(1/2) Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE)

项目概要：总体 太平洋岛屿癌症健康公平伙伴关系（PIPCHE）是一个17年的合作， 关岛大学（UOG）和夏威夷大学癌症中心（UHCC）继续推进 癌症健康公平，提高癌症研究和教育能力，减少癌症 太平洋岛屿人口的差异。太平洋岛民血统的美国人是一个高度不足， 癌症负担不同的弱势少数群体，包括癌症患者中 以及生物医学研究人员和医疗保健提供者，这进一步加剧了差距。的 总体目标和长期目标是促进癌症健康公平和减轻癌症的影响 通过提高夏威夷、关岛和夏威夷的癌症研究领导能力和能力， 和美国附属太平洋岛屿，其中包括太平洋岛屿人口， 这个项目作为唯一的国家癌症研究所资助的伙伴关系，为代表性不足的太平洋地区服务 在岛屿地区，PIPCHE将通过以下具体目标实现其目标： 以太平洋岛屿人口为重点的癌症研究项目的多样化组合，包括临床，基础和 人口健康科学，（2）与地方和区域太平洋岛屿社区组织合作， 与代表性不足的太平洋岛屿人口合作，促进癌症健康公平， 研究培训和劳动力发展的机会，（3）维持，加强，并不断 评估所有伙伴关系的研究，核心活动和研究教育计划，（4）加强和 实施循证的、相关的、与癌症有关的公共卫生干预措施， 与代表性不足的社区以及代表性不足的社区内的控制策略，以及（5）扩大科学合作 在PIPCHE成员和两个机构内的其他教师，重点是招募早期 太平洋岛屿血统的舞台调查员。PIPCHE将通过持续投资实现这些目标， 四个核心（癌症外展，研究教育，规划和评估，以及管理）， 提供伙伴关系的基础设施和治理。拟议的共享资源（生物统计学， 流行病学，信息技术和癌症登记）将提供必要的技术和科学 支持PIPCHE学生学者，学员，以及拟议的全面研究项目和试点项目 专门针对太平洋岛屿人口的癌症差异。利用其癌症权益弧， 该方案确定了10个主要领域（教育/卫生知识、政策、环境、生活方式， 文化/社区、生物学、治疗、医疗保健获取、心理社会和社会经济状况）， 影响太平洋岛民癌症健康差距/公平。每个研究项目，核心， 基础设施影响一个或多个领域，因此，有关PIPCHE工作行动的知识 作为个人作为一个团队，在努力实现太平洋癌症健康公平的同时，

PROJECT SUMMARY: OVERALL The Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE) is a 17-year collaboration between the University of Guam (UOG) and the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center (UHCC) that continues to advance cancer health equity, increase the cancer research and education capacity, and decrease significant cancer disparities in Pacific Islands Populations. Americans of Pacific Islander ancestry are a highly underserved and vulnerable minority with a disparate cancer burden, including significant underrepresentation among cancer and biomedical researchers and healthcare providers, which further exacerbates the disparities. The overarching goal and long-term objective are to promote cancer health equity and mitigate the impact of cancer on Pacific Island Populations through increasing cancer research leadership and capacity in Hawai‘i, Guam and the United States Affiliated Pacific Islands, which comprise the Pacific Island Populations addressed by this project. As the only National Cancer Institute-funded Partnership serving the underrepresented Pacific Island region, PIPCHE will accomplish its goals through the following specific aims: (1) Continue to develop a diverse portfolio of Pacific Island Population-focused cancer research projects that include clinical, basic, and population health sciences, (2) Collaborate with local and regional Pacific Island community organizations that work with underrepresented Pacific Island Populations to promote cancer health equity and enhance opportunities for research training and workforce development, (3) Sustain, strengthen, and continuously evaluate of all the Partnership’s research, core activities, and research education programs, (4) Enhance and implement evidence-based, relevant, cancer-related public health interventions and cancer, prevention and control strategies with and within underrepresented communities, and (5) Expand the scientific collaboration among PIPCHE members and other faculty within the two institutions, with an emphasis on recruiting Early Stage Investigators of Pacific Island ancestry. PIPCHE will carry out these aims by continued investment in four Cores (Cancer Outreach, Research Education, Planning and Evaluation, and Administration), which provide the infrastructure and governance of the Partnership. The proposed Shared Resources (Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Information Technology, and Cancer Registry) will provide essential technical and scientific support to the PIPCHE student scholars, trainees, and the proposed full research projects and pilot projects that specifically address the cancer disparities of the Pacific Island Populations. Using its arc of cancer equity, PIPCHE has identified 10 major domains (education/health literacy, policy, environment, lifestyle, culture/community, biology, treatment, healthcare access, psycho-social, and socio-economic status) that influence Pacific Islander cancer health disparities/equity. Each of the research projects, cores, and infrastructure affects one or more of the domains, and therefore knowledge about the action of PIPCHE’s work is value added and helpful, as individuals as a team, while working towards Pacific cancer health equity.
