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：本申请，响应RFA-CA-09-032，社区网络计划（U54），建议继续我们充满活力，全面和可持续的计划，以减少乳腺癌，前列腺癌，肺癌和结直肠癌的差异，这些癌症对密歇根州东南部老年人，服务不足的非洲裔美国成年人产生不利影响。在CNP I下，我们动员了非凡的社区伙伴，实施了一个以社区为基础的参与性教育、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严重影响的大城市：底特律、英克斯特、南菲尔德和庞蒂亚克。这个三县地区占密歇根州非裔美国人口的71.3%，占该州贫困人口的42%。在密歇根州东南部，老年非洲裔美国人有较高的贫困率和与医疗服务不足相关的合并症（5,6）。我们的合作调查人员团队和社区伙伴将继续建立我们已建立的伙伴关系。这项工作将由卡尔马诺斯癌症研究所、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。我们的CNP I和现在的CNP II得到了广泛的支持，与我们有密切关系的社区领导人、研究人员、临床医生和政府官员都证明了这一点，他们加入了我们的中心指导委员会和社区咨询小组，并在本申请中提供了支持信。我们提出了一种基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）方法，以实现减少差异的三个目标：继续增加知识、获取和使用有益的生物医学和行为程序，以减少与乳腺癌、前列腺癌、结直肠癌和肺癌有关的差距，在密歇根州东南部的老年人中，服务不足的非洲裔美国成年人；目标2。继续发展和实施循证干预研究，以增加对老年非裔美国人癌症预防、检测和治疗有益的生物医学和行为程序的使用；和Aim 3。招募和培训大量有前途和成功的CBPR新研究人员，以缩小癌症健康差距。
