The Center for Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development (CCRTD) was established in 1999 at Clark Atlanta University to carry-out basic research in cancer biology and drug discovery. In 2004, the CCRTD decided to concentrate in the area of prostate cancer due to disproportionately higher incidence and mortality rate of this disease in African-American men. The current proposal requests support to continue the Center of Excellence in Prostate Cancer Research, Education and Community Education. The main objectives of this center will be 1) To carry out high quality basic research in cell and molecular biology of prostate cancer and to identify underlying biological reasons for racial disparities, 2) To continue our training program for undergraduate and graduate students to provide research training in the area of prostate cancer and hence increase the number of minority (primarily African American) scientists in this area of research, 3) To expand the community-based educational program for raising awareness on prevention, screening, early detection and treatment of prostate cancer. These goals will be achieved in collaboration with the Clark Atlanta University Division of Communication Arts, Midtown Urology Educational Foundation, Saint Joseph's Hospital Men's Health and Wellness Center, and other community organizations. In the Research Core, we propose three research projects focusing on prostate cancer cell and molecular biology and racial disparities. In the Training Core, we are requesting support for training of four graduate and six undergraduate students in the area of cancer biology and community service. In the Community Outreach/Education Core, we are requesting support to expand upon the community outreach and educational activities to include a larger media arena and coverage. The overall activities of the center will be monitored by the Administrative Core. The activities of the Administrative Core will be overseen by the Institutional (lAC), External (EAC) and Local External (LEAC) Advisory Committees. The long term goals of the center will be to understand the biology of prostate cancer, to increase the number of African-American scientists in cancer research, and to educate the African-American community in the areas of prostate cancer prevention, early detection and treatment.

癌症研究和治疗开发中心 (CCRTD) 于 1999 年在克拉克成立 亚特兰大大学开展癌症生物学和药物发现方面的基础研究。 2004年，CCRTD 由于前列腺癌的发病率不成比例地较高，因此决定集中研究前列腺癌领域 这种疾病在非裔美国男性中的死亡率。当前的提案请求支持以继续 前列腺癌研究、教育和社区教育卓越中心。主要 该中心的目标是 1) 开展高质量的细胞和分子生物学基础研究 前列腺癌并确定种族差异的潜在生物学原因，2) 继续我们的培训 为本科生和研究生提供前列腺癌领域研究培训的计划 从而增加该研究领域的少数族裔（主要是非裔美国人）科学家的数量，3) 扩大以社区为基础的教育计划，以提高人们对预防、筛查、早期预防的认识 前列腺癌的检测和治疗。这些目标将通过与克拉克合作实现 亚特兰大大学传播艺术系、中城泌尿科教育基金会、圣约瑟夫 医院男性健康中心和其他社区组织。在研究核心中，我们 提出三个研究项目，重点关注前列腺癌细胞和分子生物学以及种族差异。 在培训核心中，我们请求支持四名研究生和六名本科生的培训 在癌症生物学和社区服务领域。在社区外展/教育核心中，我们是 请求支持扩大社区外展和教育活动，以涵盖更广泛的社区 媒体舞台和报道。该中心的整体活动将由行政核心进行监督。 行政核心的活动将受到机构 (LAC)、外部 (EAC) 和地方机构的监督 外部 (LEAC) 咨询委员会。该中心的长期目标是了解 前列腺癌，增加癌症研究中非裔美国科学家的数量，并进行教育 非洲裔美国人社区在前列腺癌预防、早期发现和治疗领域的贡献。
