DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Action is urgently needed to address persistent disparities in cancer control and prevention that harm the health of Hispanic/Latino (HL) populations. This proposal, "Redes en Accion: The National Latino Cancer Research Network", presents a comprehensive set of outreach, research and training activities to be carried out nationally and in regional centers in California, Florida, New York and Texas by an established network of investigators uniquely qualified to understand issues from the perspectives of their diverse populations and to serve as leaders and role models for influencing change and fostering a new generation of HL scientists. Redes activities will include: 1) community outreach for cancer health education to promote cancer control and prevention; 2) development of cancer health disparity-related, evidence-based ROl and R03 research; and 3) training and mentoring for junior and early-career HL scientists that facilitate scientific education and accelerate independent NCI finding. Regional and national outreach activities will feature multi-modal public cancer education that emphasizes cancer survivorship awareness and increased beneficial survivorship services provided by cancer prevention groups, such as the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The ROl research project will launch a multi-site evaluation of an experimental intervention to improve cancer survivorship quality of life for low-income HLs and the ROS will assess an HL-focused tobacco cessation self-help Internet portal The training component will offer a robust mix of seminars, fellowships and online tools to increase grantsmanship to prepare and spur independent HL research career development. Redes, an already mature network that links HL researchers and communities, will capitalize on its vast experience to make more expansive strides to reduce HL cancer health disparities. Since 2000, Redes has conducted extensive community-based cancer education across the nation, trained more than 200 Latino scientists and successfully leveraged $900,000 among 18 junior faculty pilot investigators into $96 million in successive research funding.

描述（由申请人提供）：迫切需要采取行动，以解决损害西班牙裔/拉丁裔（HL）人群健康的癌症控制和预防方面的持续差异。这一提议，“Redes en Accion：国家拉丁美洲癌症研究网络”，提出了一套全面的推广，研究和培训活动，将在全国和区域中心在加州，佛罗里达，纽约和得克萨斯州通过一个已建立的调查网络，这些调查人员具有独特的资格，能够从不同人口的角度理解问题，并作为影响变革的领导者和榜样，培养新一代HL科学家该网络的活动将包括：1）社区癌症健康教育外展，以促进癌症控制和预防; 2）发展癌症健康相关的循证RO 1和R 03研究;以及3）为初级和早期职业HL科学家提供培训和指导，促进科学教育并加速独立的NCI发现。区域和国家外联活动将以多模式的公共癌症教育为特色，强调癌症生存意识，并增加兰斯·阿姆斯特朗基金会等癌症预防团体提供的有益生存服务。ROl研究项目将启动一项实验性干预措施的多中心评估，以改善低收入HL的癌症生存率和生活质量，ROS将评估一个以HL为重点的戒烟自助互联网门户网站。培训部分将提供研讨会、奖学金和在线工具的强大组合，以增加准备和促进独立HL研究职业发展的机会。Redes是一个已经成熟的网络，将HL研究人员和社区联系起来，将利用其丰富的经验，在减少HL癌症健康差异方面取得更大的进展。自2000年以来，Redes在全国范围内开展了广泛的以社区为基础的癌症教育，培训了200多名拉丁裔科学家，并成功地在18名初级教师试点调查员中筹集了90万美元，连续获得9600万美元的研究资金。
