项目摘要

ABSTRACT The U-HAND (University of Houston /MD Anderson) Program to Reduce Cancer Disparities seeks to build and maintain a long-term, collaborative partnership between the University of Houston (ISUPS, Hispanic-Serving Institution) and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (NCI-designated cancer center) that supports and stimulates excellence in educational programming and innovation in research designed to affect health equity among racial/ethnic groups disproportionately affected by cancer disparities. This will be achieved by better understanding and addressing the social determinants of cancer risk factors through community-engaged educational and scientific practices that synergistically capitalize on the strengths and contributions of the constituent partners. Our educational, outreach, and research initiatives will focus on the reduction of cancer risk among blacks and Hispanics in two key Houston communities: the Third Ward (largely black) and the East End (largely Hispanic). The U-HAND will have three cores: Administrative, Pilot Research Program, and Cancer Research Education Program, which will achieve the following specific aims: 1) Develop a research and educational partnership between the University of Houston, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Houston community to stimulate collaborative cancer disparities research related to tobacco use, poor diet, and physical inactivity among blacks and Hispanics; 2) Support the development of Early Stage Investigators through a rigorous pilot research program; 3) Increase the number of underrepresented racial/ethnic minority students and faculty engaged in cancer disparities research by providing them with research training, mentorship and service learning experiences; and 4) Develop a robust community outreach program focused on engaging community members in cancer disparities education, research, and clinical trials. The U-HAND partnership will be guided by an Internal Advisory Committee (IAC), External Advisory Board (EAB) and Community Advisory Board. The Administrative Core will serve as the strategic hub of the U-HAND partnership, connecting the two partnering institutions, as well as a network of community partners, to address complex social determinants that are the root of cancer disparities.

抽象的 U-HAND（休斯顿大学/MD 安德森大学）减少癌症差异计划旨在建立并维持休斯顿大学（ISUPS、西班牙裔服务机构）和德克萨斯大学 MD 安德森癌症中心（NCI 指定癌症中心）支持和促进卓越的教育规划和创新旨在影响受癌症影响尤为严重的种族/族裔群体的健康公平性的研究差异。这将通过更好地理解和解决癌症的社会决定因素来实现通过社区参与的教育和科学实践协同利用风险因素关于组成伙伴的优势和贡献。我们的教育、推广和研究举措将侧重于降低休斯敦两个主要地区黑人和西班牙裔的癌症风险社区：第三区（主要是黑人）和东区（主要是西班牙裔）。 U-HAND 将具有三个核心：行政、试点研究计划和癌症研究教育计划，这将实现以下具体目标： 1) 发展研究和教育伙伴关系休斯顿大学、德克萨斯大学 MD 安德森癌症中心和休斯顿社区促进与烟草使用、不良饮食和缺乏身体活动相关的癌症差异合作研究在黑人和西班牙裔中； 2) 通过严格的支持早期研究者的发展试点研究计划； 3) 增加代表性不足的种族/少数民族学生的数量教师通过为他们提供研究培训、指导和指导来从事癌症差异研究服务学习经历； 4) 制定强有力的社区外展计划，重点关注参与社区成员在癌症教育、研究和临床试验方面存在差异。 U-HAND 合作伙伴关系将由内部咨询委员会 (IAC)、外部咨询委员会 (EAB) 和社区提供指导顾问委员会。行政核心将作为 U-HAND 合作伙伴关系的战略中心，连接两个合作机构以及社区合作伙伴网络，以解决复杂的问题社会决定因素是癌症差异的根源。
