Minority-Based Community Oncology Research Program

描述（由申请人提供）：蒙特菲奥里医疗中心（MMC）以少数族裔为基础的NCORP社区站点的总体目标是通过作为少数族裔/服务不足的社区站点参与NCORP，促进早期和晚期癌症的诊断、预防和管理。这将通过MMC与阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院和癌症中心（爱因斯坦）之间的合作来实现，前者在综合患者护理和创新医疗保健系统方面具有优势，为主要少数民族提供服务，后者通过其nci指定的癌症中心在癌症临床研究方面具有优势。MMC-Einstein项目还为ECOG-ACRIN研究小组和NRG NCORP研究基地带来了关键的领导力，包括小组主席办公室、科学委员会主席（或联合主席）和协议主席（或联合主席）的领导角色。我们的计划建立在我们长期参与癌症研究的各个方面，作为ECOG的主要成员近40年，作为NCI指定的癌症中心43年，以及在癌症治疗试验中积累的强大的少数群体历史（约占所有患者的三分之二）。MMC服务于布朗克斯区，这是一个拥有140万居民的城市社区，其中89%是少数民族，29%生活在联邦贫困线以下。作为一家非营利机构，我们将把我们在癌症治疗方面的优势与在预防、筛查和癌症护理方面的更广泛的机构能力结合起来，包括：在我们的癌症中心新成立的社区肿瘤学部门；广泛的基于实践的初级保健研究网络；我们与布朗克斯的安全网公立医院的联系；我们整合医疗管理、交付和融资的创新模式，包括我们的cms支持的先锋责任医疗组织。我们的网站准备为NCORP的国家使命和目标做出强有力的贡献。MMC-Einstein NCORP项目由在癌症治疗和癌症控制（约瑟夫·斯帕拉诺博士）、癌症预防（马克·爱因斯坦博士）和癌症控制和输送（布鲁斯·拉金博士）方面有经验和联邦资助的个人领导，并得到其他资助研究人员的支持。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goals of the Montefiore Medical Center (MMC) minority-based NCORP community site are to advance the diagnosis, prevention, and management of early and advanced cancer by participating in the NCORP as a minority/underserved community site. This will be accomplished by leveraging the partnership between MMC, which brings strengths in integrated patient care and innovative health care delivery systems serving a largely minority population, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Cancer Center (Einstein), which brings strength in cancer clinical research through its NCI-designated cancer center. The MMC-Einstein program also brings critical leadership to the ECOG-ACRIN Research Group and NRG NCORP research bases, including leadership roles at the level of the group chair's office, scientific committee chair (or co-chair) and protocol chair (or co-chair). Our plans build upon our long-standing involvement in all aspects of cancer research as a main member of ECOG for nearly 40 years and an NCI designated cancer center for 43 years, and a strong history of minority accrual to cancer treatment trials (about two-thirds of all patients). MMC serves the Bronx, an urban community of 1.4 million residents, of whom 89% are minorities and 29% live below the federal poverty level. As an NCORP site, we will combine our strengths in cancer therapeutics with broader institutional capacity in prevention, screening and cancer care delivery, including: a newly established Community Oncology section in our cancer center; an extensive practice-based research network in primary care; our affiliation with safety-net public hospitals in the Bronx; an our innovative models of integration care management, delivery and financing, including our CMS-supported Pioneer Accountable Care Organization. Our site is poised to make a strong contribution to the national mission and goals of NCORP. The MMC-Einstein NCORP program is led by individuals with experience and federal funding in cancer therapeutics and cancer control (Dr. Joseph Sparano), cancer prevention (Dr. Mark Einstein), and cancer control and delivery (Dr. Bruce Rapkin), and supported by a cadre of other funded investigators.
