2001 年，美国国家癌症研究所 (NCI) 提供资金支持费城托马斯杰斐逊大学金梅尔癌症中心的增加临床和教育研究机会 (ACES) 项目。 ACES 项目使该中心能够系统地开发减少费城非裔美国人癌症健康差异的方法。该项目汇集了社区合作伙伴、临床合作伙伴、癌症预防和控制专家以及 NCI 指定癌症中心的工作人员，制定和实施基于社区的外展教育计划、特殊人群调查员 (SPI) 培训计划以及 SPI 在癌症筛查和临床试验参与方面的试点研究。 5 年后，ACES 项目 1) 组织了指导委员会、专家小组以及社区合作者和临床合作伙伴网络； 2) 为社区护士、社区组织中活跃的非专业健康倡导者以及社区教堂的卫生部实施临床试验教育计划； 3) 指导了4名SPI进行癌症预防和控制研究； 4) 完成SPI试点研究； 5) 利用这些活动获得对癌症健康差异相关研究的支持。该项目在 NCI 指定的癌症中心和与癌症研究相关的非裔美国人之间建立了成功的对话，并使社区的 SPI 能够采用循证干预措施，应用于癌症预防和控制研究。从该项目中吸取的经验教训可以指导今后此类项目的实施。
In 2001, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) provided funds to support the Increasing Access to Clinical and Educational Studies (ACES) Project of the Thomas Jefferson University, Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia. The ACES Project enabled the Center to engage in the systematic development of approaches for reducing cancer health disparities among African Americans in Philadelphia. This project brought together community partners, clinical partners, cancer prevention and control experts, and staff from an NCI-designated cancer center to develop and implement a community-based outreach education program, a special populations investigator (SPI) training program, and SPI pilot studies in cancer screening and clinical trials participation. At the end of 5 years, the ACES Project had 1) organized a steering committee, expert panel, and a network of community collaborators and clinical partners; 2) implemented a clinical trials education program for community-based nurses, lay health advocates active in community organizations, and health ministries in community churches; 3) mentored 4 SPIs in cancer prevention and control research; 4) completed SPI pilot studies; and 5) leveraged these activities to gain support for cancer health disparities related research. The Project established a successful dialogue between an NCI-designated cancer center and the African American population related to cancer research, and enabled SPIs from the community to adapt evidence-informed interventions for application in cancer prevention and control research. Lessons learned from the Project can guide the implementation of such projects in the future.
