项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Strong ties have developed between investigators at Columbia University's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) and Long Island University's Brooklyn campus (LIU) over the past four years. Several joint grants and projects have resulted, totaling over $2 million, with two proposals pending. Anchoring this collaboration has been a P20 from NCI (CA91372). These research efforts have focused on differences among African Caribbean immigrant populations in Brooklyn and North Manhattan (including Dominican, Haitian, and English-speaking Caribbean) and US-born African American and European American. The research includes behavioral, cultural, lifestyle, and biological/genetic differences that may relate to cancer-related health disparities. In this application, we propose to build upon the existing partnership and use it as a platform for a broader, more comprehensive study of the same issues. This partnership would meld the two institutions, with an emphasis on bringing together their complementary strengths. The PI at LIU is a well-known psychologist with extensive behavioral and survey research experience with these populations in Brooklyn. The PI at Columbia is a medical oncologist and epidemiologist with a strong record in cancer prevention and control research and a leadership position in the HICCC. HICCC will provide access to its core facilities, especially the Biostatistics Core, while LIU will provide its expertise in survey and behavioral research. The proximity of the two institutions will permit frequent seminars and workshops attended by individuals from both centers, as well as an annual retreat at each center. Students and faculty at each will also have access to courses and lectures at each of the institutions. Equally important will be programs designed to provide experience for minority students and faculty in cancer research, with the opportunity for students from LIU to obtain admissions and fellowships to Columbia programs, illustrated by a minority predoc from LIU who will have a R25 postdoc at Columbia. Two projects and four pilots are proposed in year 1, with a prominent external advisory committee to meet annually to review the progress of the U54 program. There will be an annual competition for funding for the following year; proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers, as was successfully conducted in our P20. Ongoing/proposed projects/pilots will be discussed at a monthly workshop alternating between campuses at which statisticians, data management, and methodologists will attend to provide constructive discussion. A representative from the University of West Indies (UWI) will attend annual EAB meetings and, via videoconference, quarterly internal steering committee meetings with long-term possibilities for dual site (Brooklyn/Caribbean) projects. This partnership has a unique study population, a successful existing relationship, and an emphasis on population science research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的四年里，哥伦比亚大学赫伯特欧文综合癌症中心（CDC）和长岛大学布鲁克林校区（LIU）的研究人员之间建立了牢固的联系。已经产生了几项联合赠款和项目，总额超过200万美元，有两项提案尚待批准。支持这项合作的是NCI的P20（CA 91372）。这些研究工作集中在布鲁克林和北曼哈顿的非洲加勒比移民人口（包括多米尼加人，海地人和讲英语的加勒比人）与美国出生的非洲裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人之间的差异。该研究包括可能与癌症相关的健康差异有关的行为，文化，生活方式和生物/遗传差异。在本申请中，我们建议在现有伙伴关系的基础上，将其作为对同样问题进行更广泛、更全面研究的平台。这种伙伴关系将使这两个机构融合在一起，重点是将它们的互补优势结合起来。刘的PI是一位著名的心理学家，在布鲁克林的这些人群中拥有丰富的行为和调查研究经验。哥伦比亚的PI是一位医学肿瘤学家和流行病学家，在癌症预防和控制研究方面有着良好的记录，并在CIMCC中担任领导职务。CIMCC将提供其核心设施，特别是生物统计核心，而刘将提供其在调查和行为研究方面的专业知识。这两个机构邻近，因此可以经常举办由两个中心的个人参加的研讨会和讲习班，并在每个中心举行年度务虚会。学生和教师在每个也将有机会在每个机构的课程和讲座。同样重要的将是旨在为少数民族学生和教师提供癌症研究经验的计划，为刘的学生提供机会获得哥伦比亚计划的入学和奖学金，由刘的少数民族预科生说明，他将在哥伦比亚获得R25博士后。第一年提出了两个项目和四个试点项目，一个著名的外部咨询委员会每年举行会议，审查U 54计划的进展情况。下一年将举行年度资金竞争;提案将由外部审查员审查，正如我们在P20中成功进行的那样。正在进行的/拟议的项目/试点将在每月一次的研讨会上讨论，在校园之间交替，统计学家，数据管理和方法学家将出席提供建设性的讨论。西印度群岛大学的一名代表将出席EAB年度会议，并通过视频会议出席内部指导委员会季度会议，讨论双地点（布鲁克林/加勒比）项目的长期可能性。这种伙伴关系有一个独特的研究人口，一个成功的现有关系，并强调人口科学研究。
