CCNY / MSK Cancer Center Partnership

该申请描述了纽约城市学院和纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心之间建立合作伙伴关系的计划。我们建议建立合作伙伴关系，以充分利用CCNY作为少数民族高等教育机构的优势和MSK作为主要大都市癌症中心的科学和临床资源。具体来说，在第一年，我们提出了一系列四项试点研究，这些研究将产生具有竞争力的R01提案，并作为未来合作研究工作的模型。通过对宗教安慰和紧张的研究，将有助于我们建立涉及MSK癌症患者的联合研究程序。一项确定非裔美国人社区结直肠癌筛查障碍的研究将为我们创造文化敏感的教育材料和招募社区样本提供经验。免疫功能的研究将展示共享实验室资源和设备的潜力。长远而言，我们计划实施联合临床研究项目及社区干预，以促进癌症的预防和早期发现。每一个联合试验项目都纳入了研究培训经验。我们的计划旨在满足少数民族学生和科学家在职业发展道路上的关键时刻的需求，包括发展联合博士后奖学金，以及在高级本科/早期研究生阶段开设癌症生物学和癌症预防、控制和治疗中的社会心理问题课程。在癌症推广领域，我们计划将MSK现有的几个nci赞助的项目与CCNY的继续教育和校园健康项目结合起来，以提高公众对癌症研究的了解，并增加哈莱姆社区的早期发现和护理机会。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。入选的成员包括与癌症对少数族裔社区影响相关领域的专家、对各自机构的教职活动具有广泛影响力和认识的院长和地区领导人，以及在指导和培训少数族裔科学家的项目中具有丰富经验的学者。

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 higher education for minority populations and the scientific and clinical resources of MSK, a major metropolitan cancer center. Specifically, in the first year, we propose a series of four pilot studies that will lead to competitive R01 proposals that also serve as models for future collaborative research efforts. Through a study of religious comforts and strains will help us to establish procedures for joint studies involving MSK cancer patients. A study to identify barriers to colorectal cancer screening in the African American community will give us experience in creating culturally sensitive education materials and in recruiting community samples. A study of immunological functioning will demonstrate potential for sharing laboratory resources and equipment. In the longer term we plan to implement joint clinical research project 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, include the development of joint post-doctoral fellowships as well as curricula at 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. ore 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 and experience in programs to mentor and train minority scientists.
