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.

本申请向贝勒医学院慢性病研究中心寻求会议拨款，以支持跨文化癌症委员会 (ICC) 在 2005 年至 2009 年期间主办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度研讨会； (2) 召开半年一次的国家教育论坛会议，安排在两年一次的研讨会之间； (3) 利用国际商会国家网络跟进和巩固两年一度的研讨会和教育论坛会议的成果； (4) 利用 ICC 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。 背景和意义。 在美国，少数族裔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，两年一度的研讨会和国家教育论坛会议为专业发展和网络以及基于证据的研究和最佳实践的传播提供了巨大的资源和机会。 此外，沟通渠道是双向的，为 NCI 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，两年一度的研讨会和教育论坛会议是公私伙伴关系的绝佳范例，这对于妥善解决癌症差异是必要的。 方法。每两年一次的少数民族、医疗服务不足和癌症研讨会以及半年一次的 ICC 教育论坛会议包括正式演讲、小组讨论、问答会议、海报、交流/预选机会以及国家癌症政策会议。 这些会议的规划和目的是：(1) 交流最新的科学和治疗信息，并分享降低美国少数族裔和医疗服务不足人群中癌症发病率和死亡率不成比例的策略； (2) 提高卫生保健提供者、非专业人士和幸存者在一级和二级癌症预防、早期发现和治疗方面的能力； (3) 促进文化上适宜的癌症护理和服务以及种族平衡的研究； (4) 讨论通过之前的双年度研讨会和 ICC 教育论坛会议以及正在进行的 ICC 规划过程的评估数据新确定的主题； (5) 为 NCI 等联邦机构提供一个论坛，以分享其针对少数族裔和医疗服务不足人群中不平等的癌症负担的策略和应对措施。 评估。 传统的硬拷贝评估表是在研讨会和教育论坛会议上现场填写的。 截至 2004 年，我们还使用在线电子调查软件，其响应率超过 50%。 此外，半年一次的教育论坛会议特意安排在两年一次的研讨会之间，以便可以在未来会议的规划过程中评估和利用前一次会议的活动和结果。
