DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Summary/ABSTRACT: The proposed collaborative between the Cherokee Nation and the Stephenson Cancer Center has the explicit goal of creating the capacity to address tobacco-related cancer disparities in the Cherokee Nation through a linked program of pilot research and training and education for new investigators and students committed to advancing this work for the Cherokee Nation. We have four specific aims: 1) to develop an infrastructure, including a joint Internal Advisory Committee, capable of shaping multiple research, training, and education efforts between the Cherokee Nation and the Stephenson Cancer Center; 2) to conduct pilot research in tobacco use and cancer risk capable of seeding large-scale research projects at the Cherokee Nation; 3) to train the next generation of cancer researchers for the Cherokee Nation in the context of this research, including new investigators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students; 4) to build upon these efforts in order to achieve sustainability for the partnership and its efforts to address tobacco-related cancer disparities. This partnership offers a very real possibility of creating authentic tribal capacity for cancer disparities research through a broad-based program of community engagement, pilot research, and training for students and new investigators who can begin to address the persistent cancer disparities that result from tobacco. It represents an important advance over previously successful efforts at the Cherokee Nation through the integration of these efforts under a clear focus on tobacco and cancer disparities.

摘要/摘要：切罗基族和斯蒂芬森癌症中心之间拟议的合作有一个明确的目标，即通过一个试点研究、培训和教育项目，为致力于推进切罗基族这项工作的新研究者和学生创造能力，解决切罗基族与烟草相关的癌症差异。我们有四个具体目标：1)发展基础设施，包括一个联合内部咨询委员会，能够在切罗基民族和斯蒂芬森癌症中心之间形成多种研究、培训和教育努力；2)开展烟草使用和癌症风险方面的试点研究，以便在切罗基族开展大规模研究项目；3)在本研究的背景下为切罗基族培养下一代癌症研究人员，包括新的研究人员、博士后、研究生和本科生；4)在这些努力的基础上继续努力，以实现伙伴关系及其解决与烟草有关的癌症差异的努力的可持续性。这种伙伴关系提供了一种非常现实的可能性，即通过广泛的社区参与、试点研究和对学生和新调查人员的培训，为癌症差异研究创造真正的部落能力，这些研究人员可以开始解决烟草造成的持续癌症差异。通过将这些努力结合起来，明确关注烟草和癌症差异，这是切罗基族以往成功努力的重要进展。
