  The people of West Texas and the contiguous regions of Eastern New 
Mexico and Oklahoma represent an underserved population in terms of 
local access to cancer therapeutics. This funding would support the 
Cancer Center for the South Plains Region which seeks to reduce 
suffering from cancer in the region through education, prevention, and 
early access to state-of-the art cancer therapeutics. The Cancer Center 
will serve the region, state, and nation by decreasing the substantial 
costs associated with the morbidity and mortality from cancer.

  The Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery (CSAR) is a 
federal and state supported program dedicated to expanding recovery 
support and relapse prevention available for students and to serve as a 
demonstration program that can easily be replicated by other 
institutions of higher education. A number of other colleges and 
universities around the country have created college recovery 
communities based on curriculum developed by CSAR.
