Morehouse School of Medicine/Tuskegee University/UAB Comp Cancer ctr Partnership

这项申请是为了继续与Wveen Morehouse医学院(MSM)、塔斯基吉大学(TU)和UAB综合癌症中心(UABCCC)现有的合作伙伴关系。该伙伴关系位于东南部的心脏地带，该地区拥有大量历史上服务不足的非裔美国人，其目标是在专注于癌症健康差异和减轻癌症负担的研究中取得卓越成就。所有三个机构，w/hich都在帮助服务不足的人 社区，拥有相辅相成的独特优势。主要目标是保持在MSM和TU建立富有成效的癌症研究计划方面的进展，并坚持发展TU未来少数民族研究人员的管道。合作伙伴关系有三个核心(行政、 规划与评估，以及发展)。在发展核心中，有四个研究方案和两个共享资源(生物伦理学和生物统计学)。通过研究计划，合作伙伴关系将继续：1)通过研究培训和职业发展(RTCD)计划，挖掘MSM和TU的有才华的学生和教职员工，将他们与成熟的研究人员和 向UABCCC的研究基础设施提供资金；2)促进发展研究(DR)计划，为研究项目提供资金；3)通过我们的癌症教育计划，鼓励不同科学学科的研究生和本科生在生物科学领域从事职业 并为我们的RTCD和DR计划提供管道；以及4)在我们服务不足的人群中提高癌症意识和健康生活方式，并增加少数族裔参与我们已建立的社区外联计划的治疗临床试验。生物伦理共享资源促进和确保遵守生物伦理原则，并解决我们机构之间以及机构和社区之间的关系中的伦理考虑。生物统计共享资源维护对所有项目的统计支持。该伙伴关系将继续展示其增强的研究癌症健康差异的能力。

This application is for the continuation of the existing Partnership beWveen Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), Tuskegee University (TU), and the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (UABCCC). The Partnership, located in the heart ofthe Southeast, a region with a large, historically underserved African American population, has goals of attaining excellence in research focused on the basis of cancer health disparities and on reducing the cancer burden. All three institutions, w/hich are assisting underserved communities, possess unique strengths that supplement each other. The primary objectives are to maintain progress in establishing productive cancer research programs at MSM and TU and to persist in developing a pipeline of prospective minority investigators at TU. The Partnership has three Cores (Administrative, Planning & Evaluation, and Developmental). Within the Developmental Core, there are four Research Programs and two Shared Resources (Bioethics and Biostatistics). With the Research Programs, the Partnership will continue: 1) to tap the pool of talented students and faculty at MSM and TU through the Research Training and Career Development (RTCD) Program, linking them to established Investigators and to the research infrastructure at the UABCCC; 2) to promote a Developmental Research (DR) Program, which provides funding for research projects; 3) to encourage graduate and undergraduate students across various scientific disciplines to pursue careers in the biosciences through our Cancer Education Program and to provide a pipeline into our RTCD and DR Programs; and 4) to promote cancer awareness and healthy lifestyles among our underserved populations and increase minority participation in therapeutic clinical trails our established Community Outreach Program. The Bioethics Shared Resource promotes and ensures adherence to bioethical principles and addresses ethical considerations in relationships among our institutions and between institutions and communities. The Biostatistics Shared Resource maintains statistical support to all programs. The Partnership will continue to demonstrate its enhanced capability to conduct research on cancer health disparities.
