Deep South Network for Cancer Control

描述(由申请人提供)： 该网络将以评估过程、影响和结果的逻辑模型为指导，将方案投入和活动与方案成果联系起来，并最终与项目的主要目标联系起来。这些目标将通过适当的评估分三个阶段实现。第一阶段将立即开始，包括提高支持以社区为基础的教育、研究和培训的能力。这一阶段将包括三个阶段(扩大南方腹地网络、能力建设和需求/资产评估)。在第二阶段，将制定和实施以社区为基础的参与性研究、教育和培训方案，并分两个阶段完成(制定社区行动计划和实施社区行动计划)。第三阶段将在第一阶段和第二阶段适当发展之后实施，重点是建立南方腹地网络的公信力和可持续性，并将在最后阶段(传播/可持续性)完成。具体目标如下：1)完善目前的组织结构和多学科工作人员；2)加强我们与现有的国家、州和地方合作伙伴的关系；3)加强我们与服务不足的社区的伙伴关系；4)继续与NCI/NIH部门建立伙伴关系，并在机会出现时建立新的关系；5)提高我们识别和专门针对未筛查乳腺癌和宫颈癌的妇女人群的能力，并建立提高对结直肠癌认识的能力；6)为社区参与性教育和培训活动获得非CRCHD资金；7)制定、实施和评估以社区为基础的多层次参与性研究和教育方案，侧重于系统、变革推动者和个人，以减少癌症健康差距；8)制定和实施由CRCHD竞争性或行政补充资助的试点研究项目；9)建立正式的职业发展和培训方案；10)证明在服务不足的人群中更多地参与乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌筛查；11)获得外部资金；12)向地方、州和国家各级的决策者传播和具体提供以证据为基础的信息，以减少差距

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Network will be guided by the Logic Model of evaluation of process, impact and outcome that links program inputs and activities to program outcomes and ultimately to the main goals of the project. These goals will be accomplished in three phases with appropriate evaluation. The first phase will begin immediately and consist of increasing capacity to support community-based education, research and training. This phase will consist of three stages (Expansion of the Deep South Network, Capacity Building, and Needs/Assets Assessment). In Phase II, Community-Based Participatory Research, Education and Training Programs will be developed and implemented, and accomplished in two stages (Development of the Community Action Plan, and Implementation of the Community Action Plan). The third phase, which will be implemented following appropriate development of Phases I and II, will focus on establishment of credibility and sustainability of the Deep South Network and will be accomplished in the final Stage (Dissemination/Sustainability). The Specific Aims are as follows: 1) Refine current organizational structure and multi-disciplinary staff; 2) Enhance our established relationships with existing national, state and local partners; 3) Enhance our established partnerships with underserved communities; 4) Continue established partnerships with NCI/NIH divisions and establish new relationships as opportunities arise; 5) Increase our capacity to identify and specifically target populations of women unscreened for breast and cervical cancer and establish the capacity to increase awareness in colorectal cancer; 6) Obtain non-CRCHD funding for community-based participatory education and training activities; 7) Develop, implement and evaluate a multi-level community-based participatory research and education program that focuses on systems, agents of change and individuals in order to reduce cancer health disparities; 8) Develop and implement pilot research projects funded via competitive or administrative supplements from CRCHD; 9) Establish a formal Career Development and Training Program; 10) Demonstrate increased participation in breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening in underserved populations; 11) Obtain extramural funding; 12) Disseminate and specifically provide evidence-based information for reducing disparities to decision and policy makers at the local, state and national level
