University of Washington (UW) and Black Hills Center for American Indian Health (BHCAIH) seek support for Native People for Cancer Control (NPCC), a currently-funded regional Community Networks Program (CNP). NPCC is organized into an Administrative Core and Community Outreach, Research, and Training Programs. Directorship of NPCC will be shared by Dedra Buchwald, MD, Professor of Medicine and Director, Partnerships for Native Health, UW; and Jeffrey Henderson (Cheyenne River Sioux), MD, MPH, President and CEO of the community-based, non-profit BHCAIH in Rapid City, SD. NPCC serves an 8-state region and is headquartered at UW in Seattle, with 3 additional sites that align geographically with the conduct of our Community Outreach Program activities. Site 1 includes Washington, Alaska, and Oregon; Site 2 includes Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming; and Site 3 includes North and South Dakota. NPCC will include 15 American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) investigators, staff, and partners. AI/ANs have the poorest 5-year survival from all cancers combined among all U.S. racial/ethnic groups,(12) and access to cancer clinical trials is difficult. Our overarching aim, therefore, is to directly contribute to improved cancer health outcomes and quality of life for AI/AN populations, which experience dramatic health inequities. Our central strategy is to capitalize on opportunities and leverage existing resources to pursue an integrated, multifaceted research program that is catalyzed by tight partnerships with Native communities. We will address cancer health issues ranging from prevention and clinical trials to survivorship. Our long-term goal is to generate findings that can be translated into practices and policies that will reduce AI/AN cancer-related health disparities. Thus, our Specific Aims are to: 1) increase cancer education, outreach, health promotion, and prevention efforts among urban and rural AI/ANs through the activities of the Community Outreach Program; 2) conduct 1 Research Project, 2 CNP Pilot Projects, and 2 Training Projects using community-based participatory methods that focus on colorectal cancer screening, health literacy and communication, cancer risk factors and care, and clinical trials education among Al/ANs; 3) train at least 5 AI/AN junior faculty members to conduct research through the efforts of the Training Program; and 4) reduce cancer health disparities by increasing access to, and use of, interventions among AI/AN populations through all NPCC activities. These activities will be coordinated by the Administrative Core. With a wide network of partners, 25 funded cancer-related grants and 54 publications by NPCC-affiliated investigators, NPPC has the essential elements of a successful CNP, both as an individual site and as a member of the CNP network.

华盛顿大学 (UW) 和黑山美洲印第安人健康中心 (BHCAIH) 寻求对原住民癌症控制 (NPCC) 的支持，这是一项目前资助的区域社区网络计划 (CNP)。 NPCC 分为行政核心和社区外展、研究和培训项目。 NPCC 的董事职务将由威斯康星大学医学教授兼本土健康合作伙伴关系主任 Dedra Buchwald 医学博士共同担任； Jeffrey Henderson（夏安河苏族），医学博士、公共卫生硕士，位于南达科他州拉皮德城的社区非营利性 BHCAIH 总裁兼首席执行官。 NPCC 服务于 8 个州的地区，总部位于西雅图的威斯康星大学，另外还有 3 个地点，这些地点在地理位置上与我们的行为一致 社区外展计划活动。站点 1 包括华盛顿州、阿拉斯加州和俄勒冈州；站点 2 包括爱达荷州、蒙大拿州和怀俄明州；站点 3 包括北达科他州和南达科他州。 NPCC 将包括 15 名美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民 (AI/AN) 调查员、工作人员和合作伙伴。 在美国所有种族/族裔群体中，AI/AN 的所有癌症 5 年生存率最差(12)，并且很难进行癌症临床试验。因此，我们的首要目标是直接为改善患有严重健康不平等的 AI/AN 人群的癌症健康结果和生活质量做出贡献。 我们的核心战略是利用机会并利用现有资源来推行综合的、多方面的研究计划，该计划由与土著社区的紧密合作伙伴关系推动。我们将解决从预防、临床试验到生存等一系列癌症健康问题。我们的长期目标是产生可转化为实践和政策的研究结果，以减少 AI/AN 癌症相关的健康差异。因此，我们的具体目标是： 1) 通过社区外展计划的活动，加强城乡 AI/AN 的癌症教育、外展、健康促进和预防工作； 2) 使用基于社区的参与方法开展 1 个研究项目、2 个 CNP 试点项目和 2 个培训项目，重点关注结直肠癌筛查、健康素养和沟通、癌症危险因素和护理以及 Al/AN 中的临床试验教育； 3）通过培训计划培训至少5名AI/AN初级教员进行研究； 4) 通过所有 NPCC 活动增加 AI/AN 人群获得和使用干预措施的机会，从而减少癌症健康差异。这些活动将由行政核心协调。 NPPC 拥有广泛的合作伙伴网络、25 项与癌症相关的资助以及 NPCC 附属研究人员发表的 54 篇出版物，无论作为单个站点还是作为 CNP 网络的成员，NPPC 都具备成功 CNP 的基本要素。
