CCNY-MSKCC Partnership for Cancer Research Training & Community Outreach (1 of 2

描述（由申请人提供）：CCNY-MSKCC研究、培训和社区推广伙伴关系创建了跨机构合作，强调了跨转化连续体的研究，创建了吸引少数民族和低收入学生从事癌症研究的培训管道，并建立了社区网络和资源，以便在不同的高危人群中开展以社区为基础的参与性研究。我们提出了两个完整的项目，重点关注转化健康差异和生物医学工程，以及一个试点项目，代表计算机科学（CCNY）和医学物理学（MSKCC）研究人员之间的合作。培训中心将继续开发培训经验，以吸引少数族裔和低收入学生从事癌症研究。伙伴关系社区外展、研究和教育核心（PCORE）将扩大服务和社区联络，以促进创新的社区参与性研究，旨在减少纽约大都市区和全国的健康差距。具体目标是：1)继续发展健康差异、生物医学工程、计算机科学/医学成像、癌细胞生物学和免疫学方面的癌症研究项目，沿着转化研究连续体（从阶段到T4）；2)与不同社区合作，开展和促进开创性的外展和研究，以确定和解决医疗服务不足的大型地方和国家社区的癌症差异；3)在一个强大的癌症转化研究环境中继续发展和扩大培训机会，以吸引和留住对癌症研究感兴趣的学生（特别是少数民族和低收入学生）；这些机会将通过教育和培训机会以及更多的指导和支持得到加强；4)扩大和整合跨机构科学合作所需的人员、资源和环境。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The CCNY-MSKCC Partnership for Research, Training, and Community Outreach has created cross-institutional collaboration that has emphasized research across the translational continuum, the creation of a training pipeline for attracting minority and low income students to careers in cancer research, and the establishment of community networks and resources for conducting community-based participatory research among diverse, at-risk populations. We propose two full projects that focus on translational health disparities and biomedical engineering and a pilot project which represents collaboration between computer science (CCNY) and medical physics (MSKCC) investigators. The Training Core will continue to develop training experiences for attracting minority and low income students to careers in cancer research. The Partnership Community Outreach, Research, and Education Core (PCORE) will expand services and community liaisons to promote innovative community-based participatory research designed to reduce health disparities in the New York metropolitan area and nationally. The specific objectives are to: 1) continue to develop cancer research programs in health disparities, biomedical engineering, computer science / medical imaging, cancer cell biology, and immunology along the Translational Research Continuum (Stages TO through T4); 2) collaborate with diverse communities to conduct and facilitate trailblazing outreach and research to define and address cancer disparities for the large, medically underserved local and national communities; 3) continue to develop and expand training opportunities in a robust translational cancer research environment to attract and retain students interested in cancer research (particularly minority and low income students); these opportunities will be enhanced by educational and training opportunities and increased mentorship and support; 4) expand and integrate the personnel, resources, and environment needed for scientific collaboration across institutions. RELEVANCE: Reduction of cancer health disparities is a high priority area requiring a multi-pronged approach that includes focused training, research, and community outreach. The CCNY-MSKCC Partnership for Research, Training, and Community Outreach provides a comprehensive approach for accomplishing these goals.
