DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application describes an effort to implement a large-scale, national Community Networks Program (CNP) to reduce cancer health disparities among African Americans. The 15-year old National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer (NBLIC), will utilize its core infrastructure, which includes a National Office; four Regional Research Offices (e.g., Morehouse School of Medicine/Southern; University of Illinois/Midwestern, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science/Western and Morgan State University/Eastern) and 45 volunteer community coalitions in 30 states to reach its overall goal of reducing cancer health disparities for African Americans by developing collaborations that enhance existing community partnerships. These partnerships will address the disconnect between delivery systems and community-based participatory education, research and training in the African American community. With an evidence-based infrastructure, NBLIC III: CNP will enter Phase II of the project performing a national faith based research study and one community-based investigation. Junior and mid-level academic researchers will be recruited via consortium institutions, clinical partners and health professions-based Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Community coalition researchers will be recruited via NBLIC III Regional Research Offices. Community observational studies and intervention trials will focus on those cancer sites with greatest disparity in screening rates and morbidity/mortality. Cancer education activities will include NBLIC II cancer education interventions (e.g., Stay Beautiful/Stay Alive-breast/cervical; Down Home Healthy Living-colorectal; Clearing the Air-lung and For Men Only-prostate). Both academic and community researchers will be provided Technical Assistance Workshops through on-line and regional training opportunities in areas related to grantsmanship. Baseline cancer screening practices are obtained in each research community to present to policy/decision makers for measuring success in lowering cancer disparities.

描述(由申请人提供)： 本申请描述了一项大规模的、全国性的社区网络计划(CNP)的实施工作，以减少非裔美国人之间的癌症健康差距。已有15年历史的全国黑人癌症领导倡议(NBLIC)将利用其核心基础设施，其中包括一个全国办公室、四个区域研究办公室(例如南区莫尔豪斯医学院、伊利诺伊大学中西部分校、查尔斯·R·德鲁医学和科学大学/西部和摩根州立大学/东部)和30个州的45个志愿者社区联盟，以实现其总体目标，即通过发展合作来加强现有的社区伙伴关系，以减少非裔美国人在癌症方面的健康差距。这些伙伴关系将解决提供系统与非裔美国人社区的社区参与性教育、研究和培训之间的脱节问题。有了基于证据的基础设施，NBLIC III：CNP将进入项目的第二阶段，进行一项基于国家信仰的研究和一项基于社区的调查。初级和中级学术研究人员将通过财团机构、临床合作伙伴和历史上以黑人为基础的卫生专业学院和大学招聘。社区联盟研究人员将通过NBLIC III区域研究办公室招募。社区观察性研究和干预试验将集中在筛查率和发病率/死亡率差异最大的癌症地点。癌症教育活动将包括NBLIC II癌症教育干预措施(例如，保持美丽/保持活力-乳房/子宫颈；家庭健康生活-结直肠；净化空气-肺和仅限男性-前列腺癌)。将通过在线和区域培训机会，向学术和社区研究人员提供技术援助讲习班，培训内容涉及与格兰特精神有关的领域。在每个研究界都获得了基线癌症筛查实践，以提供给政策制定者/决策者，以衡量在降低癌症差异方面的成功。
