DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term goal of the Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention (NACP) is to eliminate cancer disparities in Native Americans of the southwest. The University of Arizona Cancer Center and Northern Arizona University as NACP, partner with tribal communities to develop research, outreach, and training activities aimed at defining and eliminating obstacles to health equity in areas of Native American cancer incidence, mortality, survivorship, and representation. Expected outcomes include: an increase in the numbers and relevance of cancer-related research projects addressing disparities in cancer among Native Americans of the southwestern US; an increase in the number and diversity of researchers at Northern Arizona University working on cancer-related projects; an increase in the number of university - tribal community partnerships focused on cancer outreach and research; an increase in the numbers of Native American and other students moving into graduate and professional programs focused on health disparities. Aim One: Our Research and Development Core will foster and support culturally-appropriate research capacity at our institutions both through research projects and through faculty recruitment and development. Aim Two: We will honor the culture of the Native American communities we serve by providing opportunities to integrate their values, beliefs and needs into every aspect of the NACP. Aim Three: We will increase the number of culturally competent biomedical researchers and health workers by increasing the number of students, postdocs, and faculty (especially Native Americans) trained in cancer prevention, cancer control, and cancer-related health care policy through our Training Core. NACP has three cancer research projects; (1) Physical activity and cancer among Native American cancer survivors, (2) Functional genetic variants as modifiers of prostate cancer progression in Native Americans and (3) Microbes, bile acids and colorectal cancer.

描述（由申请人提供）：美洲原住民癌症预防伙伴关系（NACP）的长期目标是消除西南部美洲原住民的癌症差异。亚利桑那大学癌症中心和北方亚利桑那大学作为NACP，与部落社区合作开展研究，推广和培训活动，旨在确定和消除美洲原住民癌症发病率，死亡率，生存率和代表性领域的健康公平障碍。预期成果包括：与癌症有关的研究项目的数量和相关性的增加，解决美国西南部美洲原住民之间的癌症差异;北方亚利桑那大学从事癌症相关项目的研究人员的数量和多样性的增加;大学-部落社区合作伙伴关系的数量增加，重点是癌症宣传和研究;美国原住民和其他学生进入研究生和专业课程的人数增加，重点是健康差异。 目标一：我们的研究和发展核心将通过研究项目和教师招聘和发展来促进和支持我们机构的文化适当的研究能力。 目标二：我们将通过提供机会将他们的价值观，信仰和需求融入NACP的各个方面，来荣誉我们所服务的美洲原住民社区的文化。目标三：我们将通过增加学生，博士后和教师（特别是美洲原住民）的数量来增加文化能力的生物医学研究人员和卫生工作者的数量，通过我们的培训核心，在癌症预防，癌症控制和癌症相关的医疗保健政策方面进行培训。NACP有三个癌症研究项目：（1）美国原住民癌症幸存者的身体活动和癌症，（2）功能性遗传变异作为美国原住民前列腺癌进展的调节剂，（3）微生物，胆汁酸和结直肠癌。
