霍华德大学癌症中心(HUCC)和西德尼·基梅尔综合医院所服务的地区 约翰·霍普金斯大学(SKCCC)、马里兰州和哥伦比亚特区的癌症中心 癌症死亡率是美国50多年来最高的。这些地区的少数民族居民 已经不成比例地受到癌症的影响，癌症已经成为发病率和 马里兰州巴尔的摩和华盛顿特区非裔美国人的死亡率。为了解决这个问题， HUCC和SKCCC已经开始建立合作伙伴关系，以增加筛查方面的生产性研究， 与癌症有关的诊断、预防、治疗和支持性护理，特别是癌症 在非裔美国人中。迄今在HUCC/SKCCC伙伴关系中取得的成功， 前列腺癌，胃肠癌，乳腺癌等多个领域的研究进展， 已促使提交这一延期，以期获得资金以进一步加强这种伙伴关系 活动。这项赠款提案的主要目的是继续发展可持续的伙伴关系。 HUCC和SKCCC之间的合作，加强两者的研究、培训、教育和外联任务 机构。为了实现这一目标，HUCC/SKCCC伙伴关系将努力建立研究人员队伍 以及HUCC针对非裔美国人癌症的科学计划，以加强以人口为基础的 SKCCC涉及非裔美国人的癌症研究，以增加研究培训和 HUCC非裔美国癌症研究人员的职业发展，并改善教育和 SKCCC的外展项目重点关注非裔美国人的癌症发病率和死亡率。这个 提案寻求对3个完整研究项目、2个试点研究项目、2个试点培训/教育项目的支持 项目以及HUCC和SKCCC的核心基础设施。在请求的5年支持中， HUCC/SKCCC伙伴关系，因为这些初步研究和教育活动正在取得进展，以竞争 优先发展的自主资金、新项目、新方案、新资源 确定并得到支持。

The regions served by the Howard University Cancer Center (HUCC) and Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins (SKCCC), Maryland and the District of Columbia, have had among the highest cancer death rates in the United States for more than fifty years. Minority residents of these regions have been disproportionately affected by cancer, and cancer has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for African-Americans in both Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. To address this problem, HUCC and SKCCC have embarked on a partnership to increase productive research in screening, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and supportive care as it relates to cancer, with a special focus on cancer in African-Americans. The successes realized thus far in the HUCC/SKCCC Partnership, with collaborative research progress in several areas, including prostate cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, and breast cancer, has prompted the submission of this renewal in attempt to secure funds to further augment this partnerships activities. The major aim of this grant proposal is to continue the development of a sustainable partnership between HUCC and SKCCC that enhances the research, training, education, and outreach missions of both institutions. To accomplish this goal, the HUCC/SKCCC Partnership will work to build the research faculty and scientific programs at HUCC directed at cancer in African-Americans, to enhance population-based cancer studies at SKCCC involving African-Americans, to increase opportunities for research training and career development of African-American cancer researchers at HUCC, and to improve education and outreach programs at SKCCC focused on cancer morbidity and mortality among African-Americans. The proposal seeks support for 3 full research projects, 2 pilot research projects, 2 pilot training/educational programs, and core infrastructure at HUCC and SKCCC. Over the 5 years of support requested for the HUCC/SKCCC Partnership, as these initial research and educational activities progress to compete for independent funding, new projects, programs, and resources of high priority for development will be identified and supported.
