NCCU-LCCC Partrnership in Cancer Research (1 of 2)

北卡罗来纳中央大学(NCCU)和莱恩伯格综合癌症中心(LCCC)位于 北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC-CH)建议继续开展有效、可持续和 癌症研究中的互惠伙伴关系，重点是非裔美国人的健康差异。 在过去的八年里，在NCI的资助下，这两个机构牢固地建立了 在互补的机构优势基础上建立伙伴关系，在分子领域进行联合规划 癌症研究、基于人群的研究和初级教职员工和学生的培训。现在的合作伙伴关系 建议通过NCI资助的合作规划赠款(U54)扩大这些项目 减少癌症健康差距的全面伙伴关系。我们的目标是：(1)扩大 两个机构之间的研究合作；(2)利用U54内外的研究活动 在多学科研究方面培训学生和初级/中级教师的机制，旨在减少 癌症差异；(3)扩大和巩固社区外展和教育计划。这个 每个机构的优势都具有独特的定位，以克服对方的弱点 实现这些优先事项。建议书的具体协作部分包括：3个完整的基本项目 癌症研究、一个全面项目和两个社区外展试点项目、一个少数群体培训项目和一个 共享资源，以加强NCCU的基础设施和伙伴关系。广泛的专业知识，以及 LCCC在癌症研究和癌症教育培训方面的资源，对少数群体表现出兴趣 健康差距和NCCU在接触少数族裔人群、教职员工和学生方面的经验 将有助于该伙伴关系的互补机构优势：1)建立有效的癌症研究 基础设施/方案和增加少数群体服务机构的培训机会；和2)加强 针对少数族裔癌症相关健康差距和增加的基于社区和民众的研究 在NCI资助的综合癌症中心培训少数族裔科学家。

The North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) propose to continue an effective, sustainable, and mutually beneficial partnership in Cancer Research that focuses on African-American health disparities. During the past eight years and with funding from the NCI, the two institutions have firmly established the Partnership by building on complementary instituflonal strengths, conducting joint planning in molecular cancer research, population-based research and training of junior faculty and students. The Partnership now proposes to expand these iniflaflves through an NCI-funded Cooperative Planning Grant (U54) for Comprehensive Partnerships to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. Our objecflves are: (1) To expand research collaborations among the two institutions; (2) To use research activities in and outside the U54 mechanism to train students and junior/mid-level faculty in mulfldisciplinary research aimed at reducing cancer disparities; and (3) To expand and consolidate programs of community outreach and education. The strengths of each institution are uniquely posifloned to overcome the weaknesses found in the other to achieve these priorities. Specific collaborative components of the proposal include: 3 full projects in basic cancer research, one full and two pilot projects in community outreach, one minority training project, and one shared resource to enhance NCCU infrastructure and the partnership. The extensive expertise, and resources of LCCC in cancer research and cancer education training, the demonstrated interest in minority health disparities and the experience of NCCU in reaching minority populaflons, faculty and students, are complementary institutional strengths that will help the Partnership: 1) establish an effective cancer research infrastructure/program and increase training opportunities at a minority serving institution; and 2) enhance community- and populaflon-based research targeting minority cancer-related health disparities and increase training ef minority scienflsts at an NCI-funded Comprehensive Cancer Center.
