Objectives: This application seeks conference grant support for four Regional Symposia on Minorities, the Medically Underserved & Cancer per year over the years 2009-2014. The Symposia are sponsored by the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine and the Intercultural Cancer Council. Attendance at each Regional Symposium will be approximately 200, including 35 - 40 students. Total annual participation will thus be approximately 800. Specific Aims: Specific Aims of the Symposia are to: 1. Increase and strengthen linkages between cancer researchers and the community by providing a forum for: * Representatives of the National Cancer Institute and other federal agencies as well as national cancer organizations and cancer researchers to share the latest cancer scientific developments and program initiatives, especially as they relate to minority and underserved populations; and * Patients, survivors, health care providers, and their representative community based organizations to provide feedback to the national agencies and organizations regarding their "on the ground" needs and priorities. 2. Exchange the latest scientific research and treatment information; 3. Share strategies for reducing the disproportionate cancer morbidity and mortality among minorities and the medically underserved in the United States and its territories; 4. Enhance the competence of health care providers, laypersons, and survivors in the areas of primary and secondary cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment; and 5. Promote culturally competent and balanced cancer care, services, and research. Meeting topics: We anticipate variability related to the various minority and underserved groups that are prevalent in given Regions. However, topics will generally focus on cancer survivorship and caregiver issues, cancer data and surveillance, clinical trials, quality of life, pain and palliative care, end-of-life and hospice care, advocacy training, behavioral science, science updates, comprehensive cancer control, cultural competence and health disparities, training in writing grant proposals for community based organizations, health communication, healthy lifestyles, information technology, patient and public education, patient navigation, population science, spirituality and health, and tobacco prevention, cessation, and advocacy.

目的：该申请寻求会议赠款支持，用于2009-2014年期间每年举办的四次少数民族、医疗服务不足和癌症问题区域研讨会。研讨会由贝勒医学院慢性病预防和控制研究中心和跨文化癌症理事会主办。每个区域研讨会的出席人数约为200人，其中包括35 - 40名学生。因此，每年参加的总人数约为800人。 具体目标：专题讨论会的具体目标是： 1.通过提供一个论坛，增加和加强癌症研究人员与社区之间的联系： * 国家癌症研究所和其他联邦机构以及国家癌症组织和癌症研究人员的代表分享最新的癌症科学发展和计划倡议，特别是因为它们涉及少数民族和服务不足的人群; * 患者、幸存者、卫生保健提供者及其代表性的社区组织向国家机构和组织提供关于其“实地”需求和优先事项的反馈。 2.交流最新的科研和治疗信息; 3.分享战略，减少美国及其领土上少数民族和医疗服务不足人群中不成比例的癌症发病率和死亡率; 4.提高卫生保健提供者、非专业人员和幸存者在初级和二级癌症预防、早期发现和治疗领域的能力; 5.促进文化能力和平衡的癌症护理，服务和研究。 会议主题：我们预计与特定地区普遍存在的各种少数民族和服务不足群体有关的变化。然而，主题通常集中在癌症生存和护理人员问题，癌症数据和监测，临床试验，生活质量，疼痛和姑息治疗，临终关怀和临终关怀，宣传培训，行为科学，科学更新，综合癌症控制，文化能力和健康差异，为社区组织撰写赠款提案的培训，健康传播，健康的生活方式，信息技术、患者和公众教育、患者导航、人口科学、精神与健康以及烟草预防、戒烟和宣传。
