项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) Overall Abstract: Despite 5 major academic research-intensive medical centers, 2 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers and millions of dollars in cancer research funding, Chicago consistently ranks in the upper quartile amongst the nation's worst cancer disparities. An under-tapped approach for addressing cancer disparities and advancing cancer health equity is the forging of strong bridges among the institutions that serve underrepresented populations with research intensive, NCI-designated cancer centers. Our collaborative aims to change the game in how we work toward eliminating Chicago's cancer health disparities by directly building and connecting bridges across 2 federally designated Hispanic Serving Institutions, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), and an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, the Northwestern University Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center (NU RHLCCC). This proposal describes the Midwest's first NCI U54 CPACHE to establish the Chicago Collaborative to Promote and Advance Cancer Health Equity (CCPACHE), a comprehensive partnership for cancer research, education and training, and outreach. This collaborative partnership across Chicago combines the attributes of three exceptional institutions with unique capacity to interact with their urban-shared context and leverages established partnership infrastructure, including an NCI P20. UIC and NEIU hold outstanding track records of enrolling and graduating minority and nontraditional students across undergraduate through professional degree levels and have built longstanding partnerships with Chicago communities. Complementing the strengths of NEIU and UIC, NUI RHLCCC conducts a broad range of basic, clinical, and population science research and has expertise and experience to recruit and train students and faculty in cancer research. Within the nurturing hub of four Cores, a pilot funding program, two initial proposed pilots, and one full research project, we seek to accomplish the following five aims: (1) to codify and sustain a transformational alliance between UIC, NEIU, and NU RHLCCC in the pursuit of cancer health equity; (2) to establish an ongoing research pilot funding program that incubates and catalyzes multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research programs in cancer disparities; (3) to connect the research, education and training generated by this partnership to communities across Chicago by mobilizing Partnership resources to collaborate with diverse communities in responsive ways, by defining cancer disparities at the local level, and by identifying broader solutions that may be disseminated and tested in future research; (4) through enhanced education and training opportunities, to support a diverse pipeline of students entering the health and STEM related pipelines towards graduate degrees and careers in cancer research; and (5) to facilitate opportunities for skills training, education, and mentorship among UIC, NEIU and NU RHLCCC community members to develop scientists who will produce more competitive grant applications and succeed in securing extramural funding.

描述（由申请人提供）总体摘要：尽管有 5 个主要的学术研究密集型医疗中心、2 个 NCI 指定的综合癌症中心以及数百万美元的癌症研究经费，但芝加哥在全国最严重的癌症差异中始终名列前四分之一。解决癌症差异和促进癌症健康公平的尚未充分利用的方法是在为代表性不足的人群提供服务的机构与 NCI 指定的研究密集型癌症中心之间建立牢固的桥梁，我们的合作目标是改变。我们如何通过直接在两个联邦指定的拉美裔服务机构（伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 (UIC) 和东北伊利诺伊大学 (NEIU)）以及 NCI 指定的综合癌症中心之间建立和连接桥梁来努力消除芝加哥的癌症健康差异西北大学 Robert H. Lurie 综合癌症中心 (NU RHLCCC) 该提案描述了中西部第一个 NCI U54 CPACHE，旨在建立芝加哥合作促进和推进。癌症健康公平 (CCPACHE) 是一个针对癌症研究、教育和培训以及外展的全面合作伙伴关系，这种跨芝加哥的合作伙伴关系结合了三个杰出机构的属性，具有与其城市共享环境互动的独特能力，并利用已建立的合作伙伴关系基础设施，包括 NCI P20 在内，UIC 和 NEIU 在招收和毕业本科至专业学位级别的少数族裔和非传统学生方面拥有出色的记录，并与芝加哥社区建立了长期合作伙伴关系，补充了 NEIU 和 UIC、NUI 的优势。 RHLCCC 开展广泛的基础、临床和人口科学研究，并拥有招募和培训癌症研究学生和教师的专业知识和经验，该中心由四个核心、一个试点资助计划、两个初步提议的试点和一个组成。在整个研究项目中，我们力求实现以下五个目标：(1) 制定并维持 UIC、NEIU 和 NU RHLCCC 之间的转型联盟，以追求癌症健康公平；(2) 建立持续的研究试点资金；孵化和促进癌症差异方面的多学科和跨学科研究项目的计划；(3) 通过动员伙伴关系资源，通过定义癌症差异，以响应方式与不同社区合作，将这一伙伴关系产生的研究、教育和培训与芝加哥各地的社区联系起来。在地方层面，并确定可在未来研究中传播和测试的更广泛的解决方案；(4) 通过加强教育和培训机会，支持多样化的学生进入健康和 STEM 相关领域，获得研究生学位和职业生涯；癌症研究；(5) 促进技能培训、教育、 UIC、NEIU 和 NU RHLCCC 社区成员中的导师，培养能够提出更具竞争力的资助申请并成功获得校外资助的科学家。
