 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to establish a Partnership between Alabama State University (ASU) and the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (UAB CCC). The Partnership, located in the heart of the Southeast, a region with a large, historically underserved African American population, has goals of attaining excellence in research focused on cancer health disparities. The two institutions possess unique strengths that supplement each other. At ASU, which is classified as a historically black college and university (HBCU), more than 90% of students and more than 60% of the faculty belong to an underserved minority community in which health disparities are a significant issue in various areas, including cancer. The UAB CCC, in contrast, has developed an extensive infrastructure and critical mass of scientists that are necessary for a sustained research program. Still, ASU has a cultural sensitivity and perspective that may be deficient in the UAB CCC. Thus, the partners will facilitate collaborations in cancer-related research, training (career development), and education to aid this underserved community. UAB CCC faculty/scientists will cooperate with faculty and students at ASU and thereby initiate cancer research programs, creating an conduit for ASU faculty and students to pursue cancer research programs. The proposed effort will engage underserved groups by providing advanced research in prostate and colorectal cancer (both of which are major cancer health disparities for African Americans), by providing training to students and faculty members and by introducing topics related to cancer health disparities into the undergraduate and graduate curriculum at ASU. The proposed Partnership has an Administrative Core, a Cancer Research Program with two functioning projects, and a Cancer Training and Education Program. Within the Administrative Core, there are Bioethics Support, Biostatistics/Bioinformatics Support, and Evaluation Support. The Partnership will be guided by an Internal Advisory Committee, which will consist of two distinguished scientists of each institution; an Executive Committee with members of both institutions; and, for each organization, a Partnership Institutional Committee. The Cancer Training and Education Program will reach talented students and faculty at ASU, linking them to established investigators and to the research infrastructure at the UAB CCC, and facilitate faculty, graduate, and undergraduate student and education in the area of cancer research in order to increase the number of minority investigators involved in cancer research. The goal of the Bioethics support will be to provide exceptional bioethics education, training, guidance, and consultation throughout the Partnership. The goal of the Biostatistics/Bioinformatics support will be to address the statistical/bioinformatics needs of the research projects sponsored by the Partnership. The specific aims for the Partnership are: (1) to enhance, by development of junior faculty members, the research and administrative infrastructure to conduct competitive basic and community-based cancer research at ASU; (2) to develop investigators committed to research in cancer disparities at both partnering institutions; and (3) to establish a pipeline of minority cancer disparity researchers and health professionals between ASU and UAB.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本申请旨在建立阿拉巴马州立大学 (ASU) 和 UAB 综合癌症中心 (UAB CCC) 之间的合作伙伴关系。该伙伴关系位于东南部的中心地带，该地区拥有大量历史上服务不足的地区 非裔美国人的目标是在癌症健康差异的研究中取得卓越成就。两所机构拥有独特优势，优势互补。亚利桑那州立大学被列为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 (HBCU)，该校超过 90% 的学生和超过 60% 的教职人员属于服务不足的少数族裔社区，其中健康差距是包括癌症在内的各个领域的一个重大问题。相比之下，UAB CCC 已经开发了广泛的基础设施和关键数量的科学家，这是持续研究计划所必需的。尽管如此，ASU 的文化敏感性和视角可能是 UAB CCC 所缺乏的。因此，合作伙伴将促进癌症相关研究、培训（职业发展）和教育方面的合作，以帮助这个服务不足的社区。 UAB CCC 教师/科学家将与亚利桑那州立大学的教师和学生合作，从而启动癌症研究项目，为亚利桑那州立大学的教师和学生开展癌症研究项目创造渠道。拟议的工作将通过提供前列腺癌和结直肠癌（这两种癌症都是非裔美国人主要的癌症健康差异）方面的先进研究、为学生和教职员工提供培训以及将与癌症健康差异相关的主题引入亚利桑那州立大学的本科生和研究生课程来吸引服务不足的群体。拟议的伙伴关系有一个行政核心、一个包含两个运作项目的癌症研究计划以及一个癌症培训和教育计划。行政核心内包括生物伦理支持、生物统计学/生物信息学支持和评估支持。该伙伴关系将由内部咨询委员会指导，该委员会由每个机构的两名杰出科学家组成；由两个机构的成员组成的执行委员会；每个组织还设有一个伙伴关系机构委员会。癌症培训和教育计划将覆盖亚利桑那州立大学的优秀学生和教师，将他们与已建立的研究人员和 UAB CCC 的研究基础设施联系起来，并促进癌症研究领域的教师、研究生和本科生及其教育，以增加参与癌症研究的少数族裔研究人员的数量。生物伦理学支持的目标是在整个合作伙伴关系中提供卓越的生物伦理学教育、培训、指导和咨询。生物统计学/生物信息学支持的目标是满足该伙伴关系资助的研究项目的统计/生物信息学需求。该伙伴关系的具体目标是：(1) 通过培养初级教员，加强研究和行政基础设施，以便在亚利桑那州立大学开展有竞争力的基础和社区癌症研究； (2) 在两个合作机构培养致力于研究癌症差异的研究人员； (3) 在亚利桑那州立大学和阿拉巴马大学之间建立少数族裔癌症差异研究人员和卫生专业人员的渠道。
