Piedmont Alliance for Cancer Research and Education

描述：(申请人？S描述)在少数民族人群中，癌症发病率和死亡率高得不成比例。由于缺乏独立资助的少数群体研究人员，他们能够将适当的文化视角带到以少数群体患者和人口为重点的研究中，改善这一情况的努力受到了阻碍。虽然NCL指定的癌症中心有旨在降低癌症发病率和死亡率的强大研究项目，但很少有中心专注于培训少数族裔科学家和合作 有少数族裔人口。少数群体服务机构(MSI)开展高质量的少数群体教育项目，并拥有在少数群体中开展高质量癌症研究所需的具有适当文化敏感性和视角的人才来源。因此，NCI指定的癌症中心和MSI之间的合作伙伴关系有可能影响这些人群的癌症发病率和死亡率。 本申请建议建立皮埃蒙特癌症研究和教育联盟(PACRE)，这是国家癌症研究所指定的癌症中心、维克森林大学综合癌症中心(CCCWFU)和微星学会温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学(WSSU)之间的长期合作伙伴关系，以开展必要的活动，以建立一个结构，以： 1)制定战略，促进少数群体调查员和受训人员的职业发展和研究培训； 2)促进WSSU和CCCWFU的调查人员和受训人员之间的互动和合作； 3)协助妇联争取更多的社区少数群体的支持和伙伴关系； 4)培育新的协作试点项目，并帮助WSSU推进未来NCI、NIH和国防部拨款申请的试点资金； 5)增加对这两个机构的少数族裔研究人员的拨款申请和外部资助；以及 6)评估这些努力的结果，以便用于开发全面的伙伴关系应用程序。 因此，这项规划赠款的活动将加强CCCWFU和WSSU之间的合作伙伴关系。这项正式的伙伴关系赠款将极大地促进我们减少癌症发病率和死亡率负担的工作。在我们地区的少数族裔人口中，非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和土著美国人。此外，这两个机构都建立了机制，以促进通过该方案开展的活动制度化，从而确保拟议方案的持久性。

DESCRIPTION: (Applicant?s Description) Cancer incidence and mortality rates are disproportionately higher among minority populations. Efforts to improve this picture have been hampered by the lack of independently-funded minority researchers who can bring the appropriate cultural perspective to research focusing on minority patients and populations. While NCl-designated cancer centers have strong research programs designed to reduce cancer incidence and mortality, few centers focus on training minority scientists and partnering with minority populations. Minority-serving institutions (MSIs) conduct high quality programs for educating minorities and have a source of talent with appropriate cultural sensitivity and perspective needed to conduct high-quality cancer research in minority populations. Thus, partnerships between NCI-designated cancer centers and MSIs have the potential to impact cancer incidence and mortality rates in these populations. This application proposes to establish the Piedmont Alliance for Cancer Research and Education (PACRE) a long-term partnership between an NCI-designated cancer center, the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University (CCCWFU) and an MSI, Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), in order to conduct activities needed to develop a structure to: 1) Develop strategies to facilitate career development and research training for minority investigators and trainees; 2) Foster interaction and collaboration between investigators and trainees at WSSU and the CCCWFU; 3) Assist the CCCWFU in gaining increased support among and partnering with minority populations in the community; 4) Foster new collaborative pilot projects and help WSSU move forward with pilot funds for future NCI, NIH, and DOD grant applications; 5) Increase grant submissions and extramural funding for minority researchers from both institutions; and 6) Evaluate the results of these efforts for use in developing a comprehensive partnership application. The activities of this planning grant will thus strengthen the collaborative partnership between the CCCWFU and WSSU. This formal partnership grant will greatly facilitate our work to reduce the burden of cancer incidence and mortality. Among minority populations, African-American, Hispanic and Native American, in our region. In addition, both institutions have mechanisms in place to facilitate the institutionalization of the activities achieved through this program, thus, ensuring the durability of the proposed program.
