项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is to establish a Partnership between Alabama State University (ASU) and the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (UAB CCC). The Partnership, located in the heart of the Southeast, a region with a large, historically underserved African American population, has goals of attaining excellence in research focused on cancer health disparities. The two institutions possess unique strengths that supplement each other. At ASU, which is classified as a historically black college and university (HBCU), more than 90% of students and more than 60% of the faculty belong to an underserved minority community in which health disparities are a significant issue in various areas, including cancer. The UAB CCC, in contrast, has developed an extensive infrastructure and critical mass of scientists that are necessary for a sustained research program. Still, ASU has a cultural sensitivity and perspective that may be deficient in the UAB CCC. Thus, the partners will facilitate collaborations in cancer-related research, training (career development), and education to aid this underserved community. UAB CCC faculty/scientists will cooperate with faculty and students at ASU and thereby initiate cancer research programs, creating an conduit for ASU faculty and students to pursue cancer research programs. The proposed effort will engage underserved groups by providing advanced research in prostate and colorectal cancer (both of which are major cancer health disparities for African Americans), by providing training to students and faculty members and by introducing topics related to cancer health disparities into the undergraduate and graduate curriculum at ASU. The proposed Partnership has an Administrative Core, a Cancer Research Program with two functioning projects, and a Cancer Training and Education Program. Within the Administrative Core, there are Bioethics Support, Biostatistics/Bioinformatics Support, and Evaluation Support. The Partnership will be guided by an Internal Advisory Committee, which will consist of two distinguished scientists of each institution; an Executive Committee with members of both institutions; and, for each organization, a Partnership Institutional Committee. The Cancer Training and Education Program will reach talented students and faculty at ASU, linking them to established investigators and to the research infrastructure at the UAB CCC, and facilitate faculty, graduate, and undergraduate student and education in the area of cancer research in order to increase the number of minority investigators involved in cancer research. The goal of the Bioethics support will be to provide exceptional bioethics education, training, guidance, and consultation throughout the Partnership. The goal of the Biostatistics/Bioinformatics support will be to address the statistical/bioinformatics needs of the research projects sponsored by the Partnership. The specific aims for the Partnership are: (1) to enhance, by development of junior faculty members, the research and administrative infrastructure to conduct competitive basic and community-based cancer research at ASU; (2) to develop investigators committed to research in cancer disparities at both partnering institutions; and (3) to establish a pipeline of minority cancer disparity researchers and health professionals between ASU and UAB.

描述（由应用程序提供）：此应用程序是在阿拉巴马州立大学（ASU）和UAB综合癌症中心（UAB CCC）之间建立合作伙伴关系。该合作伙伴关系位于东南部的中心，这个地区有一个庞大的，历史悠久的地区非裔美国人人口的目标是在癌症健康分布上取得卓越的研究。这两个机构具有相互补充的独特优势。在ASU，被归类为历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），超过90％的学生和60％以上的教职员工属于服务不足的少数民族社区，在包括癌症在内的各个领域，健康分布是一个重要的问题。相比之下，UAB CCC开发了广泛的基础设施和临界科学家的批判质量，这是持续的研究计划所必需的。尽管如此，ASU还是UAB CCC中可能具有确定性的文化敏感性和观点。这是合作伙伴将支持与癌症有关的研究，培训（职业发展）和教育方面的合作，以帮助这个服务不足的社区。 UAB CCC教师/科学家将与ASU的教职员工合作，从而启动癌症研究计划，为ASU教师和学生提供购买癌症研究计划的行为。拟议的努力将通过提供前列腺和有色癌症的先进研究（这都是非裔美国人的主要癌症健康分布），通过向学生和教职员工提供培训，并将与癌症健康分布有关的主题提供给ASU的本科生和研究生课程，从而吸引服务不足的群体。拟议的合作伙伴关系具有行政核心，一个具有两个功能性项目的癌症研究计划以及一个癌症培训和教育计划。在行政核心中，有生物伦理学支持，生物统计学/生物信息学支持和评估支持。该合作伙伴关系将由内部咨询委员会指导，该委员会将由每个机构的两个杰出科学家组成；两个机构成员的执行委员会；并且，对于每个组织，都是合伙机构委员会。癌症培训和教育计划将吸引ASU的才华横溢的学生和教职员工，将他们与UAB CCC的研究基础设施联系起来，并促进癌症研究领域的教职员工，研究生和本科生和教育，以增加参与癌症研究的少数群体研究人员的数量。生物统计学/生物信息学支持的目标是在整个伙伴关系中提供卓越的生物伦理学教育，培训，指导和咨询。生物统计学/生物信息学支持的目标是解决合作伙伴关系赞助的研究项目的统计/生物信息学需求。合作伙伴关系的具体目标是：（1）通过发展初级教师，研究和行政基础设施来增强ASU的竞争基础和社区癌症研究；（2）培养致力于研究两个合作机构癌症差异的研究人员；（3）建立ASU和UAB之间的少数癌症差异研究人员和卫生专业人员的管道。
