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）：南卡罗来纳州癌症差异社区网络N的首要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根本原因;发现和开发有效的创新以降低发病率，提高生存率，减少痛苦;将这些创新提供给高危人群并将其广泛传播。我们关注南卡罗来纳州的非裔美国人（AAs），该地区的癌症发病率远高于平均水平，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：1。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、在诊断时降低疾病分期、延长寿命并改善癌症患者生活质量的干预措施; 3.向最容易接受和最有公共卫生需要的地方提供被证明有效的干预措施，并从普遍性的角度对其进行评估（即，外部有效性）;以及4.在我们南卡罗来纳州的社区内以干预“一揽子”的形式传播成功干预措施的成果，并与国家伙伴合作，确定和区分在大多数（或至少许多）地方有效的普遍要素和更具有地方和文化针对性的其他要素。SCCDCN-II的成功取决于：社区的大力支持;致力于社区参与性研究的原则;理解跨学科、转化和社区参与性研究的哲学基础和应用知识的实际方法基本相同;研究、教育和服务这三方面的任务既不可分割又高度相互依存;培训下一代致力于以社区为基础的参与性、跨学科和转化研究的最高理想的科学家是必要的，以减少并最终消除与癌症有关的健康差距。
