## Abstract

PROGRAM SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
 The Partnership between the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), Tuskegee University (TU), and
Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) presents a unique opportunity to build on our successful
accomplishments in training and education of the pipeline of future cancer research scientists, with emphasis
on underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities. For this U54 application, The evaluation will be conducted by a
team of evaluators representing each partnering institution, who meet monthly to discuss progress, issues, and
solutions: Dr. Isabel Scarinci (UAB CCC), Dr. Desiree Rivers (MSM), and Mr. Lecarde Webb (TU). Although
they will work together, each will be primarily responsible for specific Cores and Shared Resources. This team
makes recommendations to be implemented administratively by the Principal Investigators with the advice,
guidance, and direction of the Executive Committees (ECs) at each institution, the Partnership Leadership
Committee (PLC), the Internal Advisory Committee, and the Program Steering Committee. These four
committees also provide guidance to the PE Core members on adjustments to evaluation activities. Each Core
and Shared Resource will have its own evaluation plan/worksheet outlining the evaluation questions for each
specific aim, tasks, data collection tools, person responsible for each task, and timeline. The evaluator for each
component will generate quarterly reports to be discussed with the ECs and the PLC. It should be noted that,
although each component will have its own evaluation plan, an integrated evaluation process will be conducted
to synergize all components to achieve the long-term outcomes.
