DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Weaving an Islander Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training (WINCART): The overarching goal of the proposed Center is to contribute to the reduction of cancer health disparities among Pacific Islanders (PIs) in Southern California through an integrated program of research, training, and community education utilizing a multi-level, interdisciplinary, approach that is driven by community based participatory research (CBPR) principles. Building upon the successes of our first Community Network Program (CNP) WINCART: Weaving an Islander Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training (U01CA114591/WINCART1), this new Center's programs and cores incorporate the themes of reducing chronic disease mortality and morbidity through lifestyle change (Research Program; Intervention Project), exploring cultural and ethical issues around biobanking to enhance the promise of personalized medicine (Research Program: Pilot Project), increasing prevention and early detection through assessment and community education (Community Outreach Program), and training of early career investigators in CBPR methods (Training Program). Experienced community leaders and researchers will facilitate integration across all Center components (Administrative Core). The overarching CBPR principles and processes in WINCART2 derive from those established in WINCART1, and include: 1) shared participation by both community and academic researchers in the planning, development, implementation and evaluation of community education, research, and training activities; 2) co-learning between all academic and community partners via joint activities in the Center's core, programs, and projects; 3) collaboration mechanisms, through the Center Steering Committee and Community Advisory Groups, that ensure fidelity to CBPR tenets among center partners and trainees; and 4) promotion of lasting community benefits across multiple levels of factors associated with PI cancer health disparities. WINCART2 incorporates the multilevel population health approach to address cancer health disparities, and employs new technologies (including distance learning, electronic surveys and intervention systems) for communication within the Center, dissemination to external audiences, and/aci7ztarion of state-of-the-science research, all in the service of reducing cancer health disparities among PIs.

描述(由申请人提供)：编织岛民癌症意识、研究和培训网络(WINCART)：拟建中心的总体目标是通过一个研究、培训和社区教育的综合计划，在基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)原则的推动下，利用多层次、跨学科的方法，为减少南加州太平洋岛民(PI)的癌症健康差距做出贡献。在我们首个社区网络计划(CNP)WINCART：编织岛民癌症意识、研究和培训网络(U01CA114591/WINCART1)所取得成功的基础上，这个新中心的计划和核心结合了以下主题：通过改变生活方式降低慢性病死亡率和发病率(研究计划；干预计划)；探索围绕生物银行的文化和伦理问题以加强个性化医疗的前景(研究计划：试点计划)；通过评估和社区教育增加预防和早期发现(社区外联计划)，以及培训早期职业研究人员采用CBPR方法(培训计划)。经验丰富的社区领导和研究人员将促进所有中心组件(管理核心)的集成。WINCART2中的CBPR总体原则和流程源自WINCART1中确立的原则和流程，其中包括：1)社区和学术研究人员共同参与社区教育、研究和培训活动的规划、发展、实施和评估；2)通过中心核心、项目和项目的联合活动，所有学术和社区合作伙伴之间共同学习；3)通过中心指导委员会和社区咨询小组的协作机制，确保中心合作伙伴和受训者忠于CBPR原则；以及4)促进与PI癌症健康差异相关的多种因素的持久社区利益。WINCART2结合了多层次人口健康方法来解决癌症健康差距，并采用了新技术(包括远程学习、电子调查和干预系统)在中心内进行沟通、向外部受众传播和/或传播最先进的科学研究，所有这些都是为了减少个人投资机构之间的癌症健康差距。
