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

描述（由申请人提供）：本文件是对CAI 0-503减少癌症健康差距的全面合作伙伴关系的回应。这份由丹娜-法伯/哈佛癌症中心及其合作伙伴马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校提交的申请，描述了将成功的U56合作伙伴关系过渡到U54的计划：从一开始，合作伙伴关系就基于强大的机构支持，领导层的重大个人承诺，以及对成功合作伙伴关系将带来的机构利益的信念。我们建立伙伴关系的基础是两个关键原则：a)对解决癌症方面的种族、民族和社会经济差异问题有着共同和强烈的兴趣；b)相信通过合作，双方都能获得各自无法获得的利益。通过精心规划，双方建立了成熟、稳固和坚定的伙伴关系，为两所大学带来了变革。该应用程序提供了广泛的证据，证明了这些原则的运作方式和由此产生的好处，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（培训核心和统计与调查方法核心）外，该应用程序还包括严谨和创新的科学，代表基础科学，临床科学和人口科学，以及创新的博士后培训计划护理和健康差距。该伙伴关系得到了各自机构领导人强有力和热情的个人和机构支持。该伙伴关系建立了良好的沟通、领导和评估，并由一个杰出的外部计划指导委员会指导。这一伙伴关系已为迈向U54机制做好了充分准备。

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.
