- Impact/Outcomes of the Partnership: Describe this through innovative measures, scientific models, activities, and/or outcomes in cancer research, cancer training (e.g., students, ESI faculty into tenure track), cancer outreach, and/or cancer education, and through the integration of research activities with other components of research education programs;
- Sustainability: Describe how the program has leveraged funding through other sources (e.g., county, state, or other federal funding; foundation funding), establish additional collaborations; achievements for future PACHE research and training opportunities at both institutions; highlight the partnership’s resources that can be shared with other partnerships and cancer centers (i.e., cell lines, core facility for biostatistical analysis, tools, resources;
