Administrative Core

堪萨斯社区癌症差异网络(KCCDN)将由堪萨斯大学医学中心运行，并将在地区Al/拉丁裔社区执行中心指导委员会的领导下进行行政管理。作为整体中心的PI，Greiner博士拥有丰富的经验，可以平衡KUMC作为一个机构的需求和关切，并保持对当地社区的完整性和忠诚度 需要。他有用基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)方法指导重大干预项目的经验，作为堪萨斯州最贫穷县(怀安多特县)的县医务官员，他精通于平衡紧迫的社区健康和医疗保健需求与学术关切。Greiner博士最近被要求领导KUMC心脏地带的社区健康伙伴关系(CPH)计划 KUMC临床与转化科学奖(CTSA)规划基金是两年前从KUMC临床与转化科学奖(CTSA)规划拨款中脱颖而出的一个实体，今年夏天，Greiner博士与KUMC的六名高级研究人员合作，起草了一份完整的CTSA提案，并启动了机构HICTR活动。因此，Greiner博士将领导所有机构努力，通过CPH计划协调翻译研究社区参与活动。Greiner博士在KUMC不断扩大的角色只会加强KCCDN的地位，同时确保中心满足农村Al和拉丁裔社区的需求。

The Kansas Communities Cancer Disparities Network (KCCDN) will be run out of the University of Kansas Medical Center and will be administratively under the direction of a regional Al/Latino Community Executive Center Steering Committee. Dr. Greiner, as PI for the overall Center, has extensive experience balancing the needs and concerns of KUMC as an institution and maintaining integrity and allegiance to local communities of need. He has experience directing major intervention projects with community-based participatory research (CBPR) methodologies and as the county Medical Officer in Kansas' poorest county (Wyandotte), he is well versed in balancing urgent community health and health care needs and academic concerns. Dr. Greiner was recently asked to head the Community Partnership for Health (CPH) program within the KUMC Heartland Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (HICTR), an entity tjuilt out of a KUMC Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) planning grant received two years ago, Dr. Greiner worked this summer with a group of six senior researchers at KUMC to write a full CTSA proposal and launch institutional HICTR activities. Thus, Dr. Greiner will be leading all institutional efforts to coordinate translational research community engagement activities through the CPH program. Dr. Greiner's expanding role at KUMC will only strengthen the position of the KCCDN while assuring the Center meets the needs of the rural Al and Latino communities that it serves.
