DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer is now the leading cause of death in the state of North Carolina. In 2006, over 17,000 North Carolinians died from cancer. African Americans carry a disproportionate burden of cancer disease, with higher mortality rates than Caucasians from prostate, colorectal, and breast cancer. The Carolina Community Network Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CCN II) will leverage the myriad successes of CCN I and continue to promote the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach in adhering to the established mission of reducing cancer health disparities among adult African Americans in North Carolina. CCN II will be based at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and will provide a three-pronged research infrastructure that includes: Outreach, Research, and Training. CCN II will continue to work with faith-based and secular community groups in two regional areas in North Carolina that comprise 13 urban and rural counties. CCN II program activities will be undertaken through the coordinating efforts of the Administrative Core, the partnership strengthening activities of the Community Outreach Program and the junior faculty development activities of the Training Program to form a comprehensive, interactive, community-academic research center. Specifically, 1) the Administrative core will provide scientific leadership and direction to all three of CCN M's programs, cultivating cohesion and synergy to meet Center goals; 2) the Community Outreach Program will provide needs assessments, culturally sensitive cancer education, and targeted health promotion and dissemination efforts in concert with existing Community Partners; 3) the Training Program will identify, instruct and support the development of early-stage investigators interested in developing their own health disparities research programs using the CBPR approach; and 4) the Research Program will support the conduct of an evidence-based intervention study to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among African Americans using data generated from CCN I preliminary research and existing partnerships.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症现在是北卡罗来纳州死亡的主要原因。2006年，超过17000名北卡人死于癌症。非裔美国人承担着不成比例的癌症疾病负担，前列腺癌、结直肠癌和乳腺癌的死亡率高于白种人。卡罗来纳减少癌症健康差异社区网络中心（CCN II）将利用CCN I的无数成功，并继续促进社区参与式研究（CBPR）方法，坚持减少北卡罗莱纳州成年非洲裔美国人癌症健康差异的既定使命。CCN II将设在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的Lineberger综合癌症中心，并将提供三管齐下的研究基础设施，包括：外展、研究和培训。CCN II将继续与北卡罗莱纳州两个地区的宗教团体和世俗社区团体合作，这两个地区包括13个城市和农村县。CCN II项目活动将通过行政核心的协调努力、社区外展计划的伙伴关系加强活动和培训计划的初级教师发展活动来开展，形成一个全面、互动的社区学术研究中心。
