The annual age-adjusted mortality rate for cancer in the District of Columbia (DC) is 212 per 100,000 persons, compared to 170 for the Nation. The incidence of cancer is disproportionately high among African Americans, who constitute 68% of the population of the District of Columbia. DC exemplifies that cancer rate disparities exist among different racial groups. In an attempt to address the cancer burden among the African American community in general, and that of DC in particular, we will establish a partnership between the Lombardi Cancer Center (LCC), which is a comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), and the University of the District of Columbia (UDC), which is a minority serving institution (MSI). The aims proposed below are critically needed in the District because of its high cancer burden, and this P20 planning grant is an ideal mechanism for fostering our partnership and achieving our objectives: (1). To foster a long term cancer research focus at UDC, along with collaborative relationships with LCC, by training two research faculty from UDC in cancer research; (2) To develop a joint long-lived undergraduate training program in cancer biology and cancer prevention, consisting of at least 2 undergraduate courses and a senior research project program, in order to encourage minorities to apply to graduate cancer research programs; (3) To increase the awareness and promote research at LCC relating to cancer and cancer disparities among the D.C. African American community. (4). To develop a joint long-lived cancer outreach program focusing on cancer prevention and risk behavior in the African American community. This planning grant was deliberately designed to consist of a realistic beginning for the partnership, where there was none before. It addresses clear gaps in the respective institutions and the needs in the local community.

哥伦比亚特区（DC）癌症年龄调整后的年龄调整后的死亡率为每10万人212人，而全国为170人。在非裔美国人中，癌症的发生率不成比例，占哥伦比亚特区人口的68％。 DC的例证表明，不同种族群体之间存在癌症率差异。为了解决整个非裔美国人社区之间的癌症负担，尤其是DC的负担，我们将在伦巴第癌中心（LCC）之间建立伙伴关系，该中心是综合癌症中心（CCC），哥伦比亚大学（UDC）（UDC）（UDC），这是少数派服务机构（MSI）。由于其癌症负担很高，因此在该地区提出的目标是至关重要的，而P20计划补助金是促进我们的伙伴关系并实现我们的目标的理想机制：（1）。通过培训UDC的两位研究学院，在UDC培养了UDC的长期癌症研究重点，并与LCC进行了合作关系； （2）制定一项癌症生物学和癌症预防的长期寿命的本科培训计划，由至少2个本科课程和一项高级研究项目组成，以鼓励少数群体申请研究生癌症研究计划； （3）提高意识并促进LCC的研究，与非裔美国人社区之间有关癌症和癌症差异。 （4）。为了制定关注非裔美国人社区癌症预防和风险行为的联合长期癌症外展计划。该计划赠款的故意设计是为了由以前没有的合作伙伴关系的现实开端组成。它解决了各个机构中的明显差距以及当地社区的需求。
