California State University, Fresno (Fresno State) has established a partnership with the NCl-designated Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI) Cancer Center and is applying for a P20 feasibility grant. The goals of the partnership are: a) enhance cancer research potential at Fresno State (a minority serving institution), b) train cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students for future cancer research careers, and c) track students to evaluate program progress. The partnership will combine strengths of both institutions in offering cancer biology education, research, and training in the Fresno State curricula. It will facilitate an intensive exposure of Fresno State students to world-class SBMRI faculty, graduate and postdoctoral resources by mentoring students towards PhD degree programs. Moreover, it will help develop core facility expertise in cancer research techniques/instrumentation at Fresno State and enhance SBMRI accessibility to underrepresented minority student populations. The specific aims of the partnership are: (1) Study cancer incidence in the ethnically-prominent Central California. Two pilot projects will address NIH identified critical health issues-pancreatic cancer and breast cancer in the Hispanic population. Each project focuses on molecular analyses of cancers via screening by mass spectrometry/proteomics or NMR/ metabolomics. These will augment Fresno State resources and optimize data collection for faculty to successfully undertake cancer-related projects. (2) Train minority students during summer at SBMRI, UCSD, and at Fresno State within the cancer research projects during the school year. Central California has many unique features that impact the rates of cancer which justify the proposed partnership. The Valley has over 3 million people and several counties have a Hispanic populace in excess of 50%. Implications for specific cancers more common to Hispanics and the relative paucity of minority cancer researchers serve as the motivation for this long-term partnership between Fresno State and SBMRI Cancer Center. Both Internal and External Advisory Committees will provide strategic guidance by evaluating progress to achieve partnership goals in research, student training, and implementing plans for competitive funding of R01 and U54 grants.

加州州立大学弗雷斯诺分校（弗雷斯诺州立大学）与美国国家癌症委员会指定的桑福德-伯纳姆医学研究所（SBMRI）癌症中心建立了合作伙伴关系，并正在申请P20可行性资助。该合作伙伴关系的目标是：a)增强弗雷斯诺州立大学（少数族裔服务机构）的癌症研究潜力，b)为未来的癌症研究职业培养本科生和研究生，c)跟踪学生以评估项目进展。这一合作将结合两所大学在弗雷斯诺州立大学课程中提供癌症生物学教育、研究和培训方面的优势。它将通过指导学生攻读博士学位课程，促进弗雷斯诺州立大学学生接触世界一流的SBMRI教师、研究生和博士后资源。此外，它将有助于发展弗雷斯诺州立大学癌症研究技术/仪器的核心设施专业知识，并提高SBMRI对代表性不足的少数民族学生群体的可及性。该合作伙伴关系的具体目标是：(1)研究加州中部地区的癌症发病率。两个试点项目将解决美国国立卫生研究院确定的关键健康问题——拉美裔人口中的胰腺癌和乳腺癌。每个项目都侧重于通过质谱/蛋白质组学或核磁共振/代谢组学筛选癌症的分子分析。这将增加弗雷斯诺州立大学的资源，并优化数据收集，使教师能够成功开展与癌症相关的项目。(2)暑期在SBMRI、加州大学圣地亚哥分校和弗雷斯诺州立大学对少数民族学生进行癌症研究项目培训。加州中部有许多影响癌症发病率的独特特征，这证明了拟议中的合作关系是合理的。硅谷有300多万人口，几个县的西班牙裔人口超过50%。对西班牙裔更常见的特定癌症的影响以及少数族裔癌症研究人员的相对缺乏是弗雷斯诺州立大学和SBMRI癌症中心之间长期合作的动机。内部和外部咨询委员会将通过评估进展来提供战略指导，以实现研究、学生培训方面的伙伴关系目标，并实施R01和U54赠款的竞争性资助计划。
