2/2 SDSU/UCSD Cancer Center Comprehensive Partnership

描述（由申请人提供）总体摘要：本申请寻求资金继续支持SDSU/UCSD综合癌症中心合作伙伴关系。我们的愿景，与健康公平（CPACHE）计划的全面合作伙伴关系的一致，是继续在研究，研究教育和社区推广方面制定优秀的计划，以了解和解决我们的圣地亚哥和帝国县，一个拥有大量和不断增长的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口的集水区癌症健康差距的原因。随着这一人群的老龄化，癌症病例的数量预计会增加。解决在研究，教育和医疗保健提供在这个种族群体的现有差距是我们的合作伙伴关系，它利用了圣地亚哥州立大学（SDSU），一个正式指定的西班牙裔服务机构，和加州（UCSD）摩尔斯癌症中心（MCC），一个NCI-designated癌症中心的大学th独特而互补的优势和资源的高度优先事项。我们的合作伙伴关系的目标是减少癌症的负担西班牙裔/拉丁裔社区在我们的集水区。我们通过建立研究和研究教育能力，并通过继续改善我们地区服务不足的社区的推广和教育，特别强调西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人来实现这一目标。PI代表了一个由经验丰富的研究人员和各自领域的学术领导人组成的杰出的多学科团队。与CPACHE计划的总体目标一致，并利用SDSU和UCSD独特和互补的资源，我们建立了一支优秀的科学和领导团队。两位人口科学家（E. Martinez和E.阿雷东多），一个医生科学家（博士S。Crowe）和一位基础科学家（M。Sussman）是一个出色的协同科学团队。该应用程序包括两个完整的和一个试点项目，它们被选为他们强大的假设驱动的研究，旨在提高研究能力在SDSU和增加癌症差异研究在UCSD。这是一个新的研究教育计划的补充，旨在提供癌症和癌症差异的研究经验，从代表性不足的群体谁将主要是西班牙裔/拉丁裔的本科生。最后，外展核心涉及一个独特的三位一体的伙伴关系，其中包括MCC，SDSU和联邦合格的社区卫生中心，为大都市地区和沿着美国的大多数未投保和医疗补助保险的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人提供服务。墨西哥边境。该伙伴关系具有强有力的机构承诺、全面的规划和评估计划，以及杰出的内部咨询委员会和一流的方案指导委员会的指导。我们的伙伴关系继续存在是有充分理由的，因为它已经并将继续在癌症研究，研究教育和社区外展方面提供独特，重要和有影响力的计划。总的来说，新的PI领导层开发了一个强大的更新应用程序，满足NCI U 54 PACHE计划的所有目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) OVERALL ABSTRACT: This application seeks funding to continue to support the SDSU/UCSD Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership. Our vision, consistent with that of the Comprehensive Partnership for the Advancement of Health Equity (CPACHE) program, is to continue to develop outstanding programs in research, research education, and community outreach in order to understand and address causes for cancer health disparities in our catchment areas of San Diego and Imperial counties, a region with a large and growing Hispanic/Latino population. As this population ages, the number of cancer cases is expected to grow. Addressing the existing gaps in research, education, and health care delivery in this ethnic group is a high priority of our Partnership, which leverages th distinct yet complementary strengths and resources of San Diego State University (SDSU), an officially designated Hispanic Serving Institution, and the University of California (UCSD) Moores Cancer Center (MCC), an NCI-designated Cancer Center. The goal of our Partnership is to reduce the burden of cancer among Hispanic/Latino communities in our catchment area. We accomplish this by building research and research education capacity and by continuing to improve outreach and education to underserved communities in our area, with a special emphasis on Hispanic/Latinos. The PIs represent an outstanding multidisciplinary team of experienced researchers and academic leaders in their own areas. Consistent with the overall goals of the CPACHE program and taking advantage of unique and complementary resources at SDSU and UCSD, we have established an outstanding scientific and leadership team. The complement of two population scientists (Drs. E. Martinez and E. Arredondo), a physician scientist (Dr. S. Crowe), and a basic scientist (Dr. M. Sussman) makes for an outstanding synergistic scientific team. The application includes two Full and one Pilot Project which were selected for their strong hypothesis-driven research aimed at enhancing research capacity at SDSU and increasing cancer disparities research at UCSD. This is complemented by a new Research Education program aimed at providing research experience in cancer and cancer disparities to undergraduate students from underrepresented groups who will be largely Hispanic/Latino. Finally, the Outreach Core involves a unique triad partnership that includes the MCC, SDSU, and federally qualified community health centers that serve the majority of uninsured and Medicaid insured Hispanic/Latinos in a large metropolitan area and along the U.S.-Mexico border. The Partnership has strong institutional commitment, a comprehensive planning and evaluation plan, and the guidance of an outstanding Internal Advisory Board and a stellar Program Steering Committee. There is sound rationale for the continuation of our Partnership as it has and will continue to provide unique, significant, and impactful programs in cancer research, research education, and community outreach. Taken together, the new PI leadership has developed a strong renewal application that meets all the goals of the NCI U54 PACHE program.
