The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) is located at the United States (US)-Mexico border, a region where more than 91% of the population is Latino/Hispanic. The four counties of the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) account for almost 1.4 million people, many of whom suffer from several different health disparities including obesity, diabetes, and cancer. The School of Medicine (SOM) was founded in 2015 to provide improved health care, medical education, and biomedical research. UTRGV-SOM is strategically positioned to improve the lives and well-being of RGV surrounding communities through innovative research and patient-centered care. UTRGV-SOM attracts and supports research that will help to address the health disparities of the RGV Latino/Hispanic population. As a part of its mission to educate a diverse group of medical students, residents, and future biomedical scientists in cancer and understand cancer disparities at a global level, the first International Conference on Cancer Health Disparities (ICCHD) was held on August 13-14, 2021, in Harlingen, TX, USA. This two-day ICCHD-2021 was organized by the UTRGV-SOM with the support of R13 CA254453. About 200 national and international delegates from 10 countries attended this hybrid meeting in person and through online digital methods. Considering enthusiastic participation from US and Mexico border institutions and international participation, we propose continuation of this International Conference Series. This conference series will be expanded to take advantage of the opportunity for continued medical education for our diverse populations and to continue emphasis on minority health and cancer health disparities in US-Mexico border areas. This conference complements well the mission of the AACR Annual and AACR cancer health disparity meetings. Therefore, UTRGV-SOM respectfully requests R13 support from the NIH NCI for an Annual Research Symposium Series entitled “International Conference on Cancer Health Disparities,” to be held from December 9-10, 2022; December 8-9, 2023; December 7-8, 2024, in the RGV area. The event delegates will be representatives from NIH (NCI/NIMHD), CPRIT, and the City of Harlingen, Edinburg, McAllen, Mission, Texas, in addition to clinicians, faculty, researchers, scientists, bioinformaticians, bioethicists, and others. This International Conference also closely aligns with the mission of the NCI (NCI Global Health Center) and NIMHD, that is, to support global cancer research and cancer health disparity research to advance scientific knowledge and help all people live longer and maintain a high-quality lifestyle. The prime objectives of ICCHD will be 1) To provide a unique platform for scientific discussions between basic, clinical, and translational cancer researchers from institutions on both sides of the US-Mexico border and from other international institutions, 2) To introduce health disparities concepts and educate investigators in global cancer health disparity research and organize community-based participatory research and outreach, and 3) To enable interprofessional and transdisciplinary partnerships to bring awareness to and help eliminate minority health disparities in the U.S. and other countries.

德克萨斯大学里奥格兰德河谷分校（UTRGV）位于美国（US）-墨西哥边境，一个地区 超过 91% 的人口是拉丁裔/西班牙裔 里奥格兰德河谷 (RGV) 的四个县。 近 140 万人，其中许多人存在多种不同的健康差异，包括 医学院 (SOM) 成立于 2015 年，致力于改善健康状况。 UTRGV-SOM 的战略定位是改善人们的生活。 通过创新研究和以患者为中心的护理，提高 RGV 周围社区的福祉。 UTRGV-SOM 吸引并支持有助于解决 RGV 健康差异的研究 作为其教育多元化医学生、住院医师群体的使命的一部分， 和未来癌症领域的生物医学科学家，并了解全球范围内的癌症差异，这是第一个 国际癌症健康差异会议 (ICCHD) 于 2021 年 8 月 13 日至 14 日在哈林根举行 美国德克萨斯州。为期两天的 ICCHD-2021 由 UTRGV-SOM 在 R13 CA254453 的支持下组织。 来自 10 个国家的约 200 名国内外代表亲自参加了这次混合会议 考虑到美国和墨西哥边境机构的热情参与。 和国际参与，我们建议继续举办这个国际会议系列。 系列将扩大，以利用继续医学教育的机会，为我们的多元化 人口并继续重视美墨边境的少数民族健康和癌症健康差异 本次会议很好地补充了 AACR 年度会议和 AACR 癌症健康差异的使命。 因此，UTRGV-SOM 谨请 NIH NCI 为年度研究提供 R13 支持。 题为“癌症健康差异国际会议”的系列研讨会将于 12 月举行 2022年12月9日至10日；2023年12月8日至9日；2024年12月7日至8日，活动代表将在RGV区域举行。 来自 NIH (NCI/NIMHD)、CPRIT 和哈林根市、爱丁堡市、麦卡伦市、米申市、德克萨斯州的代表， 除了教师、研究人员、科学家、生物信息学家、生物伦理学家和其他人。 国际会议也与 NCI（NCI 全球健康中心）和 NIMHD 的使命紧密结合， 即支持全球癌症研究和癌症健康差异研究，以推进科学知识的发展 帮助所有人延长寿命并保持高质量的生活方式 ICCHD 的主要目标是 1) 为基础、临床和转化癌症研究人员之间的科学讨论提供独特的平台 来自美墨边境两侧的机构和其他国际机构，2) 介绍 健康差异概念并教育教育者参与全球癌症健康差异研究和组织 基于社区的参与性研究和推广，以及 3) 实现跨专业和跨学科 合作伙伴关系，以提高人们的认识并帮助消除美国和其他国家的少数族裔健康差异。
