$15 million grant spurs cancer collaboration; M. D. Anderson, University of Puerto Rico

stimulate additional project ideas. One of the goals of this comprehensive cross-training program is to increase the number of Hispanic students interested in research careers.

"This collaboration allows PRCC faculty to be on the inside of the latest medical techniques and technology, while M. D. Anderson faculty open a new door to dealing with cancer-related issues in the Hispanic population," says Harry R. Gibbs, M.D., vice president of institutional diversity at M. D. Anderson. "This team effort allows both institutions to learn from the successes of the other, and lays the building blocks for developing more advanced therapies for patients with cancer.

"By learning from physicians already treating patients in Hispanic populations, we will increase our own sensitivity to minority needs," continues Gibbs. "It is our hope that this collaboration not only will improve our level of patient care, but will be the beginning of many long-term partnerships with cancer centers across the nation and the world."

The NCI and the MICCP work as partners by creating opportunities for training, research and outreach by focusing on the importance of detecting cancer early among ethnic minority groups, improving cancer control and prevention within minority and underserved populations and designing support programs aimed at reducing racial and ethnic disparities in cancer incidence and survivorship.
