DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This P20 proposal presents a research and educational partnership between the Wake Forest University Comprehensive Cancer Center (WFUCCC) and the Departments of Biology and Chemistry of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University (NC A&T). The objectives of the partnership are: (1) to foster cancer research collaborations between WFUCCC and NC A&T, especially research focused on cancer disparities and to facilitate the career development of minority cancer research faculty at NC A&T through collaborations with and mentoring provided by the WFUCCC; (2) to foster interest in obtaining a PhD in cancer biology among minority undergraduate and Master's degree students at NC A&T. To achieve the first objective, the P20 will provide pilot funds for two collaborative research projects: (1) Drs. Suzy Torti and Yong Chen of the WFUCCC will mentor and collaborate with Dr. Marion Franks, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at NC A&T, on a project to synthesize and evaluate novel benzylidenes as prostate cancer chemopreventive agents; (2) Dr. Waldemar Debinski, Director of the Brain Tumor Center of the WFUCCC, will mentor and collaborate with Dr. Patrick Martin, Assistant Professor of Biology at NC A&T on a project to understand the role of transcription factor Fra1 in glioblastoma cell mobility and resistance to therapeutics. To achieve the second objective: (1) Selected RISE, MARC, and BLEND program undergraduates at NC A&T will participate in wet laboratory, computational biology, or health disparity outreach projects mentored by WFUCCC faculty; (2) Each pilot project team will select at least one NC A&T Master's degree student to ; participate in the project. The students will be offered the option of continued participation in the projects as PhD students in Cancer Biology at WFU; (3) WFUCCC and NC A&T faculty will collaborate to develop didactic teaching modules in cancer genomics and animal models of cancer for currently ongoing coursework at NC A&T. By the conclusion of the P20 it is expected that: (1) Drs. Franks and Martin and their WFUCCC collaborators will be writing joint RO1s; (2) The WFUCCC and NC A&T will be writing an R25 bridge application to support enrollment of NC A&T students in the PhD program in Cancer Biology at WFU.

描述（由申请人提供）：本P20提案提出了维克森林大学综合癌症中心（WFUCCC）和北卡罗来纳农业技术大学（NC A&T）生物和化学系之间的研究和教育合作伙伴关系。该合作伙伴关系的目标是：(1)促进WFUCCC与NC A&T之间的癌症研究合作，特别是针对癌症差异的研究，并通过与WFUCCC的合作和指导，促进NC A&T少数民族癌症研究教师的职业发展；(2)培养少数民族本科生和硕士生攻读癌症生物学博士学位的兴趣。为实现第一个目标，P20将为两个合作研究项目提供试点资金：WFUCCC的Suzy Torti和Yong Chen将指导并与NC A&T化学助理教授Marion Franks博士合作，研究合成和评估新型苄基二烯作为前列腺癌化学预防剂的项目；(2) WFUCCC脑肿瘤中心主任Waldemar Debinski博士将指导并与NC A&T生物学助理教授Patrick Martin博士合作开展一个项目，以了解转录因子Fra1在胶质母细胞瘤细胞流动性和治疗耐药性中的作用。为了实现第二个目标：(1)北工大RISE、MARC和BLEND项目的入选本科生将参加由WFUCCC教师指导的湿实验室、计算生物学或健康差异推广项目；(2)每个试点项目团队将选择至少一名NC A&T硕士学位学生；参与项目。学生可以选择继续作为WFU癌症生物学博士研究生参与项目；(3) WFUCCC和北工大教师将合作开发癌症基因组学和癌症动物模型的教学模块，用于北工大目前正在进行的课程。根据P20的结论，预计：(1)博士。弗兰克斯和马丁以及他们的WFUCCC合作者将共同编写ro1；(2) WFUCCC和NC A&T将编写R25桥接申请，以支持NC A&T学生在WFU攻读癌症生物学博士课程。
