DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Action is urgently needed to address persistent disparities in cancer control and prevention that harm the health of Latino populations. To meet this need, we propose a comprehensive set of research, education, and training activities to be carried out at the national level and in regional centers in California, Florida, New York, and Texas by an established network of investigators uniquely qualified to understand issues from the perspectives of their diverse populations and to serve as leaders and role models for influencing change and fostering a new generation of Latino scientists and policy advocates. Research activities will include: 1) development of disparity-related pilot projects for proposals to obtain independent NCI funding for Latino scientists; 2) national, regional, and local policy studies analyzing factors influencing disparities in access to cancer control and prevention, and the capacities of advocates concerned with this issue; and 3) multi-site evaluation of an experimental intervention designed to improve women's capacities for navigating health care systems that provide cancer screening and care. Education activities at the national and regional levels will include: 1) multi-modal public education and outreach and 2) professional education and outreach for clinical providers and for organizations concerned with policies that influence access to cancer screening and care. Training activities will consist of mentoring and pilot research support for students and junior scientists developing careers in research aimed at understanding and reducing disparities that affect the cancer health of Latinos. This work will be conducted in three phases. In Phase I, network infrastructure will be established, administrative and communications systems go online, and preparations for Phase II activation completed. Phase II will commence all education, research, and training programs and activities. Phase III will continue Phase II programs with the addition of the creation of new project funding streams and increased collaborations and partnerships to enhance potential long-term sustainability of the network

描述（由申请人提供）： 迫切需要采取行动，解决在癌症控制和预防方面持续存在的差距，这些差距损害了拉丁美洲人口的健康。 为了满足这一需要，我们建议在国家一级以及在加州、佛罗里达、纽约、和得克萨斯州由一个建立的调查网络，独特的资格，以了解问题的角度来看，其不同的人口，并作为领导者和榜样，影响变革和培养新一代的拉丁美洲人科学家和政策倡导者。 研究活动将包括：1）为获得独立的NCI资助拉丁美洲科学家的建议制定与健康相关的试点项目; 2）国家，地区和地方政策研究，分析影响癌症控制和预防的差异因素，以及与此问题有关的倡导者的能力;和3）对旨在提高妇女驾驭提供癌症筛查和护理的医疗保健系统的能力的实验性干预措施进行多地点评估。 国家和区域层面的教育活动将包括：1）多模式的公共教育和外联; 2）针对临床提供者和与影响癌症筛查和护理的政策有关的组织的专业教育和外联。 培训活动将包括为学生和初级科学家提供指导和试点研究支持，以发展研究事业，旨在了解和减少影响拉丁美洲人癌症健康的差异。 这项工作将分三个阶段进行。 在第一阶段，将建立网络基础设施，行政和通信系统上网，并完成第二阶段启动的准备工作。 第二阶段将开始所有的教育、研究和培训方案和活动。 第三阶段将继续第二阶段的计划，增加新的项目资金流，增加合作和伙伴关系，以提高网络的潜在长期可持续性
