Project Summary/Abstract Cancer incidence is significantly increasing in many sub-Saharan Africa countries necessitating a shift in training and research to address this growing problem. Years ago Ghana recognized this problem and identified cancer sites for prioritization for both research and clinical care in their National Cancer Control Plan. These cancers include breast (BCa), cervical (CxCa), head and neck (HNCa) and prostate cancer (PCa). To address the goals set forth in the national cancer plan Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) faculty have been collaborating with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital within the University of Ghana (UG), and the Ghana College of Physician and Surgeons (GCPS) for the past five years to build collaborative research and cancer clinical care capacity. This work started initially with a focus on PCa and HNCa, two cancers of common concern and interest, as the incidence and mortality associated with these cancers disproportionally affects Ghanaians and US African Americans. Recognizing the need to expand research to BCa and CxCa in Ghana the MCC-Ghana collaboration is poised to expand efforts to these two additional cancers and to expand existing research and training collaborations to create a comprehensive and structured program with greater depth and breadth. We propose to expand the existing list of collaborating institutions in Ghana to include the University of Ghana Medical School (UGMS), School of Public Health (UGSPH), and Nursing School. In addition, we plan to adapt a comprehensive cancer research training program developed as part of a completed Fogarty D43 Morocco grant, to accelerate the implementation of cancer research training in Ghana. The overall goal of this proposal is to develop a new generation of multidisciplinary global health cancer researchers at MCC and UG by implementing programs that will strengthen and expand institutional capacity to broadly conduct cancer research - Ghana IntegRative Approach to Cancer ResEarch Training: The GRACE Program. Specifically, we propose the following: 1. Build and implement cancer research training and capacity (Lectures and Workshops and an Applied Research Experience); 2. Fund Team-Science Research, and; 3. Transfer and sustain the Ghana cancer research training program. At the end of five years we will have trained a new generation of fellows and junior faculty (~125-150) and embedded into the Ghana medical education system a sustainable cancer research training program to support continued cancer research growth in Ghana. The proposed training program will advance research among physician scientists practicing oncology and recruit talented professionals from related health fields to conduct cancer research, thereby rapidly expanding cancer research in Ghana. By engaging those from multiple disciplines, the proposed program will strengthen Ghana’s existing national and multidisciplinary cancer-specific research teams. Ultimately, our goal is to have this training program serve as a bridge between academic, policy makers, and public health communities.

项目摘要/摘要 许多撒哈拉以南非洲国家的癌症发病率大大增加 培训和研究以解决这个日益增长的问题。几年前，加纳认识到这个问题， 在其国家癌症控制计划中确定了用于研究和临床护理的癌症部位。 这些癌症包括乳房（BCA），宫颈（CXCA），头部和颈部（HNCA）和前列腺癌（PCA）。到 解决国家癌症计划莫菲特癌症中心（MCC）教师的目标 与加纳大学（UG）的Korle-Bu教学医院和加纳学院合作 过去五年来，医师和外科医生（GCP）建立合作研究和癌症临床 护理能力。最初，这项工作的重点是PCA和HNCA，这是两个共同关注的癌症， 兴趣，因为与这些癌症相关的事件和死亡率不成比例地影响加纳人和 美国非裔美国人。认识到需要将研究扩展到加纳MCC-Ghana的BCA和CXCA 合作被毒死以扩大这两种癌症的努力，并扩大现有研究和 培训合作，创建一个具有更大深度和广度的全面结构化计划。我们 提议扩大加纳现有合作机构的现有清单，包括加纳大学 医学院（UGMS），公共卫生学院（UGSPH）和护理学校。此外，我们计划适应 作为完整的Fogarty D43摩洛哥制定的全面癌症研究培训计划 格兰特（Grant），加快加纳癌症研究培训的实施。该提议的总体目标 是为了开发新一代的MCC和UG的多学科全球健康癌症研究人员 实施将加强和扩大机构能力以广泛进行癌症的计划 研究 - 癌症研究培训的加纳综合方法：恩典计划。具体来说，我们 提案以下：1。建立和实施癌症研究培训和能力（讲座和讲习班 和应用研究经验）； 2。基金团队科学研究，以及； 3。转移和维持 加纳癌症研究培训计划。在五年结束时，我们将培训新一代 研究员和初级教师（〜125-150），并嵌入加纳医学教育系统 癌症研究培训计划，以支持加纳持续的癌症研究增长。拟议的培训 计划将在实践肿瘤学并招募的物理科学家之间进行研究 从相关健康领域进行癌症研究的专业人员，从而迅速扩大癌症研究 在加纳。通过与来自多个学科的人互动，拟议的计划将加强加纳的现有计划 国家和多学科特定的研究团队。最终，我们的目标是接受这项培训 计划是学术，政策制定者和公共卫生社区之间的桥梁。
