DESCRIPTION: This application, in response to RFA-CA-09-032, Community Networks Program (U54), proposes to continue our vibrant, comprehensive, and sustainable program to reduce disparities in breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers that adversely affect older, underserved, African American adults in southeast Michigan. Under CNP I, we have mobilized with extraordinary community partners to implement an integrated system of community-based participatory education, training, and research activities. Our regional CNP II Center will include four large urban areas severely impacted by economic hardship: Detroit, Inkster, Southfield, and Pontiac. This tri-county area accounts for 71.3% of Michigan's African American population and 42% of the state's below poverty population. In SE Michigan, older African Americans have higher rates of poverty and comorbid medical diseases related to being underserved medically (5, 6). Our team of collaborating investigators and community partners will continue to build on our established partnerships. The effort will be led by the Karmanos Cancer Institute, the School of Medicine at Wayne State University, and the Josephine Ford Cancer Center of the Henry Ford Health System. Support for our CNP I and now CNP II is broadly based, demonstrated by the community leaders, researchers, clinicians and public officials with whom we have strong relationships and who have joined our Center Steering Committee and Community Advisory Group, and have written letters of support included in this application. We propose a community based participatory research (CBPR) approach to address three aims for reducing disparities: Aim 1. To continue to increase knowledge, access and use of beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures to reduce disparities related to breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer, among older, underserved African American adults in southeast Michigan; Aim 2. To continue to develop and implement evidence-based intervention research to increase use of beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures for cancer prevention, detection and treatment of older African Americans; and Aim 3. To recruit and train a critical mass of promising and successful new researchers in CBPR to reduce cancer health disparities.

描述：此应用程序，响应RFA-CA-09-032，社区网络计划（U54），建议继续我们的充满活力，全面且可持续的计划，以减少乳房，前列腺，肺和结直肠癌的差异，这些癌症会对老年人，不受欢迎的，不受欢迎的，不受欢迎的非洲裔美国人，在密歇根州东南部。在CNP I下，我们与非凡的社区合作伙伴动员了，以实施基于社区的参与性教育，培训和研究活动的综合系统。我们的区域CNP II中心将包括四个受到经济困难影响的大型城市地区：底特律，墨西斯特，索斯菲尔德和庞蒂亚克。这个三县地区占密歇根州非裔美国人人口的71.3％，占该州低于贫困人口的42％。在密歇根州的SE密歇根州，年长的非洲裔美国人的贫困率较高，并且在医学上服务不足的医疗疾病（5，6）。我们的合作调查人员和社区合作伙伴团队将继续建立在我们既定的合作伙伴关系的基础上。这项工作将由Karmanos癌症研究所，韦恩州立大学医学院和亨利·福特卫生系统的约瑟芬·福特癌症中心领导。对CNP I和现在的CNP II的支持是广泛基于的，由社区领导者，研究人员，临床医生和公职人员与我们建立牢固的关系，并加入了我们的中心指导委员会和社区咨询小组，并已包含在本申请中的支持信。我们提出了一种基于社区的参与性研究（CBPR）方法来解决降低差异的三个目标：目标1。在密歇根州东南密歇根州东南部的老年人，贫乏的非裔美国人中，有益的生物医学和行为程序的知识，获取和使用，以减少与乳房，前列腺，结肠直肠癌和肺癌相关的差异；目的2。继续开发和实施基于证据的干预研究，以增加对预防癌症，检测和治疗非裔美国人的有益生物医学和行为程序的使用；目标3。招募和培训大量有前途且成功的CBPR研究人员，以减少癌症健康差异。
