Spirit of Eagles Communitees Network Program

描述(由申请人提供)：独特的文化、地理位置、历史和医疗保健环境结合在一起，在美国的美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民中产生了不寻常的癌症发生模式。“鹰的精神社区网络计划”将是一个全国性的CNP项目，覆盖美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的大大小小、城市和保护区社区。我们的合作伙伴包括学术癌症中心、原住民特定的医疗保健组织、学生组织和癌症倡导团体。此外，我们的跨学科成员擅长于从预防到临终关怀的全面癌症控制。“美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民癌症倡议”[UOI CA86098]是从2000年到2005年作为NCI资助的18个特殊人群网络之一实施的。该网络开展并评估了提高全国部落国家和组织对癌症的认识的努力。美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民癌症领袖倡议[NCI UOI CA 114609]，在社区中被称为“鹰的精神”，从2005年到2010年得到资助，并增加了基于社区的参与性研究，解决与文化相关的教育、培训和研究。我们新的鹰精神社区网络计划(SOE-CNP)将专注于翻译研究、临床试验和持续的CBPR。这项为期五年的研究的目标是通过整合所有项目组成部分来解决这一人群中的癌症差异，从而有效地协调和评估AIAN社区的全国癌症研究计划。这一多学科的国家计划将继续努力，通过社区驱动的伙伴关系实施和评估创新的和文化上合适的研究，以减少癌症健康差异。SOE-CNP将包括四个部分：(1)行政；(2)研究；(3)外联；(4)培训。研究基地是梅奥诊所综合癌症中心，那里的PL是癌症中心人口科学部门的美洲原住民项目主任。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Unique circumstances of culture, location, history and healthcare combine to produce unusual patterns of cancer occurrence among American Indians and Alaska Natives in the United States. The "Spirit of Eagles Community Network Program" will be a national CNP with outreach to American Indian and Alaska Native communities large and small, urban and reservation. Our partnerships encompass academic cancer centers, Native specific health care organizations, student organizations and advocacy cancer groups. Furthermore, our interdisciplinary members are skilled at addressing comprehensive cancer control from prevention through end of life care. "The American Indian / Alaska Native Initiative on Cancer" [UOI CA86098] was implemented from 2000 through 2005 as one of eighteen NCI-funded Special Populations Networks. This Network conducted and evaluated efforts that increased cancer awareness among tribal Nations and organizations throughout the country. The American Indian/Alaska Native Leadership Initiative on Cancer [NCI UOI CA 114609], known in the communities as "the Spirit of Eagles" was funded from 2005 through 2010 and increased community-based participatory research (CBPR) addressing culturally relevant education, training, and research. Our new Spirit of Eagles Community Network Program (SOE-CNP) will focus on translational research, clinical trials, and continued CBPR. The goal of this five year study is to efficiently coordinate and assess a national cancer research program for AIAN communities by integrating all project components to address cancer disparities in this population. This multidisciplinary national program will continue efforts to reduce cancer health disparities by implementing and assessing innovative and culturally appropriate research through community-driven partnerships. The SOE-CNP will include four components: (1) Administrative; (2) Research; (3) Outreach and (4) Training. The research base is Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center where the Pl is the Director of Native American Programs within the Population Sciences section of the Cancer Center.
