Partnership to Increase Hispanic Cancer Research for Co*

描述：（申请人？这份名为“增加科罗拉多西班牙裔癌症研究的伙伴关系”的提案是一种伙伴关系方法，旨在减少科罗拉多西班牙裔社区的癌症、癌症控制和预防活动的差异。科罗拉多大学综合癌症中心（UCCCC）和南科罗拉多大学（USC）（一个西班牙裔服务机构）将合作，以增加社区癌症教育，增加合格的本科生和研究生的人才库，并与UCCCC的科学家合作，建立在南加州大学进行的癌症研究项目。 该应用程序的目标是在两个机构之间建立可持续的伙伴关系，为正在进行的癌症研究和癌症教育建立基础设施。UCCCC和南加州大学之间的长期合作计划有四个具体目标：1）增加南加州大学在癌症相关研究中的参与; 2）通过南加州大学在科罗拉多西班牙裔癌症培训/教育方面的合作伙伴关系，提高UCCCC的有效性; 3）在UCCCC和南加州大学之间开展癌症生物学和癌症预防方面的NCI资助的合作研究;和4）通过加强研究专业知识和癌症，积极影响科罗拉多西班牙裔美国人的癌症问题 两个机构的教育项目。我们的目标将通过USC-UCCCC联合合作来实现，以实现以下五个具体目标： 1)在南加州大学开发和实施癌症研究试点计划; 2)通过教师的学术交流，维持南加州大学和UCCCC之间的学术互动 两个方向; 3)在南加州大学发展大学前癌症生物科学外展教育计划; 4)扩大南加州大学已经成功的大学预科生物科学教育外展计划，包括癌症重点，有效地支持西班牙裔学生到这两个机构的教育管道; 5)扩大南加州大学护理系在肿瘤学，职业发展和肿瘤学座谈会领域的研究生课程。 在执行本提案期间，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，包括在附着和转移，环境污染物和乳腺癌和前列腺癌的病因学，以及p53基因突变分析的特定领域的研究。这些项目将有助于通过建立两个机构的教师之间的合作，增加南加州大学在癌症相关研究中的参与，因此，为参加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。为了实现这一目标，我们建议建立正式的临床合作伙伴关系，以增加少数民族科学家的培训机会，并建立正式的学术合作伙伴关系，以促进试点项目的规划和追求。这种正式的合作伙伴关系的一部分将涉及本科肿瘤护理研究和教育的扩大和研究生护理计划的合作发展，重点是在农村环境中的肿瘤护理教育。该项目的成果对参与合作的机构和社区产生了积极影响， 另外。此外，更重要的是，它有可能影响癌症的发病率和结果在科罗拉多通过我们增加合作癌症研究，教育和临床实践的努力。

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.
