DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Florida A&M University (FAMU) College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (COPPS) proposes the establishment of an Exploratory Center of Excellence (COE) in the area of Cancer Research, Training and Community Service (CRTCS). African-Americans experience the highest mortality rates associated with most cancer (breast, lung, prostate, etc.) deaths despite decreases in morbidity rates for all other racial and ethnic groups since early 1990. Health disparities are closely related to underlying socioeconomic inequalities and have been linked to racial differences among cancer mortality which presents major challenges across the entire spectrum of cancer prevention, early detection, and access to high quality care for disadvantage and underrepresented groups. The overall goal and objective of the COE CRTCS will consist of researchers focusing on developing innovative cancer research (breast and lung) abnormalities utilizing an interdisciplinary and synergistic approach toward addressing some of the most significant health consequences in minority and socioeconomic disadvantaged populations. This will address novel and innovative approaches to treating and preventing breast and lung cancer. The administrative; biomedical and behavioral research; research training/educational and community engagement/outreach cores will enable the COE CRTCS to accomplish the proposed initiatives. The specific aims of the COE CRTCS are to: 1) Develop detailed innovative research plans that will address specific cancer (breast and lung) health issues that disproportionately impact African-American; 2) Develop a research team conducting cancer research; 3) Train minority PhD graduate students in health disparities research affecting disadvantage and minority populations; 4) Increase the number of minority scientists engaged in biomedical and behavioral research; 5) Establish and enhance community outreach and information dissemination activities that will increase prevention efforts and foster early detection towards reducing breast cancer in African-American women (Leon and Gadsden County, Florida); 6) Establish and expand partnerships with community engagement/outreach organizations toward addressing and conducting minority health and other health disparities issues; and 7) Position FAMU to become more competitive in securing mainstream funding in biomedical and behavioral research support and addressing minority health disparities. The support of this application will promote minority health and aid i the elimination of health disparities as it relates to breast (among African-American females) and lung cancer (among minorities).

描述（由申请人提供）：佛罗里达农工大学 (FAMU) 药学与药物科学学院 (COPPS) 提议在癌症研究、培训和社区服务 (CRTCS) 领域建立卓越探索中心 (COE)。尽管自 1990 年初以来所有其他种族和族裔群体的发病率均有所下降，但非裔美国人与大多数癌症（乳腺癌、肺癌、前列腺癌等）死亡相关的死亡率最高。健康差异与潜在的社会经济不平等密切相关，并与癌症死亡率的种族差异相关，这对癌症预防、早期发现和获得高质量护理的整个范围提出了重大挑战。 弱势群体和代表性不足的群体。 COE CRTCS 的总体目标和目标将包括专注于开发创新癌症研究（乳腺癌和肺癌）异常的研究人员，利用跨学科和协同方法来解决少数族裔和社会经济弱势群体中一些最重大的健康后果。这将解决治疗和预防乳腺癌和肺癌的新颖和创新方法。行政；生物医学和行为研究；研究培训/教育和社区参与/外展核心将使 COE CRTCS 能够完成拟议的举措。 COE CRTCS 的具体目标是： 1) 制定详细的创新研究计划，解决对非裔美国人影响尤为严重的特定癌症（乳腺癌和肺癌）健康问题； 2）建立一支研究团队进行癌症研究； 3) 培训少数民族博士研究生进行影响弱势群体和少数民族人口的健康差异研究； 4）增加从事生物医学和行为研究的少数族裔科学家的数量； 5) 建立并加强社区外展和信息传播活动，以加强预防工作并促进早期发现，以减少非裔美国妇女的乳腺癌（佛罗里达州莱昂县和加兹登县）； 6) 与社区参与/外展组织建立并扩大伙伴关系，以解决和开展少数群体健康和其他健康差异问题； 7) 使 FAMU 在确保生物医学和行为研究支持的主流资金以及解决少数族裔健康差异方面变得更具竞争力。该应用程序的支持将促进少数族裔的健康，并帮助消除与乳腺癌（非裔美国女性）和肺癌（少数族裔）有关的健康差异。
