DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In 2003, Singing River Hospital System (SRHS) was awarded a 5-year NIH grant which allowed SRHS to build infrastructure and establish a clinical research program aimed at reducing barriers to clinical research for minorities and the underserved. This project will continue the efforts begun with that grant. SRHS will maintain partnerships with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Mississippi Medical Center. These collaborations provide access to NCI sponsored clinical research trials to cancer patients receiving care at SRHS. The clinical research opportunities available for the cancer patients include prevention studies and treatment trials for common cancers such as breast, lung, prostate and colorectal. SRHS also offers trials for patients facing treatment challenges such as late stage diagnosis, recurrent cancers and those with limited treatment options. More than 76 clinical trials have been opened at SRHS with more than 102 patients accrued to studies during the CDRP grant. NCI funding also provides our hospital system the opportunity to offer our patients services such as transportation, social services and educational programming. These services are benefiting the Singing River Hospital System patients as well as the community at large and national health care. The RCC medical staff provided availability of clinical research at the community level making it integral to the mission of the cancer center. Grant investigators and staff recognize the importance of clinical research and are taking steps to ensure the sustainability of the research office. During this project SRHS will strengthen its clinical research activities while lessening its need for government funding. There are five sustainability options fully detailed in the research plan. They are: 1) Development of the Coastal Research Consortium; 2) Internal Funding; 3) Expansion of clinical research to a system-wide department; 4) Collaboration with UMMC as a community clinical affiliate; and 5) pursue CCOP/MB-CCOP funding with other CDRP sites. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Clinical research is essential to improving healthcare for the public. Our project brings clinical trials to a local hospital setting allowing patients who would not normally have access to cutting-edge medicine the opportunity to participate in clinical trials. As one SRHS clinical trial patient said, "lt was convenient for me to use this cancer center but when I found out about the clinical trials, it made me want to stay here even longer".

描述（由申请人提供）： 2003年，Singing River Hospital System（SRHS）获得了5年的NIH赠款，允许SRHS建立基础设施并建立一项临床研究计划，旨在减少针对少数民族和服务不足的临床研究的障碍。该项目将继续从该赠款开始的努力。 SRHS将与阿拉巴马大学的伯明翰大学和密西西比大学医学中心保持合作伙伴关系。这些合作为在SRHS接受护理的癌症患者提供了NCI赞助的临床研究试验的访问权限。癌症患者可用的临床研究机会包括预防研究和针对乳腺癌，肺，前列腺和结直肠癌等常见癌症的治疗试验。 SRHS还为面临治疗挑战的患者提供试验，例如晚期诊断，经常性癌症和治疗选择有限的患者。在CDRP赠款期间，SRHS开设了超过76次临床试验，其中102例患者对研究进行了研究。 NCI资金还为我们的医院系统提供了为我们的患者提供服务，例如运输，社会服务和教育计划。这些服务使Singing River医院系统患者以及大型和国家医疗保健的社区受益。 RCC医务人员在社区一级提供了临床研究的可用性，使其与癌症中心的任务不可或缺。赠款调查人员和员工认识到临床研究的重要性，并正在采取步骤确保研究办公室的可持续性。在这个项目中，SRHS将加强其临床研究活动，同时减少其对政府资金的需求。研究计划中有五种可持续性选择。它们是：1）沿海研究财团的发展； 2）内部资金； 3）将临床研究扩展到系统范围的部门； 4）与UMMC合作作为社区临床分支机构； 5）与其他CDRP站点一起寻求CCOP/MB-CCOP资金。 公共卫生相关性： 临床研究对于改善公众的医疗保健至关重要。我们的项目将临床试验带到当地的医院环境，使通常无法使用前沿药物的患者有机会参加临床试验。正如一位SRHS临床试验患者所说：“ LT很方便使用这个癌症中心，但是当我发现临床试验时，这使我想在这里停留更长的时间”。
