U Mass Boston / DFHCC U54 Partnership (1 of 2)

描述(由申请人提供)：本意见书是对CAI0-503减少癌症健康差距全面伙伴关系的回应。这份由Dana-Farber/哈佛癌症中心及其合作伙伴UMassBoston提交的申请，描述了将成功的U56伙伴关系转变为U54伙伴关系的计划：从一开始，该伙伴关系就建立在强大的机构支持、领导层重要的个人承诺以及对成功伙伴关系将产生的机构利益的信念的基础上。我们伙伴关系的形成有两个关键原则：a)对解决癌症方面的种族、民族和社会经济差异问题有共同和强烈的兴趣；b)相信通过伙伴关系，每个伙伴都将获得任何一方都无法单独实现的好处。通过周密的规划，成熟、稳固和坚定的伙伴关系已经形成，这对两个机构都具有变革性。这项申请提供了广泛的证据，证明这些原则是如何运作的，以及由此产生的好处，这对两个机构合作伙伴来说都是实质性的。除了强大的管理和规划与评估核心，以及两个共享资源(培训核心和统计和调查方法核心)，该应用还包括代表基础、临床和人口科学的严谨和创新的科学，以及护理和健康差距方面的创新博士后培训计划。该伙伴关系得到了各机构领导人的强烈和热情的个人和机构支持。该伙伴关系具有良好的沟通、领导和评估，并由一个杰出的外部计划指导委员会指导。这一伙伴关系已做好充分准备，准备转向U54机制。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This submission is in response to CAI 0-503 Comprehensive Partnerships to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities. This application, submitted by the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center and its partner UMASS Boston, describes plans to transition the successful U56 Partnership to a U54: From Its Inception, the Partnership has been based on strong Institutional support, significant personal commitment of the leadership, and a belief in the institutional benefit that would be derived from a successful partnership. Two key tenets underlie the formation of our Partnership: a) a common and Intense Interest In addressing the problem of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in cancer; and b) a belief that through the partnership, each partner will achieve benefits that neither could achieve on Its own. Through careful planning, a mature, solid, and committed partnership has evolved which has been transformative for both Institutions. This application provides extensive evidence of the ways these tenets have been operationalized and the resulting benefits, which have been substantial for both institutional partners. In addition to robust Administrative and Planning & Evaluation Cores, and two shared resources (Training Core and Statistical and Survey Methods Core), the application includes rigorous and innovative science, representing basic, clinical, and population science, as well as an innovative post-doctoral training program In nursing and health disparities. The Partnership has strong and enthusiastic personal and Institutional support from the leaders of the respective institutions. The Partnership has well-established communication, leadership, and evaluation in place, and Is guided by an outstanding, external Program Steering Committee. This Partnership is fully prepared to move to the U54 mechanism.
