This application seeks conference grant funding to the Chronic Disease Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine to support a series of scientific dissemination conferences sponsored with the Intercultural Cancer Council (ICC) over the years 2005-2009. Specific Aims are to (1) convene the 10th and 11th Biennial Symposia; (2) convene semi-annual national Educational Forum meetings, scheduled between the Biennial Symposia; (3) utilize the ICC National Network to follow-up and reinforce accomplishments of the Biennial Symposia and Educational Forum meetings; and (4) utilize the ICC National Network to disseminate evidence based research results and funding opportunities related to cancer in minority and medically underserved populations. Background and Significance. There is a disproportionate incidence of cancer morbidity and mortality among minorities and persons of low-level income in the United States. To address this unequal burden of cancer, the Biennial Symposia and national Educational Forum meetings represent a tremendous resource and opportunity for professional development and networking as well as dissemination of evidence based research and best practices. Furthermore, the communication channel is two-way, providing an opportunity for NCI and other federal agencies to hear from representatives of grass-roots organizations and local agencies. The Biennial Symposium and Educational Forum meetings are thus excellent examples of the public-private, partnerships that will be necessary to properly address cancer disparities. Methods. The Biennial Symposia on Minorities, the Medically Underserved & Cancer and semiannual ICC Educational Forum meetings include formal presentations, panel discussions, question and answer sessions, posters, networking/caucusing opportunities, and sessions on national cancer policy. These conferences are planned and designed to (1) exchange the latest scientific and treatment information and share strategies for reducing the disproportionate incidence of cancer morbidity and mortality among minorities and the medically underserved in the United States; (2) enhance the competency of health care providers, laypersons and survivors in the areas of primary and secondary cancer prevention, early detection and treatment; (3) promote culturally competent cancer care and services and ethnically balanced research; (4) address topics newly identified through evaluation data from the previous Biennial Symposia and ICC Educational Forum meetings as well as the ongoing ICC planning process; and (5) provide a forum for federal agencies such as NCI to share their strategies and responses to the unequal burden of cancer among minority and medically underserved populations. Evaluation. Traditional hard copy evaluation forms are completed onsite at the Symposium and Educational Forum meetings. As of 2004, we are also using online electronic survey software which is providing response rates of > 50%. In addition, the semi-annual Educational Forum meetings are purposefully scheduled in the interim between Biennial Symposia so that the activities and results of the preceding meeting can be assessed and utilized in the planning process for future meetings.

本申请为贝勒医学院慢性疾病研究中心寻求会议资助，以支持2005-2009年间由跨文化癌症委员会（ICC）赞助的一系列科学传播会议。具体目标是：(1)召开第十届和第十一届双年研讨会；（二）每半年召开一次全国教育论坛会议，安排在两年度学术研讨会之间；(3)利用国际商会国家网络跟进和加强两年期专题讨论会和教育论坛会议的成果；(4)利用国际商会国家网络传播与少数民族和医疗服务不足人群癌症相关的基于证据的研究成果和资助机会。背景与意义。在美国，少数民族和低收入人群的癌症发病率和死亡率不成比例。为了解决这种不平等的癌症负担，两年一次的专题讨论会和国家教育论坛会议为专业发展和网络以及传播基于证据的研究和最佳做法提供了巨大的资源和机会。此外，沟通渠道是双向的，为国家癌症研究所和其他联邦机构提供了听取基层组织和地方机构代表意见的机会。因此，两年一次的专题讨论会和教育论坛会议是适当解决癌症差异所必需的公私伙伴关系的极好例子。方法。关于少数民族、医疗服务不足和癌症的两年一次专题讨论会和半年一次的国际商会教育论坛会议包括正式演讲、小组讨论、问答环节、海报、网络/核心会议机会以及国家癌症政策会议。这些会议的计划和目的是：(1)交流最新的科学和治疗信息，并分享战略，以减少美国少数民族和医疗服务不足人群中不成比例的癌症发病率和死亡率；(2)提高卫生保健提供者、非专业人员和幸存者在原发性和继发性癌症预防、早期发现和治疗方面的能力；(3)促进具有文化竞争力的癌症护理和服务以及种族平衡的研究；(4)讨论通过前两届专题讨论会和国际商会教育论坛会议的评估数据以及正在进行的国际商会规划过程新确定的主题；(5)为NCI等联邦机构提供一个论坛，分享他们在少数民族和医疗服务不足人群中不平等的癌症负担方面的战略和应对措施。评估。传统的纸质评估表格在研讨会和教育论坛会议现场完成。截至2004年，我们还使用在线电子调查软件，该软件的回复率为50%。此外，每半年举行一次的教育论坛会议有目的地安排在两年期专题讨论会之间，以便可以评估前一次会议的活动和结果，并在未来会议的规划过程中加以利用。
