Cancer Center Support Grant

描述(申请人提供)：堪萨斯大学癌症中心(KUCC)是一个母体癌症中心，包括：堪萨斯城和威奇托的堪萨斯大学医学中心校区，堪萨斯大学劳伦斯大学，以及斯托尔斯医学研究所(通过联合体协议)。2010年，KUCC的143个成员提供了1140万美元的NCI资金和总计5510万美元的癌症相关资金。KUCC由Roy A.Jensen医学博士领导，他得到了一个强大的、全国公认的领导团队的支持。在过去的七年里，在确保机构承诺、招聘关键领导职位、建立全国重要的研究计划、开发我们的临床研究计划、改进和扩大我们的设施以及创建跨学科和协作互动方面取得了实质性进展。在我们外部咨询委员会的帮助下，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影响： 目标1：成为将实验室发现转化为新的抗癌药物疗法的领先学术机构。 目标2：通过发展和培育协作、合作和动态的科学研究文化，为肿瘤学的基础、转译、临床和基于人群的研究提供最佳环境。 目标3：在与社区肿瘤学家和其他关键利益攸关方合作方面，成为全国公认的领导者，在我们的服务领域内开发、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、癌症预防和药物发现、交付和实验治疗。此外，癌症中心还支持四个共享资源：生物统计和信息学、Lead开发和优化、Biospecimen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.
