SFSU/UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Partnership Program

加州大学综合癌症中心(UCFCC)和旧金山州立大学(SFSU)提出了一项U56项目，该项目结合了前列腺癌和乳腺癌的研究试点项目，培训项目旨在帮助少数族裔学生为竞争激烈的博士项目做准备，重点是癌症研究和健康差距。还有一项招聘活动，将导致在旧金山州立大学建立一个专注于癌症研究的生物行为研究中心。我们的计划还将社区外展和教育部分以及少数族裔教师发展活动纳入我们的试点项目和试点计划。我们的建议是UCSFCC和SFSU教职员工和管理人员广泛规划的结果，考虑到了这两个机构的优势和劣势，以及这两个机构可以相互补充和加强工作的方式。由此产生的拟议活动的选择是为了使合作伙伴和周围社区都受益，特别是经济上处于不利地位的社区，这些社区得不到卫生保健网络的服务。一项重大努力将直接针对增加少数群体个人参加癌症预防试验的人数。我们组建了一个由高生产率研究人员组成的杰出项目指导委员会，他们倡导为在生物医学和生物行为研究中传统上代表性不足的个人增加机会，并消除健康差距。UCSFCC和SFSU的教职员工和管理人员致力于这一计划，并将继续合作，在SFSU制定一个稳定的癌症研究计划，在UCSFCC和少数族裔社区之间建立更紧密的联系，并与社区组织合作开发新计划，利用UCSFCC/SFSU合作伙伴关系的综合资源和优势以及NCI的支持。

The University of California Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCFCC) and San Francisco State University (SFSU) propose a U56 program that combines research pilot projects on prostate and breast cancer, a training program to prepare minority students for highly competitive Ph.D. programs with a focus on cancer research and health disparities., and a recruitment activity that will result in establishment of a biobehavioral research center focused on cancer research at SFSU. Our plan also incorporates community outreach and education components as well as minority faculty development activities within our pilot projects and pilot programs. Our proposal is the result of extensive planning between faculty and administrators at the UCSFCC and SFSU which has taken into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of both institutions and the ways in which the institutions can complement and strengthen each other's work. The resulting proposed activities were selected to benefit both partners and surrounding community, especially economically disadvantaged neighborhoods which are poorly served by the health care network. A major effort will be direct at increasing 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 increasing opportunities for individuals traditionally underrepresented in biomedical and biobehavioral research, and eliminating health disparities. Faculty and administrators from the UCSFCC and SFSU are committed to this program and will continue to work together to develop a stable cancer research program at SFSU, to develop closer connections between the UCSFCC and minority communities, and to work with community organizations to develop novel programs which take advantage of the combined resources and strengths of the UCSFCC/SFSU partnership and the support of the NCI.
