DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Objectives: This application seeks conference grant support for four Regional Symposia on Minorities, the Medically Underserved & Cancer per year over the years 2009-2014. The Symposia are sponsored by the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine and the Intercultural Cancer Council. Attendance at each Regional Symposium will be approximately 200, including 35 - 40 students. Total annual participation will thus be approximately 800. Specific Aims: Specific Aims of the Symposia are to: 1. Increase and strengthen linkages between cancer researchers and the community by providing a forum for: * Representatives of the National Cancer Institute and other federal agencies as well as national cancer organizations and cancer researchers to share the latest cancer scientific developments and program initiatives, especially as they relate to minority and underserved populations; and * Patients, survivors, health care providers, and their representative community based organizations to provide feedback to the national agencies and organizations regarding their "on the ground" needs and priorities. 2. Exchange the latest scientific research and treatment information; 3. Share strategies for reducing the disproportionate cancer morbidity and mortality among minorities and the medically underserved in the United States and its territories; 4. Enhance the competence of health care providers, laypersons, and survivors in the areas of primary and secondary cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment; and 5. Promote culturally competent and balanced cancer care, services, and research. Meeting topics: We anticipate variability related to the various minority and underserved groups that are prevalent in given Regions. However, topics will generally focus on cancer survivorship and caregiver issues, cancer data and surveillance, clinical trials, quality of life, pain and palliative care, end-of-life and hospice care, advocacy training, behavioral science, science updates, comprehensive cancer control, cultural competence and health disparities, training in writing grant proposals for community based organizations, health communication, healthy lifestyles, information technology, patient and public education, patient navigation, population science, spirituality and health, and tobacco prevention, cessation, and advocacy. Public health Relevance: This application seeks conference grant support for ten (two per year) Symposia on Minorities, the Medically Underserved & Cancer over the years 2009-2014. Specific Aims of the Symposia are to align programs of national organizations with the needs of community based organizations. This forum will provide NCI and other federal agencies as well as national organizations the opportunity to share information including the latest scientific research and treatment information, and enhance the cultural competence of health care providers.

描述(由申请者提供)：目标：本申请寻求在2009-2014年间每年举办四次关于少数群体、医疗服务不足和癌症的区域研讨会的会议赠款支持。研讨会由贝勒医学院慢性病预防和控制研究中心和跨文化癌症理事会主办。每个地区研讨会的出席人数约为200人，其中包括35-40名学生。因此，每年的总参与量将约为800人。 具体目标：研讨会的具体目标是： 1.通过提供一个论坛，增进和加强癌症研究人员与社区之间的联系： *国家癌症研究所和其他联邦机构以及国家癌症组织和癌症研究人员的代表分享最新的癌症科学发展和项目倡议，特别是与少数群体和服务不足的人群有关的倡议；以及 *患者、幸存者、卫生保健提供者及其具有代表性的社区组织向国家机构和组织提供关于其“实地”需求和优先事项的反馈。 2.交流最新的科研和治疗信息； 3.分享战略，以减少美国及其领土上少数族裔和医疗服务不足的人中不成比例的癌症发病率和死亡率； 4.提高卫生保健提供者、非专业人员和幸存者在一级和二级癌症预防、早期发现和治疗领域的能力；以及 5.促进有文化能力和平衡的癌症护理、服务和研究。 会议主题：我们预计与特定地区普遍存在的各种少数群体和服务不足群体有关的可变性。然而，主题一般将集中在癌症生存和照顾者问题，癌症数据和监测，临床试验，生活质量，疼痛和姑息治疗，生命终结和临终关怀，倡导培训，行为科学，科学更新，全面的癌症控制，文化能力和健康差距，为社区组织编写赠款建议的培训，健康沟通，健康的生活方式，信息技术，患者和公共教育，患者导航，人口科学，精神和健康，以及烟草预防，戒烟和倡导。 公共卫生相关性：该申请寻求在2009-2014年间为十个(每年两个)关于少数群体、医疗服务不足和癌症的研讨会提供会议赠款支持。 研讨会的具体目标是使国家组织的计划与社区组织的需求相一致。 该论坛将为NCI和其他联邦机构以及国家组织提供分享信息的机会，包括最新的科学研究和治疗信息，并提高卫生保健提供者的文化能力。
