The University of Guam (UOG) is the only four-year institution of higher learning in the Western Pacific serving the U.S. territories of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as all of Micronesia. The University offers BS and BA degrees in well over 30 disciplines as well as Master degrees in eight different areas. The student population consists of approximately 50% Pacific Islanders, 32% Filipino, 9% Caucasians, 8% Asians, and 1% other minorities. The University operates several interdisciplinary research programs including marine biology, water and environmental research, Micronesian language and area studies, and Micronesian health and aging studies. The Cancer Research Center of Hawaii (CRCH) is an NCI-designated cancer center at the University of Hawaii. The CRCH is currently the only NCI-designated Cancer Center at a minority-serving institution. There are four research programs established at the CRCH, along with a large clinical trials unit and the Hawaii Tumor Registry. Research efforts at the CRCH take particular advantage of the research opportunities provided in Hawaii which includes the multiethnic population in the State of Hawaii and their vastly different risks of developing cancer at different organ sites. Accordingly, research addressing health disparities in different ethnic groups and minorities along with a particular awareness of cultural sensitivity are major characteristics of the CRCH. CRCH and UOG have a track record of approximately 15 years of successful research cooperation in the area of natural products drug discovery. The two institutions plan to develop their successful research cooperation into a long-term partnership of mutual benefit in the area of cancer research, cancer training and career development, and cancer outreach. This application for a U56 comprehensive planning grant for a Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnership has the following objectives: a) to increase the cancer research capabilities in a variety of different disciplines at the UOG, b) to increase the number of minority scientists of Pacific Islander ancestry engaged in cancer research or other cancer related activities by providing pertinent undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate training opportunities, c) to provide career development for cancer investigators at the UOG in order to develop and sustain independently funded cancer research programs at the UOG, d) to further strengthen the focus of research, training, and outreach activities at the CRCH on the disproportionate incidence, mortality, and morbidity in minority populations, e) to expand the geographic region of the U.S. served by CRCH to the Territory of Guam, and f) to ultimately reduce the impact of cancer on the population in the Territory of Guam (and possibly other U.S. island territories in the Pacific) by enhancing the awareness of cancer prevention opportunities and improving the quality of care for cancer patients.

关岛大学（UOG）是西太平洋唯一的高等教育机构，为美国关岛和北玛丽安娜群岛的英联邦以及整个麦克罗尼西亚提供服务。该大学在八个不同领域提供了30多个学科的学士学位和学士学位。学生人数包括 大约50％的太平洋岛民，32％的菲律宾人，9％的高加索人，8％的亚洲人和1％的其他少数民族。该大学开展了几项跨学科研究计划，包括海洋生物学，水和环境研究，密克罗尼西亚语言和区域研究以及密克罗尼亚的健康与衰老研究。 夏威夷癌症研究中心（CRCH）是夏威夷大学的NCI指定的癌症中心。 CRCH目前是少数派服务机构的NCI指定癌症中心。 CRCH有四个研究计划，以及大型临床试验单元和夏威夷肿瘤注册中心。 CRCH的研究工作尤其优势夏威夷提供的研究机会，其中包括夏威夷州的多种族人口及其在不同器官部位发展癌症的风险截然不同。因此，针对不同种族和少数民族的健康差异以及对文化敏感性的特殊认识的研究是CRCH的主要特征。 CRCH和UOG在天然产品发现领域成功进行了大约15年的成功研究合作记录。这两个机构计划在癌症研究，癌症培训和职业发展以及癌症外展领域建立成功的研究合作，成为共同利益的长期合作伙伴关系。这项为少数族裔机构/癌症中心合作伙伴关系的U56综合规划拨款申请具有以下目标：a）提高UOG的各种不同学科的癌症研究能力，b）增加 太平洋岛民的祖先通过提供相关的本科，毕业和研究生培训机会，c）为UOG的癌症研究人员提供职业发展，以在UOG开发和维持独立资助的UOG癌症研究计划，以进一步增强研究，培训，培训，以及不及格的不断变化，不断地构成不适当的型号，并促进了不适当的型号，并在不断上贴上了型号，并在不适合的情况下进行了不适当的临床效率，尤其是不适当地构成不适当的型号。将CRCH服务的美国地理区域扩展到关岛领土，并最终降低 通过提高对癌症患者的癌症预防机会的认识并提高癌症患者的护理质量的意识，对关岛领土（以及可能是美国太平洋岛上其他地区）的人口进行癌症。
