DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): South Carolina Cancer Disparities Community Network N's overarching goal is to contribute materially to: understanding the underlying causes of cancer-related health disparities; discovering and developing effective innovations to lower incidence, improving survival, and reducing suffering; delivering these innovations to high-risk populations and moving them to widespread dissemination. We focus on African Americans (AAs) in South Carolina, a group in a region with much higher-than-average cancer incidence and extraordinarily high mortality given incidence. Our goal will be realized by achieving these Specific Aims: 1. to increase the knowledge base needed to understand which biomedical and behavioral procedures are most likely to prevent and control cancer in the high-risk African-American communities in South Carolina; 2. to develop and test interventions that are likely to reduce cancer incidence, downstage disease at time of diagnosis, increase longevity, and improve quality of life in people with cancer; 3. To deliver interventions shown to be effective to places of greatest receptivity and public health need and to evaluate them in terms of generalizability (i.e., external validity); and 4. To disseminate results from successful interventions in the form of intervention "packages" within our communities in South Carolina and to work with national partners to determine and distinguish universal elements that will work most (or at least many) places and others that are more place- and culture-specific. The success of SCCDCN-ll is predicated on: strong community support; dedication to the principles of community-based participatory research; understanding that the philosophical underpinnings and practical methods of applying knowledge are essentially the same across interdisciplinary, translational and community-based participatory research; that the tripartite missions of research, education, and service are both inseparable and highly interdependent; and that training of the next generation of scientists dedicated to the highest ideals of community-based participatory, interdisciplinary, and translational research is necessary in order to reduce, and then finally eliminate cancer-related health disparities.

描述（由申请人提供）：南卡罗来纳癌症差异社区网络N的总体目标是为以下方面做出重大贡献：了解癌症相关健康差异的潜在原因；发现和发展有效的创新，以降低发病率，改善生存，减少痛苦；向高风险人群提供这些创新，并使其得到广泛传播。我们关注的是南卡罗来纳的非裔美国人（AAs），这个群体的癌症发病率远高于平均水平，鉴于发病率，死亡率也非常高。我们的目标将通过实现这些具体目标来实现：增加所需的知识基础，以了解哪些生物医学和行为程序最有可能预防和控制南卡罗来纳州高风险非洲裔美国人社区的癌症；2. 开发和测试可能降低癌症发病率、在诊断时降低疾病阶段、延长寿命和改善癌症患者生活质量的干预措施；3. 向最容易接受和最需要公共卫生的地方提供证明有效的干预措施，并根据其普遍性（即外部有效性）对其进行评价；和4。在我们南卡罗来纳州的社区内以干预“一揽子计划”的形式传播成功干预的结果，并与国家合作伙伴合作，确定和区分适用于大多数（或至少许多）地方的普遍因素，以及其他更适合地方和文化的因素。sccdcn - ii的成功取决于：强大的社区支持；致力于社区参与性研究的原则；理解跨学科、转化和基于社区的参与性研究的哲学基础和应用知识的实际方法本质上是相同的；科研、教育和服务的三重使命既不可分割又高度相互依存；为了减少并最终消除与癌症相关的健康差距，培养下一代科学家致力于社区参与、跨学科和转化研究的最高理想是必要的。
