Population Science and Cancer Control Scientific Program

Harold C.西蒙斯癌症中心 人口科学与癌症控制科学计划 项目总结/摘要 2009年申请的一个发展中的研究项目，人口科学和癌症控制（PS） 科学计划的同行评审资金大幅增长，从不到50万美元增加到2010年的560万美元。 2013.其中，250万美元来自NCI，150万美元来自NIH其他部门， 医疗保健研究和质量机构（AHRQ）提供了近100万美元的资金。全面预防和 德克萨斯州癌症预防和研究所（CPRIT）的筛查项目目前总计2.4美元 万 计划内的合作很强，占计划2013年出版物的44%; 13%是 跨方案。计划成员每季度开会更新和研究报告，主题是- 每两个月举行一次重点工作进展会议。我们的大集水区是达拉斯英尺。值得统计 大都市地区，特别关注由帕克兰健康中心照顾的无保险的达拉斯县居民 医院系统。因此，该计划重点关注癌症差异，并进行研究 在大量传统上得不到充分服务的人中。为了满足这一集水区的需求， PS程序的功能沿着以下主题： 主题1：癌症预防研究包括生物标志物和行为研究 1.a.结肠癌和肝细胞癌的生物标志物 1.b.风险防范行为 主题2：结肠癌、肝细胞癌和食管癌的早期筛查 2.a.基于人群的结肠癌筛查 2.b.肝细胞癌筛查 2.c.食管癌的早期诊断 主题3：生存（发展） 我们专注于计划性赠款，允许在护理过程中发现， 转化为我们流域卫生系统的改善护理。24名成员中有16名已被招募 到达拉斯，因为共同领导人博士的到来。 临床科学在混合方法，地理空间，生物医学和多层次方面具有强大而多样的技能 研究;精神病学系的心理学家;医学系的五位医学博士， 临床流行病学和卫生服务研究方面的专业知识;以及四名癌症相关健康博士 推广和流行病学在公共卫生的达拉斯校园UT学校。

Harold C. Simmons Cancer Center Population Science and Cancer Control Scientific Program Project Summary/Abstract A developing research program in the 2009 application, the Population Science and Cancer Control (PS) Scientific Program has grown substantially in peer-reviewed funding from less than $500,000 to $5.6 million in 2013. Of that amount, $2.5 million represents funding from the NCI, $1.5 million from other NIH divisions, and close to $1 million from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Total prevention and screening projects from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) currently totals $2.4 million. Intra-programmatic collaborations are strong, representing 44% of the Program's 2013 publications; 13% are inter-programmatic. Program members meet quarterly for updates and research presentations, with topic- focused bi-monthly works-in-progress sessions. Our large catchment area is the Dallas-Ft. Worth statistical metropolitan area, with a special focus on uninsured Dallas county residents cared for by the Parkland Health and Hospital System . Thus, the program has a heavy focus on cancer disparities and conducts research among large numbers of traditionally underserved individuals. To address the needs of this catchment area, the PS Program functions along the following themes: Theme 1: Cancer prevention research includes study of biomarkers and behaviors 1.a. Biomarkers for colon and hepatocellular cancers 1.b. Risk prevention behaviors Theme 2: Screening for early detection of colon, hepatocellular, and esophageal cancers 2.a. Population-based screening for colon cancer 2.b. Screening for hepatocellular cancer 2.c. Screening for esophageal cancer Theme 3: Survivorship (Developing) We have focused on programmatic grants allowing for discoveries across processes of care that can be translated into improved care in our catchments' health systems. Sixteen of 24 members have been recruited to Dallas since the arrival of Co-Leader Dr. Celette Sugg Skinner in 2007: six PhDs in the Department of Clinical Sciences with strong and diverse skills in mixed-methods, geo-spatial, biomedical, and multi-level research; a psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry; five MDs in the Department of Medicine with expertise in clinical epidemiology and health services research; and four PhDs in cancer-related health promotion and epidemiology in the UT School of Public Health's Dallas Campus.
