minority and underserved rural populations, is a particularly serious health care dilemma. In fact, Maryland now ranks 7th nationally in cancer incidence, and significant disparities are seen between African American and Caucasian populations in stage of diagnosis, access to early detection, cancer screening follow-up, treatment, and health services utilization. The unequal burden of cancer in minority and underserved communities nationally and in Maryland's minority and underserved communities is a compelling crisis that requires intensive scientific, community outreach and translation and application of research. Bowie State University (BSU), a Minority Serving Institution (MSI) and the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and its Program In Oncology and the Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center propose to establish a partnership with the overall goal of reducing and eventually eliminating cancer health disparities experienced by minority populations in Prince George's county and Baltimore City, Maryland by increasing the number of minority scientists pursuing successful cancer research careers and developing effective cancer education programs specifically targeting minority students and faculty, and the community. The specific aims of the BSU-UMSOM partnership are: (1) To collaboratively develop and implement a joint minority cancer research career development training program ("Cancer Research Training Program") in cancer health disparities research for BSU junior faculty; (2) To collaboratively enhance the science curriculum at BSU through the development, implementation, and evaluation of a cancer health disparities education curriculum ("Undergraduate Cancer Education Program") to prepare BSU students for mentored undergraduate cancer research training at UMSOM; and (3) To collaboratively develop, implement, and pilot test an enhanced community-based caner outreach education program ("Community Cancer Outreach Education Program") in price George's County specifically targeting minority, underserved communities (i.e., African Americans). The partnership's objectives blend the existing expertise at the collaborating institutions in the form of high- quality educational programs and a rich source of talent at BSU and the state-of-the-art cancer research, investigator training, and community outreach programs at UMSOM. This partnership is based on prior informal collaborations between members of faculty at BSU and UMSOM. The proposed partnership between BSU and UMSOM will address both community and institutional needs to effectively address cancer health disparities.

描述(申请人提供)：马里兰州的癌症及其对少数民族和未得到充分服务的农村人口健康的影响，是一个特别严重的卫生保健困境。事实上，马里兰州现在的癌症发病率在全国排名第七，非裔美国人和高加索人在诊断阶段、获得早期发现、癌症筛查随访、治疗和卫生服务利用方面存在显著差异。在全国少数群体和服务不足的社区以及马里兰州的少数群体和服务不足的社区，癌症造成的负担不平等是一个紧迫的危机，需要深入的科学、社区宣传以及研究的翻译和应用。鲍伊州立大学(BSU)、少数族裔服务机构(MSI)和马里兰大学医学院(UMSOM)及其肿瘤学项目和Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum癌症中心建议建立合作伙伴关系，总体目标是减少并最终消除乔治王子郡和马里兰州巴尔的摩市少数族裔人口面临的癌症健康差距，方法是增加少数族裔科学家追求成功的癌症研究生涯，并制定专门针对少数族裔学生和教职员工以及社区的有效癌症教育计划。北卡罗来纳州立大学-密歇根州立大学合作伙伴关系的具体目标是：(1)合作开发和实施为北卡罗来纳州立大学初级教员提供的少数族裔癌症研究职业发展联合培训计划(“癌症研究培训计划”)；(2)通过开发、实施和评估癌症健康差异教育课程(“本科生癌症教育计划”)，合作加强北卡罗来纳州立大学的科学课程，为密歇根州立大学的本科生癌症研究指导培训做准备；以及(3)在普赖斯乔治县合作开发、实施和试点以社区为基础的癌症外展教育计划(“社区癌症外展教育计划”)，专门针对少数族裔、服务不足的社区(即非裔美国人)。合作伙伴关系的目标是将合作机构的现有专业知识以高质量教育项目的形式和北卡罗来纳州立大学丰富的人才来源与UMSOM最先进的癌症研究、研究人员培训和社区拓展计划相结合。这一合作关系是建立在北卡罗来纳州立大学和密歇根州立大学教职员工之前的非正式合作基础上的。BSU和UMSOM之间拟议的伙伴关系将解决社区和机构的需求，以有效解决癌症健康差距问题。
