Abstract A85: Geographic management of cancer health disparities program (GMaP) region 2: An emphasis on regional institutional partnership and collaborative training of future health disparities researchers

Conclusion/Implications: The diversity in GMaP Region 2 and collaborative institutional partners fosters critical and collective endeavors that can potentially advance effective tackling of CHD through training and collaborative team science research. Increasing access to CHD training opportunities for underrepresented investigators, trainees/students and ESIs is an essential step to equip the next generation of researchers with tools required to reduce health outcomes related to CHD. Key to this process are engaging communications, robust partnerhships, and ideas fueled by diverse academic and community members from our region.Citation Format: Kimberly Williams, Khaliah Fleming, Clement K.
