Abstract: African Americans carry the highest cancer burden of any racial or ethnic group in the United States. A variety of factors (social, economic, genetic, nutritional and behavioral) contribute to the high rate of incidence and mortality among African Americans, and sorting out the contributions of each will require substantial and sustained research effort. Participation by members of the African American community in all aspects of cancer research is crucial to the success of this endeavor. The partnership between North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and the UNC-Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNCCH/LCCC), previously funded through a U56 award, has laid the groundwork for an inter-institutional training program for undergraduate students who are motivated to pursue careers in basic cancer research and in public health. This proposal requests support for the establishment of a unique 2 year program, called "Partners", designed to meet our goal of increasing the number of undergraduate students from both NCCU and UNC-Chapel Hill who successfully pursue careers devoted to finding causes, cures, and prevention strategies for cancers that disproportionately affect minorities, particularly African Americans. The Specific Aims ofthe Partners Program are as follows: (1) Provide NCCU undergraduate students with an intensive introduction to either basic cancer laboratory research or to the field of public health through a summer educational experience. (2) Assist students in developing the professional skills necessary to gain admission to competitive graduate and professional schools in the biomedical sciences or in public health and to successfully complete those programs. (3) During the academic year following the summer research experience, provide students both discipline-specific training to further develop research skills in their field and interdisciplinary cross-training to build a basic foundation for interdisciplinary research in public.health and social, behavioral and biomedical sciences. (4) Facilitate cancer research experiences for UNC-CH students in laboratories and research centers, and in public health-related departments at NCCU.

摘要：非洲裔美国人承担着美国任何种族或族裔的最高癌症负担。 多种因素（社会，经济，遗传，营养和行为）有助于非洲裔美国人的发病率和死亡率高，并且分解每个人的贡献将需要大量和持续的研究工作。非裔美国人社区成员参与癌症的各个方面 研究对于这项努力的成功至关重要。北卡罗莱纳州中央大学（NCCU）与以前通过U56奖项资助的UNC-Chapel Hill Lineberger综合癌症中心（UNCCH/LCCC）之间的合作伙伴关系为一项机构间培训计划奠定了基础。 有动力从事基本癌症研究和公共卫生职业的本科生。该建议要求支持建立一个名为“合作伙伴”的独特的2年计划，旨在实现我们的目标，即增加NCCU和UNC-Chapel Hill的本科生人数，他们成功地从事寻找原因，治疗疗法和预防策略的癌症，这些癌症对癌症的癌症，尤其是非洲非洲人，尤其是非洲非洲人的癌症。合作伙伴计划的具体目的如下：（1）为NCCU的本科生提供大量的介绍 通过夏季教育经验，癌症实验室研究或进入公共卫生领域。 （2）协助学生发展生物医学科学或公共卫生中竞争激烈的毕业生和专业学校所需的专业技能，并成功完成这些计划。 （3）在夏季研究经验之后的学年中，为学生提供特定于纪律的培训，以进一步发展其领域的研究技能和跨学科的跨培训，以建立公共跨学科研究的基本基础。 科学。 （4）促进实验室和研究中心的UNC-CH学生以及NCCU公共卫生相关的部门的癌症研究经验。
