Partnership to Increase Hispanic Cancer Research for Co*

描述：(申请人？S描述)这项名为“合作增加科罗拉多州拉美裔癌症研究”的提案是一项旨在减少科罗拉多州拉美裔社区在癌症、癌症控制和预防活动方面差异的伙伴关系方法。科罗拉多大学综合癌症中心(UCCCC)和南科罗拉多大学(USC)(西班牙裔服务机构)将共同努力，加强社区癌症教育，增加寻求癌症研究事业的合格本科生和毕业生队伍，并与UCCCC的科学家合作，建立在南加州大学开展的癌症研究项目。 这项申请的目标是在这两个机构之间发展可持续的合作伙伴关系，为正在进行的癌症研究和癌症教育创造一个基础设施。UCCCC和USC之间的这一长期合作计划有四个具体目标：1)增加USC对癌症相关研究的参与；2)通过USC在科罗拉多州拉美裔美国人癌症培训/教育方面的伙伴关系，提高UCCCC的有效性；3)在UCCCC和USC之间开展由NCI资助的癌症生物学和癌症预防合作研究；以及4)通过加强研究专业知识和癌症，对科罗拉多州拉美裔美国人的癌症问题产生积极影响 这两所学校的教育项目。我们的目标将通过南加州大学和UCCCC的联合合作来实现，以实现以下五个具体目标： 1)在南加州大学制定和实施癌症研究试点计划； 2)通过教师学术交流，保持南加州大学和UCCCC之间的学术互动 在两个方向上； 3)在南加州大学开展大学前癌症生物科学外展教育项目； 4)扩大南加州大学已经成功的大学前生物科学教育推广计划，将癌症重点纳入其中，有效地支持拉美裔学生到两所大学的教育渠道；以及 5)在肿瘤学、职业发展和肿瘤学学术讨论会方面，将南加州大学护理系的课程扩展到南加州大学护理系。 在这项提议的过程中，将制定试点研究项目。这些项目将在南加州大学与UCCCC合作进行，包括对特定领域的附着和转移、环境污染以及乳腺癌和前列腺癌的病因的研究，以及对p53基因突变的分析。这些项目将有助于通过在两所学院的教员之间建立合作，增加南加州大学对癌症相关研究的参与，并因此为南加州大学的西班牙裔本科生和研究生提供癌症研究领域的培训。为此，我们建议建立正式的临床伙伴关系，以增加少数族裔科学家的培训机会，并建立正式的学术伙伴关系，以促进试验计划的规划和进行。这一正式伙伴关系的一部分将涉及扩大本科生肿瘤学护理研究和教育，并合作开发研究生护理项目，重点是农村地区的肿瘤学护理教育。该项目的结果对参与合作的机构和社区都有积极的影响，但 另外。此外，更重要的是，通过我们加强癌症研究、教育和临床实践的合作努力，它有可能影响科罗拉多州的癌症发病率和结果。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant?s Description) This proposal titled "Partnership to Increase Hispanic Cancer Research for Colorado", is a partnership approach to reduce the disparities of cancer, cancer control, and prevention activities in the Hispanic community across Colorado. The University of Colorado Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCCCC) and the University of Southern Colorado (USC) an Hispanic Serving Institution) will work in collaboration to increase community education of cancer, increase the pool of qualified undergraduates and graduates pursuing a career in cancer research and establish cancer research projects conducted at USC in collaboration with scientists at UCCCC. The goal of this application is to develop a sustainable partnership between the two institutions creating an infrastructure for ongoing cancer research and cancer education. There are four specific objectives of this long-term collaborative program between the UCCCC and USC: 1) To increase the participation of USC in research relevant to cancer; 2) To increase the effectiveness of the UCCCC via the USC partnership in cancer training/education for Hispanics in Colorado; 3) To develop NCI-funded collaborative research between the faculty of the UCCCC and USC in cancer biology and cancer prevention; and 4) To positively impact the cancer problem among Hispanics in Colorado by strengthening the research expertise and cancer educational programs at both institutions. Our objectives will be met by joint USC-UCCCC collaborations to achieve the following five specific aims: 1) Develop and implement a cancer research pilot program at USC; 2) Sustain academic interactions between USC and UCCCC via academic exchanges of faculty in both directions; 3) Develop a pre-collegiate cancer biosciences outreach educational program at USC; 4) Expand the already successful pre-collegiate biosciences educational outreach programs at USC to include a cancer focus effectively supporting the educational pipeline of Hispanic students to both institutions; and 5) Expand the curricula of the to the USC Nursing Department in terms of graduate offerings in the area of oncology, career development, and oncology colloquiums. During the course of this proposal pilot research projects will be developed. These projects will be conducted at USC in collaboration with UCCCC and include research in the specific areas of attachment and metastasis, environmental contaminants and the etiology of breast and prostate cancer, and analysis of the p53 gene mutation. These projects will serve to increase the participation of USC in research relevant to cancer by establishing collaborations between faculty of both institutions and, as a result, provide training in the area of cancer research for Hispanic undergraduate and graduate students attending USC. To accomplish this, we propose to establish formal clinical partnerships to enhance training opportunities for minority scientists and to establish formal academic partnerships to facilitate planning and pursuit of pilot projects. Part of this formal partnership will involve the expansion of undergraduate oncology nursing research and education and the collaborative development of a post-graduate nursing program with an emphasis in oncology nursing education in a rural setting. The outcome of the project with have a positive impact on both the institutions and communities involved in the collaboration but additionally. Additionally, and more importantly, it has potential to impact cancer incidence and outcomes within Colorado through our increased collaborative cancer research, education and clinical practice endeavors.
