DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this application is to establish a Regional Community Networks Program known as the Minnesota Community Networks Center to Reduce Cancer Disparities among racial/ethnic minority populations in Minnesota with an initial focus on Minnesota's growing new immigrant and refugee populations using Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. While Minnesota is often perceived to have few minorities, the state's racial/ethnic distribution has changed substantially. Between 1990 and 2008, African Americans in Minnesota grew from 94,944 to 225,648 (138% growth) Latinos grew from 53,884 to 200,736 (273% growth), Asians grew from 77,886 to 180,835 (132% growth), compared to whites who grew from 4,130,395 to 4,559,336 (10% growth). During the same period, the population of foreign-born individuals in Minnesota increased from 260,000 to 340,000. The proposed Center will build on existing statewide cancer prevention and control infrastructure known as Minnesota Cancer Alliance, and on established successful university-community partnerships. In addition to the CNP headquarters at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, the Center will have sites in Willmar (West Central) and Owatonna (Southern), both rural communities in Minnesota. The proposed CNP center will comprise of four cores: Administrative Core, Community Outreach Core, Research Core, and Training Core. The Administrative Core will provide overall leadership and organizational infrastructure for the Center; the Community Outreach Core will collaborate with established partners. New American Community Services (African immigrants) and Centro Campesino (Latino immigrants) increasing community members' awareness of, knowledge about, and access to cervical and breast cancer screening; the Research Core will support one full project (tobacco use) and one pilot research project (cervical cancer screening); the Training Core will prepare a cadre of scientists and health professionals with focus on underrepresented groups across Minnesota to incorporate CBPR into their cancer research and promote their capacity to achieve sustained career success as community-engaged health disparity researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的总体目标是建立一个称为明尼苏达社区网络中心的区域社区网络计划，以减少明尼苏达州少数种族/族裔人口之间的癌症差异，最初重点关注明尼苏达州不断增长的新移民和难民人口，使用基于社区的参与性研究 (CBPR) 方法。虽然明尼苏达州通常被认为少数族裔很少，但该州的种族/民族分布已经发生了很大变化。 1990 年至 2008 年间，明尼苏达州的非裔美国人从 94,944 人增加到 225,648 人（增长 138%），拉丁裔从 53,884 人增加到 200,736 人（增长 273%），亚裔从 77,886 人增加到 180,835 人（增长 132%），而白人则从 4,130,395 人增加到至 4,559,336 (10% 生长）。同一时期，明尼苏达州外国出生人口从 26 万增加到 34 万。拟议的中心将建立在现有的全州癌症预防和控制基础设施（称为明尼苏达癌症联盟）以及已建立的成功的大学与社区合作伙伴关系的基础上。除了位于明尼苏达大学双城分校的 CNP 总部外，该中心还将在威尔马（中西部）和奥瓦通纳（南部）这两个明尼苏达州的农村社区设有站点。拟议的 CNP 中心将由四个核心组成：行政核心、社区外展核心、研究核心和培训核心。行政核心将为中心提供全面领导和组织基础设施；社区外展核心将与既定的合作伙伴合作。新美国社区服务（非洲移民）和 Centro Campesino（拉丁裔移民）提高社区成员对宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查的认识和了解；研究核心将支持一项完整项目（烟草使用）和一项试点研究项目（宫颈癌筛查）；培训核心将培养一支由科学家和卫生专业人员组成的骨干队伍，重点关注明尼苏达州代表性不足的群体，将 CBPR 纳入他们的癌症研究中，并提高他们作为社区参与的健康差异研究人员实现持续职业成功的能力。
