## Abstract

Abstract 
With the support of NIH/NCI U54 grant (CA156735) and NIH/NIGMS P20 grant (MD000175), we have 
designated space and essential instruments to establish a Diagnostic and Molecular Histopathology Facility 
(DMHF) at the Julius L. Chambers Biomedical/Biotechnology Research Institute (BBRI) of the North Carolina 
Central University (NCCU). In this renewal U54 partnership between NCCU and Lineberger Comprehensive 
Cancer Center (LCCC), our DMHF has Specific Aims as follows: (1) To further develop a diagnostic and 
molecular histopathology laboratory; (2) To provide histopathological service to research projects in this grant 
proposal and other health disparity studies; (3) To support publications and grant applications when 
histopathology expertise is needed; and (4) To train students, postdocs and technical staff members to use 
histopathological techniques for both research and educational purposes. In summary, the DMHF is expected 
to provide solid technical support to research projects (Full Project 1, Full Project 3 and Pilot Project 2) and 
education during the U54 grant period and in the future. The goal is to ensure the partnership in cancer 
disparity research between NCCU and LCCC a success.
