DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Action is urgently needed to address persistent disparities in cancer control and prevention that harm the health of Hispanic/Latino (HL) populations. This proposal, "Redes en Accion: The National Latino Cancer Research Network", presents a comprehensive set of outreach, research and training activities to be carried out nationally 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 HL scientists. Redes activities will include: 1) community outreach for cancer health education to promote cancer control and prevention; 2) development of cancer health disparity-related, evidence-based ROl and R03 research; and 3) training and mentoring for junior and early-career HL scientists that facilitate scientific education and accelerate independent NCI finding. Regional and national outreach activities will feature multi-modal public cancer education that emphasizes cancer survivorship awareness and increased beneficial survivorship services provided by cancer prevention groups, such as the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The ROl research project will launch a multi-site evaluation of an experimental intervention to improve cancer survivorship quality of life for low-income HLs and the ROS will assess an HL-focused tobacco cessation self-help Internet portal The training component will offer a robust mix of seminars, fellowships and online tools to increase grantsmanship to prepare and spur independent HL research career development. Redes, an already mature network that links HL researchers and communities, will capitalize on its vast experience to make more expansive strides to reduce HL cancer health disparities. Since 2000, Redes has conducted extensive community-based cancer education across the nation, trained more than 200 Latino scientists and successfully leveraged $900,000 among 18 junior faculty pilot investigators into $96 million in successive research funding.

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长期存在的损害拉美裔/拉丁裔(HL)人口健康的差距。这项名为“Redes en Accion：全国拉丁裔癌症研究网络”的提议提出了一套全面的外展、研究和培训活动，将在全国范围内以及在加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州、纽约和德克萨斯州的区域中心由成熟的研究人员网络开展，这些研究人员具有从不同人群的角度理解问题的独特资质，并成为影响变革和培养新一代HL科学家的领导者和榜样。REDES的活动将包括：1)社区推广癌症健康教育，以促进癌症控制和预防；2)开发与癌症健康差异相关的循证ROL和R03研究；以及3)培训和指导初级和早期职业HL科学家，以促进科学教育和加速独立的NCI发现。区域和国家外展活动将以多模式的公共癌症教育为特色，强调癌症生存意识和兰斯·阿姆斯特朗基金会等癌症预防团体提供的更多有益的生存服务。ROL研究项目将对一项旨在提高低收入HLS癌症生存生活质量的实验干预措施进行多地点评估，ROS将评估一个以HL为重点的戒烟自助互联网门户网站。培训部分将提供研讨会、奖学金和在线工具的强大组合，以增加准备和刺激独立HL研究职业发展的资质。Redes是一个已经成熟的连接HL研究人员和社区的网络，它将利用其丰富的经验，在减少HL癌症健康差距方面取得更大的进展。自2000年以来，Redes在全国范围内开展了广泛的以社区为基础的癌症教育，培训了200多名拉丁裔科学家，并成功地从18名初级教员试点调查人员中筹集了90万美元，为后续的研究提供了9600万美元的资金。
