DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to provide partial meeting support for the annual meetings of the "Regional Cancer Center Consortium." The next annual meeting is being held Feb. 16-18th, 2006 at the Hillman Cancer Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and subsequent meetings will rotate to other member Institutions. The Regional Cancer Center Consortium is composed of a group of laboratory and clinical investigators from Comprehensive and Regional Cancer Centers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, New York, and Michigan. The success of our prior meetings (held annually for the past 8 years) and the enthusiasm that has been generated for continuing and improving this effort has now prompted us to seek NCI support. Support for the next five years will greatly help us to develop and sustain a unique, high quality scientific program focused around important, timely themes concerning novel therapies and translational research. Such a program will 1) enhance regional clinical and scientific collaborations among near-by cancer centers and 2) provide a low cost and easily accessible, yet state-of- the-art educational opportunity for researchers, clinicians, industry representatives, students/ fellows and patients. NCI funding will be used specifically to augment meeting planning at an early stage for the next several years and to provide opportunities for graduate/medical students and laboratory/clinical fellows to attend the meeting (through travel awards) and to help defray the costs associated with travel of invited experts from outside the Consortium's region and with educational materials (notebooks/slide handouts) used for the meeting. Of great importance to the co-organizers of this Consortium is the inclusion of underrepresented minorities and women in all stages of meeting development, as speakers and as coorganizers, and making sure that the meetings are accessible to all persons, including those with disabilities. In summary, NCI funding for this annual meeting can help to provide for the long-term stability of an important and unique educational opportunity for both cancer researchers and care providers in this region of the country (which includes both underserved rural and urban communities) and contribute greatly toward the NCI's "Roadmap" goal of increased collaboration among regional and comprehensive cancer centers. This consortium has great potential for helping members of this region's cancer centers to network, increase collaborative efforts and pilot innovative approaches in the therapy of cancer, particularly new biological or immunological approaches, which will ultimately benefit patient care and the timely completion of new clinical trials.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求资金为“区域癌症中心财团”的年度会议提供部分会议支持。 下一次年度会议将于2006年2月16日至18日在匹兹堡大学医学中心的希尔曼癌症中心举行，随后的会议将旋转到其他会员机构。 该区域癌症中心财团由宾夕法尼亚州，西弗吉尼亚州，俄亥俄州，纽约和密歇根州的综合和区域癌症中心的一组实验室和临床研究人员组成。 我们先前的会议的成功（在过去的8年中每年举行）以及继续进行这项工作的热情现在促使我们寻求NCI支持。 对未来五年的支持将极大地帮助我们发展和维持一个独特的高质量科学计划，该计划围绕着有关新颖疗法和转化研究的重要，及时的主题。 这样的计划将1）增强近乎癌症中心之间的区域临床和科学合作； 2）为研究人员，临床医生，行业代表，学生/研究员和患者提供低成本，易于访问但易于获得的教育机会。 NCI资金将专门用于在接下来的几年的早期阶段增加会议计划，并为研究生/医学生和实验室/临床研究员提供机会参加会议（通过旅行奖），并帮助支付与联盟外部地区外的受邀专家相关的成本，并使用教育材料（笔记本/滑动材料）用于会议。 对于这个财团的共同组织者来说，非常重要的是，在会议发展的各个阶段，包括演讲者和辅导员的各个阶段都包含了代表性不足的少数民族和妇女，并确保所有人都可以参加包括残疾人在内的所有人的会议。 总而言之，本次会议的NCI资金可以帮助为癌症研究人员和该地区该地区的癌症研究人员和护理提供者提供长期稳定（包括服务不足的乡村和城市社区），并为NCI的“路线图”贡献了巨大的贡献，这是区域和全面癌症中心增加协作的目标。 该财团在帮助该地区癌症中心的成员建立网络，增加协作努力和试点创新方法（尤其是新的生物学或免疫学方法）方面具有巨大潜力，这最终将使患者护理以及及时完成新的临床试验。
