Morehouse School of Med/Tuskegee U/UAB Comp. Cancer Center Partnership

项目总结（见说明）： 本申请是为了延续莫尔豪斯医学院（MSM），塔斯基吉大学（TU）和亚拉巴马大学伯明翰分校（UAB）综合癌症中心（UABCCC）之间现有的合作关系。这三个机构，每个服务于一个社区与主要的黑人白人种族差异，拥有独特的优势，相辅相成。主要目标是 在MSM和TU建立有效的癌症研究计划方面保持进展，并坚持在TU发展未来少数民族研究者的管道。该伙伴关系，在教育，研究，职业发展和癌症外展四个有效的研究计划，将继续：1）通过有效的研究培训，挖掘目前在MSM和TU的有才华的学生和教师的人才库 和职业发展（RTCD）计划，将他们与既定的研究人员和UABCCC的研究基础设施联系起来; 2）促进发展研究计划，该计划为开展与RTCD计划并行的研究项目提供资助机会; 3）鼓励博士后研究员，研究生和跨学科的本科生在科学领域从事职业生涯 通过我们的癌症教育计划，我们将致力于发展生物科学，并为我们的RTCD和发展研究计划提供渠道;以及，4）通过我们已建立的社区外展（现为癌症外展）计划，在我们最缺乏服务的人群中促进癌症筛查和健康的生活方式，并增加少数群体对治疗性临床试验的参与。该伙伴关系有两个互动共享资源：1）生物伦理学共享资源促进并确保遵守 生物伦理原则，并解决多数和少数机构之间以及机构和服务不足社区之间关系中的伦理考虑; 2）生物统计共享资源保持对伙伴关系所有计划的统计支持。随着持续的成就，这种伙伴关系将提供UABCCC，男男性接触者，和TU与增强能力进行癌症健康差异的研究。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): This application is for continuation of the existing partnership between Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), Tuskegee University (TU), and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Cancer Center (UABCCC). The three institutions, each serving a community with major black-white racial disparities, possess unique sets of strengths that complement each other. The primary objectives are to maintain progress in establishment of effective cancer research programs at MSM and TU and to persist In developing a pipeline of prospective minority Investigators at TU. The Partnership, with four effective Research Programs In education, research, career progression, and cancer outreach, will continue: 1) to tap the pool of talented students and faculty currently at MSM and TU through an effective Research Training and Career Development (RTCD) Program, linking them to established investigators and to the research Infrastructure at the UABCCC; 2) to promote a Developmental Research Program, which provides funding opportunities to conduct research projects in parallel to the RTCD Program; 3) to encourage postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates across scientific disciplines to pursue careers in the biosciences through our Cancer Education Program and to provide a pipeline into our RTCD and Developmental Research Programs; and, 4) through our established Community Outreach (now Cancer Outreach) Program, to promote cancer screening and healthy lifestyles among our most underserved populations and increase minority participation in therapeutic clinical trials. The partnership has two Interactive Shared Resources: 1) The Bioethics Shared Resource promotes and ensures adherence to bioethical principles and addresses ethical considerations in relationships between majority and minority institutions and between institutions and underserved communities; and 2) The Biostatistics Shared Resource maintains statistical support to all programs ofthe Partnership. With continued accomplishments, this partnership will provide the UABCCC, MSM, and TU with an enhanced capability to conduct research on cancer health disparities.
