AANCART: The National Center for Reducing Asian American Cancer Health Disparitie

描述（由申请人提供）：作为对RFA-CA-09-032的回应，亚裔美国人癌症意识、研究和培训网络（AANCART）提议创建国家减少亚裔美国人癌症健康差异中心，名为AANCART：国家中心。该中心由学术和社区主要研究人员领导，将采用基于社区的参与式研究（CBPR）方法来实现其具体目标：1）建立一个国家中心，根据AANCART在过去9年中创建的社区-学术伙伴关系网络进行推广，研究和培训，作为NCI资助的社区网络计划，这已经产生了许多重大成就，并建立了社区的信任; 2）外展到社区，以减少癌症的差异和相关的共同病态的条件之间的亚裔美国人; 3）开展、促进和传播循证干预研究，以减少亚裔美国人面临的不必要的癌症负担; 4）培训和培养新的和早期的CBPR调查人员提交同行评审的建议，并获得资金进行研究，以减少健康差距。这个U 54应用程序显示：1）中心是如何行政组织的; 2） 如何在加州和夏威夷的4个亚裔美国人群体中实施外展计划，创造和增加获得文化上适当的、语言上特定的和基于证据的材料的机会，这些材料旨在增加关于癌症和使用有益的预防程序的知识; 3）5年全面研究项目将如何开发、实施、评估，并传播一项关于非专业健康教育工作者在4个亚裔美国人群体中促进结直肠癌筛查的有效性的随机对照试验的结果（菲律宾人，苗族，韩国人和越南人）在4个地区（檀香山，洛杉矶，萨克拉门托，和旧金山弗朗西斯科），以及一个为期2年的试点研究项目将如何评估认知和文化的观点，在美国华人对生物标本收集;以及4）培训计划如何通过结合个性化的指导计划，预定的研讨会以及与NIH临床和转化科学奖相关的课程来培养新的早期研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In response to RFA-CA-09-032, the Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research, and Training (AANCART) proposes to create the National Center for Reducing Asian American Cancer Health Disparities entitled AANCART: The National Center. This Center, led by academic and community Principal investigators, will use a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to achieve its Specific Aims: 1) Build a National Center to conduct outreach, research, and training based on the network of community-academic partnerships created by AANCART in the preceding 9 years as an NCI-funded Community Network Program, which has generated many significant accomplishments and established trust in the community; 2) Outreach to communities to reduce cancer disparities and related co-morbid conditions among Asian Americans; 3) Conduct, foster, and disseminate evidence-based intervention Research to reduce the unnecessary cancer burden confronting Asian Americans; 4) Train and nurture new and early stage CBPR investigators to submit peer-reviewed proposals and obtain funding to conduct research to reduce health disparities. This U54 application shows: 1) How the Center is administratively organized; 2) How the Outreach Program will be implemented among 4 Asian American populations in California and Hawaii by creating and increasing access to culturally appropriate, linguistically-specific, and evidence-based materials designed to increase knowledge about cancer and the use of beneficial preventive procedures; 3) How a 5-year Full Research Project will develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate the results of a cluster randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of lay health educators to promote colorectal cancer screening among 4 Asian American groups (Filipinos, Hmong, Korean, and Vietnamese) in 4 regions (Honolulu, Los Angeles, Sacramento, & San Francisco) and how a 2-year Pilot Research Project will assess cognitive & cultural perspectives among Chinese Americans regarding biospecimen collection; and 4) How a Training Program will develop new and early stage investigators by combining individualized mentoring plans, scheduled seminars, and a curriculum linked to the NIH Clinical & Translational Science Awards.
