ABSTRACT (ADMINISTRATIVE CORE) Low-income rural communities experience significant cancer health disparities, including lower screening rates, increased incidence, later stage at detection, poorer survival, and higher mortality. The Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (SIUSM) and its Simmons Cancer Institute serve the central, southern, and Delta regions of Illinois. These rural communities have elevated poverty rates, are medically under-served, and have disparately high cancer incidence and mortality. SIUSM and the NCI-designated Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) at Washington University in Saint Louis (WUSTL) established this Partnership to promote cancer research at SIUSM and reduce these disparities. Our overall aims in this P20 application are to build cancer research capacity at SIUSM, support SIUSM faculty in transitioning to NIH-funded cancer disparities research, and expand SCC's rural cancer research reach and activity. We aim to foster the development of trainees and junior faculty at both institutions to help them develop rural cancer disparity research and will provide opportunities for all investigators to engage in cross-institutional research and mentoring. Our Administrative Core provides the leadership and management to help us achieve these goals and grow our Partnership. This Core is led by the two Principal Investigators, supported by an Executive Committee representing Program Leaders and stakeholders from each partner site. An Internal Advisory Committee representing leadership from SIUSM, WUSTL, and the comprehensive cancer center (SCC) will provide oversight, evaluation, and direction. We added a Community Advisory Committee to assist us in setting priorities and developing community engagement strategies. The Administrative Core Aims are: 1) Promote and implement a pilot research program that provides investigators with research funding, experience, and preliminary data for future NIH RO1/R21 grants. This program, initiated in 2013, has already linked our faculty, and is helping SIUSM investigators build their research programs and allowing SCC investigators to expand their rural cancer disparities research. We funded one pilot internally last year; another is included with this application. 2) SCC will provide SIUSM faculty access to learning activities, such as sharing seminars through video/web uplink. Together we will develop a short-term investigator exchange program and a rural health seminar series as part of the Training Program. 3) Building on existing activities, we will share strategies for faculty early career development. In particular, WUSTL's Division of Public Health Sciences offers a 10-month master's degree in Population Health Science, in which we will enroll SIUSM faculty. SIUSM faculty will be included in SCC's comprehensive and integrated mentoring activities. 4) We will refine our evaluation framework to measure effectiveness of our Partnership efforts. The Core will also work to ensure sustainability of the Partnership and activities through planning and submitting future grant applications. In whole, we believe these activities will create a sustainable and effective cancer disparities research program at SIUSM and enhance that at SCC.

摘要（行政核心） 低收入农村社区存在显着的癌症健康差异，包括筛查率较低、 发病率增加，发现时较晚，生存率较差，死亡率较高。伊利诺伊州南部 大学医学院 (SIUSM) 及其西蒙斯癌症研究所为中部、南部和西部地区提供服务 伊利诺伊州三角洲地区。这些农村社区的贫困率较高，医疗服务不足，而且 癌症的发病率和死亡率都非常高。 SIUSM 和 NCI 指定的 Siteman 癌症中心 圣路易斯华盛顿大学 (WUSTL) 的 SCC（SCC）建立了这一合作伙伴关系以促进癌症 SIUSM 的研究并减少这些差异。我们在此 P20 应用程序中的总体目标是构建癌症 SIUSM 的研究能力，支持 SIUSM 教师转向 NIH 资助的癌症差异研究， 扩大 SCC 的农村癌症研究范围和活动。我们的目标是促进学员的发展和 两个机构的初级教师帮助他们开展农村癌症差异研究，并将提供 为所有研究人员提供参与跨机构研究和指导的机会。我们的行政 Core 提供领导和管理，帮助我们实现这些目标并发展我们的合作伙伴关系。这 核心由两名首席研究员领导，并得到代表计划的执行委员会的支持 每个合作伙伴站点的领导者和利益相关者。代表领导层的内部咨询委员会 SIUSM、WUSTL 和综合癌症中心 (SCC) 将提供监督、评估和 方向。我们设立了社区咨询委员会来协助我们确定优先事项并制定 社区参与策略。行政核心目标是： 1) 推动和实施试点 研究计划，为研究人员提供研究经费、经验和未来的初步数据 NIH RO1/R21 拨款。该项目于 2013 年启动，已经将我们的教师联系起来，并正在帮助 SIUSM 研究人员制定了他们的研究计划，并允许 SCC 研究人员扩大他们的农村癌症研究范围 差异研究。去年我们内部资助了一个试点项目；另一个包含在该应用程序中。 2）SCC 将为 SIUSM 教师提供学习活动的机会，例如通过视频/网络上传共享研讨会。 作为一部分，我们将共同制定短期研究者交流计划和农村健康研讨会系列 培训计划的内容。 3) 在现有活动的基础上，我们将分享教师早期职业生涯的策略 发展。特别是，WUSTL 的公共卫生科学部提供为期 10 个月的硕士学位 人口健康科学，我们将招收 SIUSM 教员。 SIUSM教师将被纳入SCC 全面、综合的指导活动。 4）我们将完善评估框架来衡量 我们的伙伴关系努力的有效性。核心还将努力确保伙伴关系的可持续性 通过规划和提交未来的赠款申请来开展活动。总的来说，我们相信这些活动将 在 SIUSM 制定可持续且有效的癌症差异研究计划，并在 SCC 加强该计划。
