SC Cancer Disparties Research Center (1 of 2)

描述(由申请人提供)：南卡罗来纳州癌症差异研究中心(SC GADRE)的主要目标是在南卡罗来纳州州立大学(SCSU)和南卡罗来纳医科大学(MUSC)培养一批训练有素的教员研究人员，他们将进行专注于差异的可行性研究，并获得初步数据，这些数据将导致提交特定的竞争性拨款申请，这些申请传统上得到国家癌症研究所和其他同行审查资助机构的支持。SC干部的次要目标是提高新兴科学家、本科生和研究生的种族和民族多样性，他们将选择基础、临床和人口科学领域的癌症研究职业。在这些目标中，高级公务员干部的五个主要目标是：1.a.)建立和实施中心治理结构，以加快生物医学研究，重点解决癌症差异问题；1.确定目标2-5的具体战略，确定优先顺序并对其进行评估；2.开展激发研究的活动；发起并完成三个试点研究项目；对选定的SC干部教职员工和学生研究员实施三级研究指导策略；制定和实施前列腺癌和乳腺癌研究强化培训课程；获得同行评审的资金，以支持S C干部内部开发的新的合作研究努力。SC干部最初将重点关注南加州海岛上的非洲裔美国人(AA)、南加州普通人口中的非裔美国人以及欧洲裔美国人的前列腺癌和乳腺癌差异。这些人口反映了从南加州州立大学所在的州中部地区到南加州州立大学所在的南加州沿海地区的地理梯度。自然科学干部的另一个特点是，它将采用以社区为基础的参与性研究的原则，为研究人员和社区成员提供一个合作和共同学习的过程。SC干部指定的社区咨询社区将为与社区复杂接触的伙伴关系的每一个方面的发展和形成性和终结性评估提供大量投入，这些伙伴关系将解决当前的社区卫生保健问题，并确保SC的劳动力将准备好继续满足其人口子孙后代的长期卫生需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The primary goal of the South Carolina Cancer Disparities Research Center (SC CaDRe) is to create a critical mass of well trained faculty researchers at SC State University (SCSU) and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) who will conduct disparity-focused feasibility studies and obtain preliminary data that will lead to the submission of specific competitive grant applications traditionally supported by the National Cancer Institute and other peer-reviewing funding agencies. A secondary goal of SC CaDRe is to enhance the racial and ethnic diversity of emerging scientists, undergraduate and graduate students, who will choose cancer research careers in basic, clinical, and population sciences. Within these goals, the five main objectives of the SC CaDRe are to: 1 .a.) Establish and implement a Center governance structure to accelerate biomedical research with a focus on addressing cancer disparities; 1 .b.) Define, prioritize and evaluate specific strategie for objectives 2-5; 2.) Conduct research-stimulating activities; initiate and complete three pilot research projects; 3.) Implement a triple-level research mentoring strategy for selected SC CaDRe faculty and student fellows; 4.) Develop and Implement a prostate and breast cancer research intensive training curriculum; 5.) Obtain peer-reviewed funding to support the new collaborative research efforts developed within S C CaDRe. The SC CaDRe will Initially focus its efforts on prostate and breast cancer disparities in African Americans (AA) from the Sea Islands of SC, an ethnic group unique to the coastal southeastern U.S.; AAs from the general population of SC; and European Americans. These populations reflect the geographic gradient from the mid-state region where SCSU is located to the coastal region of SC where MUSC is located. Another defining feature of SC CaDRe is that it will employ the principles of community based participatory research providing a cooperative and co-learning process for researchers and community members. SC CaDRe's appointed Community Advisory Community will provide substantial input into the development and formative and summative evaluation of every aspect of partnership intricately engaged with its community that will address immediate community health care issues and ensure that SC's workforce will be poised to continue to address the long term health needs of its population for generations to come.
