PROJECT SUMMARY Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Massey Cancer Center (MCC) will serve as the primary component site for an NCORP Minority/Underserved Community Site (MU-NCORP) UG1 award in partnership with 6 collaborating community affiliate sites in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Over 30% of patients seen in the MCC MU-NCORP are from minority populations, primarily African Americans. This proposal emphasizes the unique urban and rural population available to the MCC MU-NCORP, the history of extensive participation by primary health care providers and specialists, in particular, surgeons, pediatric/AYA oncologists, gynecologic surgeons, radiation oncologists, neuro-oncologists, and medical oncologists in clinical research, and VCU initiatives in cancer outreach conducted at rural sites across Virginia. This community-based NCORP, focused on participation in clinical research of minority populations, was initially funded as a Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program in 1990 and has been continuously funded, including since 2014 as a MU-NCORP. The MCC MU-NCORP has affiliations with 5 Research Bases (Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, Children’s Oncology Group, ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group, NRG Oncology, and the Wake Forest NCORP Research Base). Our application describes the working relationships with the Research Bases and the focus of the MCC MU-NCORP to accrue significant numbers of minority participants in cancer control and prevention, treatment/imaging, and cancer care delivery clinical research studies. Working relationships of the primary site’s investigators, research staff, and support personnel with the affiliate sites are also described. Accordingly, the specific aims of this proposal are (1) to increase the overall enrollment of racial/ethnic and rural populations in our catchment areas to NCI-approved studies, with a greater focus on cancer control research, cancer prevention research, and cancer care delivery research (CCDR), in addition to cancer treatment research; (2) to collaborate with the NCORP Research Bases by (i) providing insight into relevance for community practices during concept development, (ii) identifying care disparities our catchment areas that should be studied, and (iii) providing input on feasibility during concept and protocol development; (3) to exceed the required annual minimum participation in CCDR protocols; (4) to participate in biospecimen collection for biobanks that serve as scientific resources for NCORP Research Bases; and (5) to participate in NCORP initiatives, such as DCP-001, to document screening efforts for clinical trial enrollment and to address cancer health disparities. The proposed research is relevant to the mission of the NCI as MCC and the community affiliates will bring cancer clinical trials and research to low-income, minority, and medically underserved individuals who otherwise would not have access to such studies. Targeting the minority/underserved populations in their communities is a critical step toward alleviating the cancer care disparities prevalent in these populations.

项目摘要 弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）梅西癌症中心（MCC）将作为主要组成部分 NCORP少数民族/服务不足的社区网站（MU-NCORP）UG1奖的网站与6合伙 在弗吉尼亚州联邦协作社区会员站点。超过30％的MCC患者 Mu-ncorp来自少数族裔，初级非洲裔美国人。该提议强调了独特的 MCC MU-NCORP可用的城市和粗糙人口，主要参与的历史 卫生保健提供者和专家，特别是外科医生，儿科/艾亚肿瘤学家，妇科医生， 临床研究中的辐射肿瘤学家，神经肿瘤学家和医学肿瘤学家以及VCU计划 癌症外展在弗吉尼亚州的粗糙地点进行。这个基于社区的NCORP着重于 参与少数民族人口的临床研究，最初是作为少数民族社区资助的 1990年的临床肿瘤学计划，并一直得到资助，包括自2014年以来担任MU-NCORP。 MCC MU-NCORP拥有5个研究基础（肿瘤学临床试验联盟， 儿童肿瘤学小组，ECOG-ACRIN癌症研究小组，NRG肿瘤学和Wake Forest NCORP研究基础）。我们的应用程序描述了与研究基础的工作关系， MCC Mu-Ncorp的重点是吸引大量少数参与者在癌症控制和 预防，治疗/成像和癌症护理递送临床研究。工作关​​系 还描述了主要网站的调查人员，研究人员和与会员站点的支持人员。 彼此之间，该提案的具体目的是（1）增加种族/种族的整体入学率 我们集水区的农村人口进行NCI批准的研究，更加重视癌症控制 除癌症外，研究，预防癌症研究和癌症护理提供研究（CCDR） 治疗研究； （2）通过（i）提供有关相关性的见解，与NCORP研究基础合作 为了在概念发展期间的社区实践，（ii）确定我们的集水区域的护理分布 应进行研究，（iii）在概念和协议开发过程中提供有关可行性的意见； （3）到 超过所需的年度最低参与CCDR协议； （4）参加BiosPecimen 为NCORP研究基础的科学资源的生物库收集； （5）参加 NCORP倡议，例如DCP-001，以记录临床试验入学的筛查工作并解决 癌症健康分布。 拟议的研究与NCI的使命有关，因为MCC和社区会员将带来 癌症临床试验和对低收入，少数群体和医疗服务不足的人的研究 否则将无法获得此类研究。针对少数族裔/服务不足的人口 社区是减轻这些人群中普遍存在的癌症护理分布的关键一步。
