描述（由申请人提供）：堪萨斯大学癌症中心（KUCC）是一家矩阵癌症中心，包括：位于堪萨斯城和威奇托的堪萨斯大学医学中心校区、堪萨斯-劳伦斯大学和Stowers医学研究所（通过联盟协议）。2010年，KUCC的143名成员占NCI资金的1 140万美元，癌症相关资金总额为5 510万美元。KUCC由Roy A.医学博士詹森他有一个强大的、全国公认的领导团队。在过去的七年里，我们取得了实质性的进展，确保了机构的承诺，招聘了关键的领导职位，建立了国家重要的研究项目，开发了我们的临床研究项目，改善和扩大了我们的设施，并创造了跨学科和协作的互动。在我们外部顾问委员会的投入下，我们为KUCC制定了三个目标，以确保我们在抗击癌症方面产生全国性的影响： 目标1：成为将实验室发现转化为新抗癌药物疗法的领先学术机构。 目标2：通过开发和培养科学探究的协作，合议和动态文化，为肿瘤学的基础，转化，临床和基于人群的研究提供最佳环境。 目标3：成为全国公认的领导者，与社区肿瘤学家和其他主要利益相关者合作，在我们的服务领域开发，促进和促进采用和实施基于研究的癌症预防，诊断，治疗，控制和生存实践。 为了实现这些目标，KUCC有四个研究项目，包括：癌症生物学，癌症控制和人口健康，癌症预防，药物发现，交付和实验治疗。此外，癌症中心支持四个共享资源：生物统计学和信息学，铅开发和优化，生物标本和临床试验管理。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) is a matrix cancer center that includes: the University of Kansas Medical Center campuses in Kansas City and Wichita, the University of Kansas-Lawrence, and the Stowers Institute for Medical Research (via consortium agreement). In 2010, 143 members of KUCC accounted for $11.4 million of NCI funding and a total of $55.1 million in overall cancer-related funding. KUCC is led by Roy A. Jensen, M.D. who is supported by a strong, nationally recognized leadership team. Over the last seven years substantial progress has been made securing institutional commitment, recruiting key leadership positions, building nationally significant research programs, developing our clinical research program, improving and expanding our facilities, and creating transdisciplinary and collaborative interactions. With input from our External Advisory Board, we have established three goals for KUCC that will insure we make a national impact in the fight against cancer: Goal 1: Become the leading academic institution for transforming discoveries from the laboratory into new anticancer drug therapies. Goal 2: Provide the optimal environment for basic, translational, clinical, and population-based research in oncology by developing and fostering a collaborative, collegial, and dynamic culture of scientific inquiry. Goal 3: Be a nationally recognized leader in partnering with community oncologists and other key stakeholders to develop, promote, and foster the adoption and implementation of research-based cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, control, and survivorship practices throughout our service area. To accomplish these goals KUCC has four research programs including: Cancer Biology, Cancer Control and Population Health, Cancer Prevention, and Drug Discovery, Delivery and Experimental Therapeutics. In addition, the Cancer Center supports four shared resources: Biostatistics and Informatics, Lead Development and Optimization, Biospecimen, and Clinical Trials Management.
