CCNY/MSK Cancer Center Partnership

本申请描述了纽约城市学院和纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心建立合作伙伴关系的计划。我们建议建立一个合作伙伴关系，充分利用CCNY作为少数民族高等教育机构的优势，以及MSK（一个主要的大都市癌症中心）的科学和临床资源。我们的近期目标是在基础科学、行为科学和人口科学领域建立联合项目，重点是建设合作能力。具体来说，在第一年，我们提出了一系列的两个试点研究，这将导致竞争R 01的建议，也作为未来的合作研究工作的模式。对宗教舒适和紧张的研究将有助于我们建立涉及MSK癌症患者的联合研究程序。免疫功能研究将展示研究项目以及社区干预措施，以促进癌症预防和早期发现。研究培训经验被纳入每一个联合试点项目。我们的计划满足少数民族学生和科学家在职业发展道路上的关键沿着路口的需求。我们的计划满足少数民族学生和科学家在职业发展道路上的关键沿着路口的需求，包括CCNY学生在合作项目中工作的机会，并在MSK进行特殊项目。我们的长期目标包括发展联合博士后奖学金以及在高级本科生/早期研究生水平上的癌症生物学和癌症预防，控制和治疗中的心理社会问题的课程。在癌症外展领域，我们计划将MSK现有的几个NCI赞助的倡议与CCNY的继续教育和校园健康计划结合起来，以提高公众对癌症研究的理解，并增加哈莱姆社区的早期发现和护理。我们的合作伙伴包括生物，行为和社会科学家，临床研究人员和生物医学伦理学家。核心成员被选中，包括在相关领域的专家癌症在少数民族社区的影响，院长和地区领导人具有广泛的影响力和教师活动的认识在各自的机构，以及学者在计划的经验，以指导和培训少数民族科学家。

This application describes plans to develop a collaborative partnership involving City College of New York and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We propose to develop a Partnership that can take full advantage of CCNY's strengths as an institution of highly education for minority populations and the scientific and clinical resources of MSK, a major metropolitan cancer center. Our immediate goal is the establishment of joint projects in the areas of basic, behavioral and population sciences, with an emphasis on building capacity for collaboration. Specifically, in the first year, we propose a series of two pilot studies that will lead to competitive R01 proposals and that also serve as models fo future collaborative research efforts. A study of religious comforts and strains will help us to establish procedures for joint studi3es involving MSK cancer patients. A study of immunological functioning will demonstrate research projects as well as community interventions to promote cancer prevention and early detection. Research training experiences are incorporated in each of these joint pilot projects. Our plans address needs of minority students and scientists at critical junctures along the career development path. Our plans address needs of minority students and scientists at critical junctures along the career development path, including opportunities for CCNY students to work in Partnership projects and pursue special projects at MSK. Our longer- range goals include the development of joint post-doctoral fellowships as well as curricula in the advanced undergraduate/early graduate student level on the Biology of Cancer and Psychosocial Issues in Cancer Prevention, Control and Treatment. In the area of cancer outreach, we plan to bring together several of MSK's existing NCI-sponsored initiatives with CCNY's Continuing Education and campus health programs, to improve public understanding of cancer research, and to increase early detection and access to care in the Harlem community. Our partnership includes biological, behavioral and social scientists, clinical investigators and biomedical ethicists. Core members were selected to include specialists in areas relevant to the impact of cancer in minority communities, deans and area leaders with broad reach and awareness of faculty activities within their respective institutions, as well as scholars with experience in programs to mentor and train minority scientists.
