CDU-UCLA Cancer Center Partnership to Eliminate Cancer Health Disparities

描述（由申请人提供）：查尔斯R。德鲁大学（CDU）和加州大学洛杉矶分校琼森综合癌症中心已经建立了一个强大的和可持续的伙伴关系，以“消除少数民族和服务不足人群的癌症健康差异”。我们的合作关系始于2003年，在美国国家癌症研究所的支持下启动了U 56合作，随后在2009年获得了U 54奖，建立了长期持久的全面合作伙伴关系。此外，UCLA-JCCC和CDU的机构投资使可持续的伙伴关系成为可能，以实现与减少癌症健康差距有关的重大目标。 因此，在我们的续约申请中，我们建议继续保持这一势头，并采取更多措施来解决洛杉矶县，特别是南洛杉矶社区的癌症健康差距。CDU-UCLA癌症合作计划的总体目标是显着增加癌症研究的科学家数量，并提高查尔斯·德鲁医学与科学大学的癌症研究和基础设施能力，这将继续解决少数民族人口中癌症的显着差异。由行政核心、规划和评估核心、研究项目、研究教育核心、外展核心和共享资源核心支持和实施。该伙伴关系的五个优先事项是：优先事项1：通过支持全面和试点项目，增加CDU癌症研究项目的数量和质量，并增加CDU癌症研究人员的数量。优先事项2：加强CDU的综合临床和生物标志物/生物储存组织和数据资源的研究能力，重点是在代表性不足的人群中进行癌症健康差异研究、教育和推广。优先事项3：通过利用社区和现有的临床研究设施和资源，在CDU建立进行癌症相关临床试验的机构能力。优先事项4：暴露本科生和医学生，研究员和教师的癌症研究，并鼓励他们追求或推进自己的职业生涯在这一领域，并实施正式的导师计划，使初级研究调查人员在他们的职业发展过程中得到辅导和指导。优先事项5：将文化和语言上适当的癌症研究信息带给社区，并通过社区合作的参与性研究，提高社区制定和实施文化上适当的健康预防战略的能力。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Charles R. Drew University (CDU) and the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has forged a strong and sustainable partnership to "Eliminate Cancer Health Disparities in minority and underserved populations". Our partnership began in 2003 with support from the National Cancer Institute to initiate U56 collaboration, followed by a U54 award in 2009 to establish a long lasting comprehensive partnership. In addition, institutional investment from UCLA-JCCC and CDU has made it possible for a sustainable partnership to accomplish significant goals related to reducing cancer health disparities. Hence, in our renewal application, we propose to continue the momentum and do more to address cancer health disparities in our communities in Los Angeles County, and in particular South Los Angeles. The overarching goals of the CDU-UCLA Cancer Partnership Program are to significantly increase the number of scientists in cancer research and to enhance the cancer research and infrastructure capacity at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science that will continue to address significant disparities in cancer among minority populations. Supported and implemented by an Administrative Core, Planning and Evaluation Core, and Research Projects, Research Education Core, Outreach Core, and Shared Resources Core. The five priorities for the partnership are: Priority 1: Increase the number and quality of cancer research projects at CDU by supporting full and pilot projects and increase the number of cancer researchers at CDU. Priority 2: Enhance research capability of the CDU's Integrated Clinical and Biomarker/ Biorepository Tissue and Data Resources focused on cancer health disparities research, education and outreach among underrepresented populations. Priority 3: Create institutional capacity at CDU for performing cancer-related clinical trials by leveraging the community and existing clinical research facilities and resources. Priority 4: Expose undergraduate and medical students, fellows, and faculty to cancer research and encourage them to pursue or advance their careers in this area, and implement a formalized mentorship program whereby junior research investigators are counseled and mentored during their career development. Priority 5: Bring culturally and linguistically appropriate cancer research information to the community and increase community capacity to develop and implement culturally appropriate health prevention strategies through community-partnered participatory research.
