ABSTRACT (ADMINISTRATIVE CORE) Low-income rural communities experience significant cancer health disparities, including lower screening rates, increased incidence, later stage at detection, poorer survival, and higher mortality. The Southern Illinois University School of Medicine (SIUSM) and its Simmons Cancer Institute serve the central, southern, and Delta regions of Illinois. These rural communities have elevated poverty rates, are medically under-served, and have disparately high cancer incidence and mortality. SIUSM and the NCI-designated Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) at Washington University in Saint Louis (WUSTL) established this Partnership to promote cancer research at SIUSM and reduce these disparities. Our overall aims in this P20 application are to build cancer research capacity at SIUSM, support SIUSM faculty in transitioning to NIH-funded cancer disparities research, and expand SCC's rural cancer research reach and activity. We aim to foster the development of trainees and junior faculty at both institutions to help them develop rural cancer disparity research and will provide opportunities for all investigators to engage in cross-institutional research and mentoring. Our Administrative Core provides the leadership and management to help us achieve these goals and grow our Partnership. This Core is led by the two Principal Investigators, supported by an Executive Committee representing Program Leaders and stakeholders from each partner site. An Internal Advisory Committee representing leadership from SIUSM, WUSTL, and the comprehensive cancer center (SCC) will provide oversight, evaluation, and direction. We added a Community Advisory Committee to assist us in setting priorities and developing community engagement strategies. The Administrative Core Aims are: 1) Promote and implement a pilot research program that provides investigators with research funding, experience, and preliminary data for future NIH RO1/R21 grants. This program, initiated in 2013, has already linked our faculty, and is helping SIUSM investigators build their research programs and allowing SCC investigators to expand their rural cancer disparities research. We funded one pilot internally last year; another is included with this application. 2) SCC will provide SIUSM faculty access to learning activities, such as sharing seminars through video/web uplink. Together we will develop a short-term investigator exchange program and a rural health seminar series as part of the Training Program. 3) Building on existing activities, we 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, in which we will enroll SIUSM faculty. SIUSM faculty will be included in SCC's comprehensive and integrated mentoring activities. 4) We will refine our evaluation framework to measure effectiveness of our Partnership efforts. The Core will also work to ensure sustainability of the Partnership and activities through planning and submitting future grant applications. In whole, we believe these activities will create a sustainable and effective cancer disparities research program at SIUSM and enhance that at SCC.

摘要（行政核心） 低收入农村社区经历了巨大的癌症健康差异，包括较低的筛查率， 发病率增加，后期检测，生存率较差和更高的死亡率。伊利诺伊州南部 大学医学院（SIUSM）及其Simmons癌症研究所为中央，南部和 伊利诺伊州的三角洲地区。这些农村社区的贫困率升高，在医疗方面不足，并且 癌症发病率和死亡率不同。 Siusm和NCI指定的现场癌症中心 （SCC）位于圣路易斯（Wustl）的华盛顿大学（WUSTL）建立了这种促进癌症的伙伴关系 在SIUSM进行研究并减少这些差异。我们在P20应用程序中的总体目标是建立癌症 SIUSM的研究能力，支持SIUSM教师过渡到NIH资助的癌症差异研究， 并扩大SCC的农村癌症研究范围和活动。我们旨在促进受训者的发展和 这两个机构的初级教师都可以帮助他们发展农村癌症差异研究，并将提供 所有调查人员的机会进行跨机构研究和指导。我们的行政 Core提供了领导和管理，以帮助我们实现这些目标并发展合作伙伴关系。这 核心由两位主要研究人员领导，由代表计划的执行委员会支持 每个合作伙伴站点的领导者和利益相关者。代表领导的内部咨询委员会 来自Siusm，Wustl和综合癌症中心（SCC）将提供监督，评估和 方向。我们添加了一个社区咨询委员会，以协助我们确定优先级并制定 社区参与策略。行政核心目的是：1）促进和实施飞行员 研究计划为研究人员提供研究资金，经验和未来的初步数据 NIH RO1/R21赠款。该计划于2013年启动，已经与我们的教职员工联系在一起，并正在帮助SIUSM 调查人员建立他们的研究计划，并允许SCC研究人员扩大其农村癌症 差异研究。去年，我们在内部为一名飞行员提供了资金。此应用程序中包含另一个。 2）SCC 将为SIUSM教师访问学习活动，例如通过视频/网络上行链路共享研讨会。 我们将共同制定一个短期研究者交流计划和一个农村健康研讨会系列 培训计划。 3）在现有活动的基础上，我们将分享教师早期职业的策略 发展。特别是，Wustl的公共卫生科学系提供了10个月的硕士学位 人口健康科学，我们将在其中入学SIUSM教师。 SIUSM教师将包括在SCC的 全面而综合的指导活动。 4）我们将完善我们的评估框架以衡量 我们的伙伴关系努力的有效性。核心还将努力确保合作伙伴关系的可持续性和 通过计划和提交未来赠款申请的活动。总的来说，我们相信这些活动将 在SIUSM创建可持续有效的癌症差异研究计划，并在SCC上增强该计划。
