DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (DREW) a minority institution (MSI/HBCU) located in South Central Los Angeles, is planning a partnership with the world renowned Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). The proposed partnership with the UCLA-JCCC provides a unique opportunity to begin to strengthen the DREW cancer research and training infrastructure. Conversely, UCLA and the investigators in the JCCC will have the important opportunity to address, in a focused manner, issues related to the unequal burden of cancer in minority populations. This partnership will focus on the areas of cancer research, training, education and outreach, and strengthen the DREW and UCLA research portfolios through programs that develop and enhance the capacity of investigators to perform high quality research with sensitivity toward reducing racial/ethnic disparities in health status. This application describes our plans to establish a comprehensive, seamless program of joint cancer research, training and career development by 1) integrating faculty, fellows, and students into various cancer training and career development programs; 2) planning and initiating pilot projects; and 3) enhancing research capability of the DREW Tissue Repository. This program will recruit promising students, scientists, and clinicians at DREW and UCLA into the field of cancer research, education and treatment, and to retain these individuals within the combined DREW/UCLA cancer program. At the same time, we will increase the number of minority scientists in cancer research, treatment, education and training. Our training and career development programs will produce outstanding academic and culturally sensitive students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty. These individuals will serve as our ambassadors toward understanding and therefore, reducing the burden of cancer in our underserved and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. In view of the rapidly changing demographics of Los Angeles and the State of California, the DREW-UCLA Partnership is ideally situated and will have an opportunity to have a positive impact on the cancer incidence and survival in minority and underserved populations.

描述（由申请人提供） 查尔斯·德鲁医学与科学大学（DREW）位于洛杉矶中南部的少数民族机构（MSI/HBCU）正在计划与加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的世界著名琼斯森综合癌症中心（JCCC）合作。与UCLA-JCCC的拟议合作伙伴关系为开始加强DREW癌症研究和培训基础设施提供了独特的机会。相反，加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）和JCCC的调查人员将有一个重要的机会以重点的方式解决与少数族裔人口不平等负担有关的问题。这种伙伴关系将集中在癌症研究，培训，教育和外展领域，并通过计划发展和增强研究人员对降低健康状况中种族/族裔差异的敏感性进行高质量研究的能力来增强DREW和UCLA研究组合。该应用程序描述了我们计划建立一个全面，无缝的联合癌症研究，培训和职业发展计划的计划1）将教职员工，研究员和学生整合到各种癌症培训和职业发展计划中； 2）计划和启动试点项目； 3）增强了Drew组织存储库的研究能力。 该计划将招募DREW和UCLA的有前途的学生，科学家和临床医生进入癌症研究，教育和治疗领域，并将这些人保留在DREW/UCLA癌症联合计划中。同时，我们将增加癌症研究，治疗，教育和培训中的少数族裔科学家的数量。我们的培训和职业发展计划将培养出杰出的学术和文化敏感学生，博士后研究员和教师。这些人将成为我们迈向理解的大使，因此减轻了我们服务不足和社会经济处境不利的人群中的癌症负担。 鉴于洛杉矶和加利福尼亚州的人口迅速变化，Drew-Ucla合作伙伴关系是理想的位置，并且将有机会对少数群体和服务不足人群的癌症发病率和生存产生积极影响。
