项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Strong ties have developed between investigators at Columbia University's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) and Long Island University's Brooklyn campus (LIU) over the past four years. Several joint grants and projects have resulted, totaling over $2 million, with two proposals pending. Anchoring this collaboration has been a P20 from NCI (CA91372). These research efforts have focused on differences among African Caribbean immigrant populations in Brooklyn and North Manhattan (including Dominican, Haitian, and English-speaking Caribbean) and US-born African American and European American. The research includes behavioral, cultural, lifestyle, and biological/genetic differences that may relate to cancer-related health disparities. In this application, we propose to build upon the existing partnership and use it as a platform for a broader, more comprehensive study of the same issues. This partnership would meld the two institutions, with an emphasis on bringing together their complementary strengths. The PI at LIU is a well-known psychologist with extensive behavioral and survey research experience with these populations in Brooklyn. The PI at Columbia is a medical oncologist and epidemiologist with a strong record in cancer prevention and control research and a leadership position in the HICCC. HICCC will provide access to its core facilities, especially the Biostatistics Core, while LIU will provide its expertise in survey and behavioral research. The proximity of the two institutions will permit frequent seminars and workshops attended by individuals from both centers, as well as an annual retreat at each center. Students and faculty at each will also have access to courses and lectures at each of the institutions. Equally important will be programs designed to provide experience for minority students and faculty in cancer research, with the opportunity for students from LIU to obtain admissions and fellowships to Columbia programs, illustrated by a minority predoc from LIU who will have a R25 postdoc at Columbia. Two projects and four pilots are proposed in year 1, with a prominent external advisory committee to meet annually to review the progress of the U54 program. There will be an annual competition for funding for the following year; proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers, as was successfully conducted in our P20. Ongoing/proposed projects/pilots will be discussed at a monthly workshop alternating between campuses at which statisticians, data management, and methodologists will attend to provide constructive discussion. A representative from the University of West Indies (UWI) will attend annual EAB meetings and, via videoconference, quarterly internal steering committee meetings with long-term possibilities for dual site (Brooklyn/Caribbean) projects. This partnership has a unique study population, a successful existing relationship, and an emphasis on population science research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的四年中，哥伦比亚大学赫伯特·欧文综合癌症中心（HICCC）（HICCC）的调查员与长岛大学的布鲁克林校园（LIU）之间建立了牢固的联系。导致了几项联合赠款和项目，总计超过200万美元，有两个提案待定。基于NCI的P20（CA91372）是P20。这些研究工作集中在布鲁克林和北曼哈顿的非洲加勒比移民人口之间的差异（包括多米尼加，海地和说英语的加勒比海），以及美国出生的非裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人。该研究包括可能与癌症相关的健康差异有关的行为，文化，生活方式以及生物学/遗传差异。在此应用程序中，我们建议建立在现有合作伙伴关系的基础上，并将其用作对相同问题进行更广泛，更全面研究的平台。这种伙伴关系将融合了这两个机构，重点是将其互补的优势融合在一起。 LIU的PI是一位著名的心理学家，在布鲁克林这些人群中拥有广泛的行为和调查研究经验。哥伦比亚的PI是一名医学肿瘤学家和流行病学家，在癌症预防和控制研究中具有良好的记录，以及在HICCC中的领导地位。 HICCC将提供对其核心设施的访问权限，尤其是生物统计学核心，而刘将在调查和行为研究方面提供专业知识。这两个机构的接近度将允许两个中心的个人参加的频繁研讨会和讲习班，以及每个中心的年度撤退。每个机构的学生和教职员工还将获得课程和讲座。同样重要的是旨在为癌症研究的少数族裔学生和教职员工提供经验的计划，并有机会来自刘的学生获得哥伦比亚计划的录取和奖学金，这是由Liu的少数Predoc说明的，他们将在哥伦比亚拥有R25的R25博士后。第1年提出了两个项目和四个飞行员，并举行了一个著名的外部咨询委员会，每年开会以审查U54计划的进度。次年将举行年度资金竞赛；与我们的P20中成功进行的外部审阅者将审查提案。将在每月的研讨会上讨论持续/拟议的项目/飞行员，在校园之间交替进行统计学家，数据管理和方法论家参加以提供建设性讨论的校园。西印度群岛大学（UWI）的代表将参加年度EAB会议，并通过视频会议，季度内部指导委员会会议，具有长期双重现场的可能性（布鲁克林/加勒比海）项目。这种伙伴关系具有独特的研究人群，成功的现有关系以及对人群科学研究的重视。
