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）：迫切需要采取行动解决危害西班牙裔/拉丁裔（HL）人群健康的癌症控制和预防方面的持续差异。这一名为“行动中的行动：全国拉丁裔癌症研究网络”的提案提出了一套全面的外联、研究和培训活动，这些活动将在加利福尼亚、佛罗里达、纽约和德克萨斯州的国家和区域中心开展，由具有独特资格的研究人员组成的网络从不同人口的角度了解问题，并作为影响变革和培养新一代癌症科学家的领导者和榜样。Redes的活动将包括：1)癌症健康教育的社区外展，以促进癌症控制和预防；2)开展与癌症健康差异相关的循证ROl和R03研究；3)为初级和早期HL科学家提供培训和指导，以促进科学教育和加快NCI的独立发现。区域和国家外展活动将以多模式的公共癌症教育为特色，强调癌症幸存者的意识，并增加癌症预防团体（如兰斯·阿姆斯特朗基金会）提供的有益的幸存者服务。ROl研究项目将启动一项实验性干预措施的多站点评估，以改善低收入高收入者的癌症生存质量，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，以增加资助，为独立的HL研究事业发展做好准备和刺激。Redes是一个连接HL研究人员和社区的成熟网络，将利用其丰富的经验在减少HL癌症健康差距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社区癌症教育，培训了200多名拉丁裔科学家，并成功地将18名初级教员试点调查员的90万美元转化为连续9600万美元的研究资金。
