2/2 The TREND Partnership: Tobacco Research and Education to Eliminate Disparities

 描述（由申请人提供）：这些P20申请描述了纽约城市学院和纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心之间的合作主题伙伴关系的发展。这项合作被称为“趋势伙伴关系：消除烟草差异的转化研究、教育和培训”。TREND伙伴关系建立在两个具有独特能力的特殊机构之间现有的，互利的和不断发展的伙伴关系基础上。本次规划补助金申请的目标是开发 我们机构内部和机构之间的协调能力，以支持旨在减少烟草相关癌症健康差距的合作研究、研究培训和教育工作。我们有三个主要目标：1）为两个CCNY/MSK合作翻译烟草相关差异试点研究项目提供资金，指导和支持。这些项目将获得初步数据，这些数据将直接导致提交竞争性同行审查的供资提案。2)为CCNY学生和MSK研究员提供与烟草相关的社会差异研究培训，广泛接触相关科学领域。我们将建立：a）CCNY的四个研究培训职位，有适当的CCNY/MSK教师导师和烟草差异研究项目实习，以及B）一系列CCNY/MSK共享培训活动，重点是研究和解决烟草差异所需的特定研究主题和技能。3)增加CCNY临床计划课程，包括有关烟草使用和依赖的知识和能力，烟草相关的差异，以及烟草依赖的循证治疗。我们将纳入：a）与烟草和尼古丁生物化学，尼古丁成瘾，烟草相关差异以及烟草使用和依赖治疗相关的知识和能力，作为BS/MD课程中从基础科学到临床科学的永久跨学科纵向主线; B）与烟草相关的差异相关的知识和能力，以及将烟草依赖作为一种永久性的、医师助理（PA）课程和认证成瘾物质滥用顾问（CASAC）课程的必要元素，以及d）将所吸取的经验教训纳入竞争性R25赠款申请，以支持烟草-研究机构课程开发项目，将提供烟草差异研究方面的持续研究培训和传播到CCNY，MSK，和更广泛的纽约市社区。这个R25项目将开发和测试一个模型，以发展解决与烟草有关的癌症差异的能力，这种差异可以在其他地方复制。实现TREND伙伴关系的目标将对我们开展癌症差异研究、研究培训和教育的共同能力产生持续和强大的影响，并对目前与理解和解决烟草差异有关的知识基础产生重大影响。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): These P20 applications describe the development of a collaborative theme-specific partnership between City College of New York, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. This collaboration is called the TREND Partnership: Translational Research Education and Training to Eliminate Tobacco Disparities. The TREND Partnership builds on an existing, mutually beneficial, and evolving partnership between two exceptional institutions with unique capacities. The goal for this planning grant application is to develop the coordinated capacity within and between our institutions to support collaborative research, research training, and education efforts aimed at reducing tobacco-related cancer health disparities. We have three primary objectives: 1) To provide funding, mentoring, and support for two CCNY/MSK collaborative translational tobacco-related disparities Pilot Research Projects for Early Stage Investigators. These projects will obtain preliminary data that will lead directly o submission of competitive peer-reviewed funding proposals. 2) To provide translational cells to society tobacco-related disparities research training for CCNY students and MSK Research Fellows with broad exposure to relevant scientific domains. We will establish: a) four research training positions at CCNY with appropriate CCNY/MSK faculty mentors and tobacco disparities research project placements, and b) a series of CCNY/MSK shared training activities focused on the specific research topics and skills needed to examine and address tobacco disparities. 3) To augment CCNY clinical program curricula to include knowledge and competencies about tobacco use and dependence, tobacco-related disparities, and the evidence-based treatment of tobacco dependence. We will incorporate: a) Knowledge and competencies associated with tobacco and nicotine biochemistry, nicotine addiction, tobacco-related disparities, and tobacco use and dependence treatment as a permanent interdisciplinary, longitudinal thread from the basic to clinical sciences in the BS/MD curriculum; b) Knowledge and competencies associated with tobacco-related disparities and the evidence-based treatment of tobacco dependence as a permanent, required element of the Physician Assistant (PA) curriculum and the Certified Addiction Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) curriculum, and d) lessons learned into a competitive R25 grant application to support the development of a tobacco-disparities research Institutional Curriculum Development Project that will provide ongoing research training in and dissemination of tobacco disparities research to the CCNY, MSK, and broader NYC communities. This R25 project will develop and test a model for developing the capacity to address tobacco-related cancer disparities that can be replicated elsewhere. Meeting the TREND Partnership objectives will have a sustained and powerful impact on our shared capacity to conduct cancer disparities research, research training, and education as well as a significant impact on the current knowledge base relative to understanding and addressing tobacco disparities.
