DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer is now the leading cause of death in the state of North Carolina. In 2006, over 17,000 North Carolinians died from cancer. African Americans carry a disproportionate burden of cancer disease, with higher mortality rates than Caucasians from prostate, colorectal, and breast cancer. The Carolina Community Network Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CCN II) will leverage the myriad successes of CCN I and continue to promote the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach in adhering to the established mission of reducing cancer health disparities among adult African Americans in North Carolina. CCN II will be based at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and will provide a three-pronged research infrastructure that includes: Outreach, Research, and Training. CCN II will continue to work with faith-based and secular community groups in two regional areas in North Carolina that comprise 13 urban and rural counties. CCN II program activities will be undertaken through the coordinating efforts of the Administrative Core, the partnership strengthening activities of the Community Outreach Program and the junior faculty development activities of the Training Program to form a comprehensive, interactive, community-academic research center. Specifically, 1) the Administrative core will provide scientific leadership and direction to all three of CCN M's programs, cultivating cohesion and synergy to meet Center goals; 2) the Community Outreach Program will provide needs assessments, culturally sensitive cancer education, and targeted health promotion and dissemination efforts in concert with existing Community Partners; 3) the Training Program will identify, instruct and support the development of early-stage investigators interested in developing their own health disparities research programs using the CBPR approach; and 4) the Research Program will support the conduct of an evidence-based intervention study to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among African Americans using data generated from CCN I preliminary research and existing partnerships.

描述(申请人提供)：癌症现在是北卡罗来纳州的首要死因。2006年，超过17,000名北卡罗来纳州人死于癌症。非裔美国人背负着不成比例的癌症负担，前列腺癌、结直肠癌和乳腺癌的死亡率高于高加索人。卡罗莱纳减少癌症健康差距社区网络中心(CCN II)将利用CCN I取得的众多成功，继续推动基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)方法，以坚持减少北卡罗来纳州成年非裔美国人癌症健康差距的既定使命。CCN II将设在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的莱恩伯格综合癌症中心，并将提供一个三管齐下的研究基础设施，包括：外联、研究和培训。CCN II将继续与北卡罗来纳州两个地区的宗教团体和世俗社区团体合作，这两个地区由13个城市和农村县组成。CCN II计划的活动将通过行政核心、社区外联计划的加强伙伴关系活动和培训计划的初级教师发展活动的协调努力来开展，以形成一个综合的、互动的、社区-学术研究中心。 具体地说，1)行政核心将为CCN M的所有三个计划提供科学的领导和指导，培养凝聚力和协同性，以实现中心的目标；2)社区外联计划将提供需求评估、文化敏感的癌症教育，以及与现有社区合作伙伴协调的有针对性的健康促进和传播工作；3)培训计划将确定、指导和支持有兴趣使用CBPR方法制定自己的健康差距研究计划的早期调查人员的发展；4)研究计划将支持开展一项基于证据的干预研究，利用CCN I初步研究和现有合作伙伴产生的数据，提高非裔美国人的结直肠癌筛查率。
