 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) ABSTRACT (OVERALL): Low-income rural communities experience significant cancer health disparities, including lower screening rates, increased incidence, and later stage at detection, poorer survival, and higher mortality. The Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (SIUSM) and its Simmons Cancer Institute serve much of the central rural, southern rural, and Delta regions of Illinois. These rural communities have higher poverty rates and are medically underserved with disparately high cancer burden. SIUSM has established a partnership with the NCI-designated Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) at Washington University in Saint Louis (WUSTL), and SCC's Prevention and Control Program, entitled, Addressing Rural Cancer Health Disparities: An SCC-SIUSM PARTNERSHIP. To prepare for this application, we initiated planning activities in summer 2013. These collaborative planning activities included shared discussions, bi-monthly executive conference calls, in-person meetings at both sites, and early collaborative research efforts between SCC and SIUSM investigators. An Internal Advisory Committee comprised of representatives from each institution and key stakeholders from the region was formed and active in planning this application. The partnership goals are to: 1) build SIUSM cancer research capacity and support SIUSM faculty in transitioning to NIH-funded cancer disparities research, 2) provide opportunities for mid- and senior-level investigators to engage in cross- institutional cancer research and increase the rural cancer research scope and capacity at SCC, and 3) foster the development of post- doctoral scholars and junior faculty at both institutions to develop independent researchers in cancer disparities research. We will use three strategies to achieve these goals: First, a newly developed Pilot Research Program now allows junior investigators to gain research seed funding, collaborative experience and preliminary data for future NIH grants. This growing program prompted by this NCI PAR has already funded one on-going collaborative pilot, and another pilot is included in this application. Second, SCC will provide SIUSM faculty and trainees with access to research seminars and other training opportunities at SCC, and offer short-term investigator exchange programs. Third, building on career development activities ongoing at SCC, the two institutions will share strategies for faculty early career development. In particular, WUSTL's Division of Public Health Sciences offers a 10-month Master's degree in Population Health Science. We will identify clinician-scientists at SIUSM who want to build these research skills through coursework. We envision that these training activities may grow into an R25E or T32 application for rural cancer disparities research. Building on and leveraging the world-class cancer research and training programs at SCC and its Division of Public Health Science, and the rurally-focused mission of SIUSM and its commitment to develop population health science research, this Partnership will provide an important avenue for training and supporting a cadre of basic, clinical and population-based scientists at SIUSM with a focus on alleviating rural cancer disparities.

 描述（适用提供）摘要（总体）：低收入农村社区经历了重要的癌症健康分布，包括较低的筛查率，增加的事件以及后来的发现，较差的生存率和更高的死亡率。伊利诺伊州南部医学院（SIUSM）及其西蒙斯癌症研究所为伊利诺伊州的大部分农村，南部农村和三角洲地区提供服务。这些农村社区的贫困率较高，并且在医学上和癌症癌症的癌症较高。 SIUSM已与圣路易斯华盛顿大学（Wustl）华盛顿大学的NCI指定的SITEMAN癌症中心（SCC）建立了合作伙伴关系，SCC的预防和控制计划的题为“解决农村癌症的健康不足：SCC-SIUSM-SIUSM合作伙伴关系。为了准备此申请，我们在2013年夏季开始了计划活动。这些协作计划活动包括共同的讨论，每两月的执行会议，两个站点的面对面会议以及SCC和SIUSM调查人员之间的早期合作研究工作。由每个机构组成的内部咨询委员会和该地区的主要利益相关者都在计划此申请中成立并积极。 partnership goals are to: 1) build SIUSM cancer research capacity and support SIUSM faculty in transitioning to NIH-funded cancer distributions research, 2) provide opportunities for mid- and senior-level investigators to engage in cross- institutional cancer research and increase the rough cancer research scope and capacity at SCC, and 3) foster the development of post-doctoral scholars and junior faculty at both institutions to develop independent researchers in cancer distributions research.我们将使用三种策略来实现这些目标：首先，新开发的试点研究计划现在允许初级研究人员获得研究种子资金，协作经验和未来NIH赠款的初步数据。该NCI PAR促成的这个不断增长的计划已经为一个正在进行的合作飞行员提供了资金，并且该应用程序包括另一个飞行员。其次，SCC将为SIUSM教师和受训者提供SCC的研究下水道和其他培训机会，并提供短期研究者交流计划。第三，基于SCC的职业发展活动，这两个机构将分享教师早期职业发展的策略。特别是，Wustl的公共卫生科学系提供了10个月的人口健康科学硕士学位。我们将在SIUSM的临床科学家中确定希望通过课程来建立这些研究技能的临床科学家。我们设想这些培训活动可能会发展为R25E或T32进行粗糙的癌症差异研究。该伙伴关系基于SCC及其公共卫生科学部的世界一流癌症研究和培训计划，以及SIUSM的大致专注于SIUSM的使命及其对发展人群健康科学研究的承诺，该合作伙伴关系将为培训和支持基本，临床和人群基于基础的基于基础的科学家提供重要的途径，重点是寓言属于SIUISM的乡村癌症疾病。
