UC Davis Multi-Disciplinary Cancer Research Training Program to Advance Precision Cancer Prevention and Care in Latin America. - PROJECT ABSTRACT Breast cancer incidence among Hispanics/Latino women in the United States has risen steadily since 2012, with annual growth rates now exceeding those observed among non-Hispanic White women (1.6% vs. 1.1%), signaling a growing burden of a major common cancer. Concurrently, Hispanics experience a disproportionate burden of infection-related cancers, with approximately 36% higher risk of stomach and liver cancers. These trends may be attributable to a convergence of factors including genetic ancestry, environmental exposures, behavioral risk factors, gaps in prevention and early detection, comorbidities, and challenges to accessing cancer care. Together, they highlight an urgent and evolving cancer burden within the rapidly growing Latino population in the United States (U.S.), which exceeds 60 million individuals and represents one of the youngest and fastest-growing demographic groups in the U.S. Addressing this growing and complex cancer burden in the U.S requires advancing expertise in cancer research and precision cancer medicine, particularly through the development of a globally connected biomedical research workforce capable of advancing precision cancer medicine and delivering measurable improvements in cancer outcomes. This project aims to build such capacity by training and mentoring a globally engaged cancer research workforce and establishing sustained collaborative pipelines in cancer genomics, leveraging integrated population-based datasets and real-world clinical data platforms to conduct reproducible, highimpact research. The program aims to strengthen scientific innovation, enhance the relevance of precision medicine approaches, improve genomic representation, and ultimately improve cancer outcomes for diverse U.S. populations. Building on our strengths, which include extensive expertise on Latin American population demography and cancer genomics as well as funded NIH studies in the region and a strong track record on collaboration and training in several Latin American countries, the overall goals of the UC Davis Multidisciplinary Research Training Program to Advance Precision Cancer Medicine are to: 1) Enhance local capacity for precision cancer medicine research by implementing a curriculum that enables trainees to design and conduct rigorous research using population‑based datasets, clinically annotated biospecimens, and real‑world clinical data. 2) Provide hands-on training on research resource development, including ethics training, biobanking best practices, and cloud-based bioinformatics. 3) Allocate pilot funding for mentored research to strengthen international research capacity and foster sustainable collaborative pipelines. We propose to establish a curriculum to train graduate students and postdoctoral/clinical fellows in precision oncology research. Through this comprehensive program, trainees will be prepared to implement and share their new skills in their home countries and to collaborate with U.S. institutions and investigators.
