Comprehensive SDSU-UCSD Cancer Center Partnership (2 of 2)

圣地亚哥州立大学(SDSU)和加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)有着悠久的合作历史，包括旨在增进不同社区福祉的研究、联合研究生项目和外展项目。位于该国种族最多元化的地区之一，项目和方案侧重于一系列传统上服务不足的社区。合作伙伴关系规划进程为成功实施全面伙伴关系建立了关键基础设施。建立了新的模范研究、培训和外联机构间合作。这些举措被证明是非常富有成效的努力，以以前不可能实现的方式解决癌症差异问题。 SDSU-UCSD癌症全面伙伴关系的总体目标是在迄今进展的基础上，加强SDSU的癌症研究和研究培训；提高UCSD癌症中心(UCSD-CC)在与少数族裔相关的研究、研究培训和职业发展方面的有效性；以及继续发展将对消除癌症差异产生影响的有效研究、教育和推广计划。具体目标是：(1)促进与服务不足的民族社区相关的癌症研究知识体系；(2)在癌症研究方面教育和培训有前途的少数族裔科学家；(3)增加从事与文化相关的癌症研究以及社区推广和教育的教职员工、科学家和学生的数量；以及(4)扩大社区教育和推广计划，并将这些计划整合到研究中。 为实现这些目标，私人投资机构和地方咨询委员会将继续密切合作，确定优先事项并促进新的合作。该伙伴关系建立在机构领导人的明确承诺和承诺的计划指导委员会(PSC)的稳步指导基础上。最初，总共三个(一个试点和两个完整的)研究项目、一个完整的培训计划和一个癌症差异社区伙伴和研究资源将通过发展基金得到支持。我们迄今取得的成功表明，发展基金的支助将产生具有竞争力的出版物和赠款申请，以支持伙伴关系的目标。

San Diego State University (SDSU) and the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) share a long history of collaboration that includes research, joint graduate programs, and outreach programs designed to enhance the well-being of diverse communities. Located in one of the most ethnically diverse regions of the country, projects and programs have focused on a wide array of traditionally underserved communities. The collaborative Partnership planning process has built critical infrastructure to implement a successful Comprehensive Partnership. New exemplary research, training, and outreach inter-institutional collaborations have been established. These initiatives are demonstrating to be very productive efforts to address cancer disparities in ways that were not possible before. The overall goals of the Comprehensive SDSU-UCSD Cancer Partnership build on the progress to date and are to enhance cancer research and research training at SDSU; increase the effectiveness of the UCSD Cancer Center (UCSD-CC) in research, research training and career development related to minorities; and to continue the development of effective research, education, and outreach programs that will have an impact on the elimination of cancer disparities. The specific objectives are to: (1) Advance the body of knowledge in cancer research relevant to underserved ethnic communities; (2) Educate and train promising minority scientists in cancer research; (3) Increase the number of faculty, scientists, and students engaged in culturally relevant cancer research and community outreach and education; and (4) Expand community education and outreach programs and integrate these programs into the research. To achieve these objectives, PIs and the Local Advisory Committee (LAC) will continue to work closely together to establish priorities and to foster new collaborations. The Partnership builds on the unequivocal commitment of the Institutional leaders and the steady guidance of a committed Program Steering Committee (PSC). Initially, a total of three (one pilot and two full) research projects, one full training program, and a Cancer Disparities Community Partners and Research Resource will be supported through developmental funds. Our successes to date suggests that the developmental fund support will result in competitive publications and grant applications that will support the Partnership's goals.
