The CCNY/MSKCC Partnership for Research, Training and Outreach

这份提案描述了我们建立纽约城市学院/纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心(U54)癌症研究、培训和社区外展伙伴关系的计划。我们为我们的伙伴关系确定了五个重点目标。第一个目标是继续开发细胞生物学、免疫学和生物医学工程方面的转化研究计划。我们的申请包括一个完整的研究项目和六个试点研究项目。这些项目 强调这一目标。第二个目标是扩大和巩固在癌症差异方面的多学科和跨学科研究的合作计划。在包括在内的六个试点项目中，有两个试点项目解决了这一目标。我们的第三个目标是调动伙伴关系资源，以创新的方式与不同的社区合作，定义和解决 在地方一级的癌症差异，并指出更广泛的解决办法，可以传播和测试在未来的研究。我们建议的PCOP将提供一个基础设施，与社区利益攸关方合作，系统地确定可能的行动途径并确定其优先顺序。PCOP将参与“触手可及”和外联活动，将资源带到服务不足的社区。我们的第四个目标是通过积极招聘、增加教育和培训机会以及增加指导和支持来吸引和留住对癌症研究感兴趣的学生，特别是少数族裔学生。我们正在扩大对法院计划的支持，以实现有系统地招收本科生、扩大课程设置、指导安置和职业指导。研究生培养计划也包括在我们的发展中 核心。我们的第五个目标是扩大和整合科学合作所需的人员、资源和环境。该伙伴关系将在CCNY和MSKCC招聘新的教职员工。U54资源将帮助支持MSKCC主要CCNY部门的任命，教职员工队伍将增加我们进行基于社区的干预研究和PCOP发展的能力。我们的机构继续探索新的方法，将我们互补的优势和资源结合起来，以解决科学问题，提供独特的培训机会，并应对健康差距的挑战。

This proposal describes our plans to establish the City College of New York/Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (U54) Partnership for Cancer Research, Training and Community Outreach. We have established five focused objectives for our Partnership. The first objective is to continue to develop programs of translational research in cell biology, immunology, and biomedical engineering. One full research project and six pilot research projects are included in our application. These projects emphasize this aim. The second objective is to expand and consolidate collaborative programs of multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research in cancer disparities. Of the six pilot projects included, two pilot projects address this objective. Our third objective is to mobilize Partnership resources to collaborate with diverse communities in innovative ways, to define and address cancer disparities at the local level, and to point the way to broader solutions that may be disseminated and tested in future research. Our proposed PCOP will provide an infrastructure to work with community stakeholders to systematically identify and prioritize possible avenues for action. PCOP will be involved with "in-reach" as well as outreach to bring resources to underserved communities. Our fourth objective is to attract and retain students interested in cancer research, and in particular minority students, through active recruitment, enhanced education and training opportunities, and increased mentorship and support. We are expanding support for the COURT Program to enable systematic recruitment of undergraduate students, expanded course offerings, mentored placements, and career guidance. A Graduate Student Training Plan is also included in our Developmental Core. Our fifth objective is to expand and integrate the personnel, resources, and environment needed for scientific collaboration. The Partnership will recruit new faculty members at both CCNY and MSKCC. U54 resources will help to support appointments in key CCNY divisions At MSKCC, faculty lines will add to our capacity to conduct community-based intervention research and the development of the PCOP. Our institutions continue to discover new ways to combine our complementary strengths and resources to address scientific problems, provide unique training opportunities, and meet the challenges of health disparities.
