DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application, which is being submitted in response to RFA MD-05-002, will allow for a dynamic and unique partnership for community-based participatory research between the award winning Metro Denver Black Church Initiative (MDBCI), Faith & Health Ministries (FHM), and an outstanding group of senior behavioral scientists drawn from the AMC Cancer Research Center, as well as science faculty from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and the University of Colorado Comprehensive Cancer Center. The main goal of this partnership is to reduce cancer-related health disparities among African Americans living in northeast Denver, where nearly 30% of all African-Americans in the State of Colorado reside, representing about 77% of all African Americans living in Denver. Within this area about one-in-three of the adult population are members of churches affiliated with MDBCI. Described in this application is a partnership structure and process that will include Partnership Summits, Research Workshops, a Community Advisory Board and an External Advisory Board, as well as a definitive program of partnership process evaluation, where lessons learned and recommendations will be distilled to benefit future efforts at partnership development, particularly involving faith-based organizations. Other significant features of the proposed collaboration include the theoretical foundations of community-based partnership, incorporating the more contemporary view that such partnership should be based on Community empowerment, self-help and collaboration, and where the goal is community regeneration. An explicit focus on behavioral science theory and Diffusion of Innovative Theory to guide this effort are also noteworthy. As proposed herein, this partnership will seek to pilot test not one but two cancer prevention and control interventions to reduce health disparities, with the long-term vision of extending this research to larger-scale efficacy and effectiveness trials, and to a dissemination phase that would ultimately extend the reach of this research beyond the boundaries of Colorado.

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请是应RFA MD-05-002号文件提交的，旨在为丹佛黑人教会倡议(MDBCI)、宗教与卫生部(FHM)和来自AMC癌症研究中心的一批杰出的资深行为科学家、科罗拉多大学健康科学中心和科罗拉多大学综合癌症中心的教职员工之间建立一个充满活力和独特的社区参与性研究伙伴关系。这一伙伴关系的主要目标是减少居住在丹佛东北部的非裔美国人与癌症相关的健康差距，科罗拉多州近30%的非裔美国人居住在那里，约占生活在丹佛的所有非裔美国人的77%。在这一地区，大约三分之一的成年人口是基督教圣公会附属教会的成员。本申请书描述了伙伴关系的结构和进程，其中将包括伙伴关系峰会、研究研讨会、社区咨询委员会和外部咨询委员会，以及伙伴关系进程评估的最终方案，其中将总结经验教训和建议，以利于未来伙伴关系发展的努力，特别是涉及宗教组织的努力。拟议合作的其他重要特点包括社区伙伴关系的理论基础，纳入了更现代的观点，即这种伙伴关系应建立在社区赋权、自助和协作的基础上，目标是社区复兴。明确关注行为科学理论和创新传播理论来指导这一努力也是值得注意的。如本文所提议的，这一合作伙伴关系将寻求试点测试不是一种而是两种癌症预防和控制干预措施，以减少健康差距，并着眼于将这项研究扩展到更大规模的疗效和有效性试验，以及最终将这项研究的覆盖范围扩展到科罗拉多州以外的传播阶段。
