SFSU/UCSF Comprehensive cancer Partnership Program

旧金山州立大学 (SFSU) 和加州大学综合癌症中心 (UCSFCC) 提出了一项 56 规划计划，其中包括两个关于前列腺癌和乳腺癌的研究试点项目以及一项鼓励和准备少数族裔护理学生获得博士学位的培训计划。专注于癌症研究和健康差异的学位。它还包括社区外展和教育部分以及纳入试点项目和计划的少数族裔教师发展活动。拟议计划的主要活动之一是招聘活动，该活动将导致 SFSU 立即聘用一名高级生物行为研究员，并在未来五年内聘用六名初级教员研究人员，他们都将成为 SFSU 新生物行为研究中心的核心。 SFSU 校长已承诺投入 100 万美元帮助建设这个新中心，并为一名终身教授的高级教授分配持续的人事资金来填补这一空缺。位置。该提案是 SFSU 和 UCSFCC 的教职人员和管理人员广泛规划的结果，他们仔细考虑了两个机构的优势和劣势以及两个机构可以补充和加强彼此工作的方式。本提案选择的项目、计划和活动是那些能够使合作伙伴和医疗保健网络服务较差的周边社区互惠互利的项目、计划和活动。这样的直接好处之一就是让少数群体的个体参加癌症预防试验。我们组建了一个由高产研究人员组成的杰出项目指导委员会，他们支持为传统上在生物医学和生物行为研究人员中代表性不足的个人增加机会，并消除 SFSU 教师和管理人员的健康差异，以在 UCSFCC 和少数族裔社区之间建立更紧密的联系，与社区组织合作开发利用 SFSU/UCSFCC 伙伴关系的综合资源和优势的新颖项目，并努力开发 U-54 项目拨款。

San Francisco State University (SFSU) and the University of California Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCSFCC) propose a 56 planning program comprised of two research pilot projects on prostate and breast cancer and a training program to encourage and prepare minority nursing students to earn Ph.D. degrees focusing on cancer research and health disparities. It also includes community outreach and education components as well as minority faculty development activities incorporated within the pilot projects and program. One of the major activities of the proposed program is a recruitment activity that will result in the immediate hiring of a senior-level biobehavioral researcher at SFSU and, over the next five years, the hiring of six junior-faculty researchers-all of whom will form the core of a new Biobehavioral Research Center at SFSU.. The President of SFSU has committed $1M to help build-out this new Center, and to allocating ongoing personnel funds for a tenured, senior level professor to fill this position. The proposal is the result of extensive planning among faculty and administrators at SFSU and the UCSFCC who took into careful consideration the strengths and weaknesses of both institutions and the ways in which the institutions could complement and strengthen each other's work. Projects, programs, and activities selected for this proposal are those that will mutually benefit both partners and surrounding neighborhoods which are poorly served by the health care network. One such direct benefit will be the enrollment of individuals from minority groups into cancer prevention trials. We have assembled an outstanding Program Steering Committee of highly productive researchers who have championed both increasing opportunities for individuals traditionally under-represented in biomedical and biobehavioral researcher and the elimination of health disparities Faculty and administrators from SFSU, to develop closer connections between the UCSFCC and minority communities, to work with community organizations to develop novel programs which take advantage of the combined resources and strengths of the SFSU/UCSFCC partnership, and to work toward the development of a U-54 program grant.
