所提供的空间。 查尔斯·R·德鲁医学和科学大学(DRAW)是一所少数族裔院校(MSL/HBCU)，位于 洛杉矶中南部，正计划与世界著名的Jonsson综合癌症公司合作 加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)JCCC中心。与加州大学洛杉矶分校拟议的合作伙伴关系- JCCC提供了一个独特的机会，开始加强德鲁癌症的研究和培训 基础设施。相反，加州大学洛杉矶分校和JCCC的调查人员将有重要机会 有重点地解决与少数群体癌症负担不均有关的问题。这 伙伴关系将侧重于癌症研究、培训、教育和推广领域，并加强 德鲁和加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究组合通过发展和增强 调查人员将进行高质量的研究，敏感地减少种族/民族差距 处于健康状态。此申请描述了我们计划建立一个全面的、无缝的联合计划 癌症研究、培训和职业发展：1)将教职员工、研究员和学生整合到各种 癌症培训和职业发展方案；2)规划和启动试点项目；3)加强 DRAW组织资源库的研究能力。 该计划将在德鲁大学和加州大学洛杉矶分校招收有前途的学生、科学家和临床医生，进入 癌症研究、教育和治疗，并将这些人保留在DRAW/UCLA的联合计划中 癌症项目。同时，我们将增加癌症研究的少数族裔科学家人数， 治疗、教育和培训。我们的培训和职业发展计划将产生优秀的 对学术和文化敏感的学生、博士后研究员和教职员工。这些人将作为 我们的大使们致力于了解并因此减少我们服务不足和 社会经济上处于不利地位的人群。 鉴于洛杉矶和该州人口结构的快速变化 伙伴关系处于理想的位置，并将有机会产生积极的 I和少数群体和未得到服务的人群的生存。

SPACE PROVIDED. Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (DREW) a minority institution (MSL/HBCU) located in South Central Los Angeles, is planning a partnership with the world renowned Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). The proposed partnership with the UCLA- JCCC provides a unique opportunity to begin to strengthen the DREW cancer research and training infrastructure. Conversely, UCLA and the investigators in the JCCC will have the important opportunity to address, in a focused manner, issues related to the unequal burden of cancer in minority populations. This partnership will focus on the areas of cancer research, training, education and outreach, and strengthen the DREW and UCLA research portfolios through programs that develop and enhance the capacity of investigators to perform high quality research with sensitivity toward reducing racial/ethnic disparities in hcalth status. This application describes our plans to establish a comprehensive, seamless program of joint cancer research, training and career development by 1) integrating faculty, fellows, and students into various cancer training and career development programs; 2) planning and initiating pilot projects; and 3) enhancing research capability of the DREW Tissue Repository. This program will recruit promising students, scientists, and clinicians at DREW and UCLA into the field of cancer research, education and treatment, and to retain these individuals within the combined DREW/UCLA cancer program. At the same time, we will increase the number of minority scientists in cancer research, treatment, education and training. Our training and career development programs will produce outstanding academic and culturally sensitive students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty. These individuals will serve as our ambassadors toward understanding and therefore, reducing the burden of cancer in our underserved and sociocconomically disadvantaged populations. In view of the rapidly changing demographics of Los Angeles and the State Partnership is ideally situated and will have an opportunity to have a positive i and survival in minority and undcrserved populations.
