DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Puerto Rico Cancer Center (PRCC) requests $120,000 for partial support of "Puerto Ricans and Cancer: The Unequal Burden," a research conference focused on Mainland US and Island Puerto Ricans (PRs), and for a small Leadership Institute meeting; both will be in San Juan, PR, September 2005, and 2006, respectively. Over 3 million PRs reside in the Mainland US; nearly 4 million live in PR; in 8 states PRs are the majority Hispanic/Latino population. The proposed national research conference will be an important first step in the development of an informed, coherent cancer control plan for PRs. The specific aims are to: 1) deliver/ clarify research information on cancer and factors contributing to health/healthcare disparities among PRs, 2) begin to translate research information into action strategies for reducing those disparities, 3) disseminate conference information widely on the Mainland and the Island, and 4) create new collaborative research and action agendas. The aims advance PRCC's goals to provide PRs "access to research driven cancer care ...and decrease health care disparities." They also advance NIH Program Announcement (PAR-03-176) goals. PRCC will use its mailing lists and those of the American Cancer Society and the Intercultural Cancer Council to invite diverse Mainland US and Island cancer scientists, health professionals, survivors, academic and community leaders, and government representatives. Dr. Reynold Lopez, PRCC Director, will manage the project. Up to 200 individuals are expected to attend. The project is significant and innovative because it is the first national cancer conference on PRs. Using large plenary and small group and work sessions and panels, the conference will present and examine information on topics across the cancer control continuum from disease prevention to end-of-life care, including genetics, quality of cancer care, survivorship, risk factors and surveillance. The Leadership Institute will enhance existing and create new collaborative efforts to reduce cancer's undue burden among PRs.

描述(由申请人提供)：波多黎各癌症中心(PRCC)请求提供120,000美元的部分资助，用于“波多黎各人与癌症：不平等的负担”，这是一个关注美国本土和波多黎各岛民(PR)的研究会议，以及一个小型领导力研究所会议；两者将分别于2005年9月和2006年在美国俄勒冈州的圣胡安举行。 超过300万名PR居住在美国大陆；近400万人生活在PR中；在8个州，PR是大多数拉美裔/拉丁裔人口。拟议的全国研究会议将是为PR制定知情的、连贯的癌症控制计划的重要的第一步。会议的具体目标是：1)提供/澄清关于癌症和造成公关人员健康/保健差距的因素的研究信息；2)开始将研究信息转化为减少这些差距的行动战略；3)在大陆和岛上广泛传播会议信息；以及4)创建新的合作研究和行动议程。这些目标推进了PRCC的目标，即为PR提供“获得研究驱动的癌症治疗……并减少医疗保健差距”的目标。他们还推进了NIH计划宣布(PAR-03-176)的目标。 PRCC将利用其邮件列表以及美国癌症协会和跨文化癌症理事会的邮件列表，邀请美国大陆和岛上不同的癌症科学家、卫生专业人员、幸存者、学术和社区领袖以及政府代表。PRCC主任雷诺德·洛佩兹博士将管理该项目。预计将有多达200人参加。该项目具有重大意义和创新性，因为它是第一次关于PR的全国癌症会议。 会议将通过大的全体会议和小的小组会议以及工作会议和小组讨论，介绍和审查从疾病预防到临终关怀的整个癌症控制连续体的主题，包括遗传学、癌症护理的质量、存活率、风险因素和监测。领导力研究所将加强现有的合作努力，并创造新的合作努力，以减少公关人员中癌症的不必要负担。
