Development Core

3D.开发核心 主要研究者：Diane Steams，Ph.D.，NAU教授 杰西·马丁内斯博士UACC教授 3.D.1概述 美洲原住民癌症预防伙伴关系（NACP）的总体目标是消除西南部美洲原住民的癌症差异。亚利桑那大学癌症中心（UACC）和北方亚利桑那大学（NAU）作为NACP与部落社区合作，开展研究，推广和培训活动，旨在确定和消除美洲土著癌症发病率，死亡率和生存率领域的健康公平障碍，并增加在提供克服这些障碍的机会的领域的代表性。发展核心负责监督符合NACP限制的研究项目的开发、初步审查和持续评估程序，即，该项目必须与NAU和UACC的共同研究者合作，并在适当时与部落共同研究者合作;该项目必须与亚利桑那州的部落社区相关;该项目必须与癌症相关，定义或解决癌症差异问题，并为原住民学生提供癌症研究培训。 拟议的NACP发展核心的总体目标是通过研究项目和教师招聘和发展来促进和支持我们机构的文化适当的研究能力。我们将努力增加研究人员的数量和多样性在NAU癌症相关项目的工作，并通过个人发展计划增加他们的研究成功，如培训核心计划中所述。图5提供了概括这些目标的逻辑模型。我们将努力增加以下方面的具体成果： (1)成功的外部资金为NAU研究人员在相关领域的癌症和癌症的差距， (2)癌症研究和癌症差异领域的同行评议出版物， (3)通过文化能力培训、项目开发部落协商和传播研究成果，开展社区协作互动。 发展核心将继续与外联和培训核心以及内部咨询委员会互动，其方式对全国反腐败方案的成功至关重要。外联核心将就社区参与的机会以及社区合作伙伴的研究和培训需求向发展核心提供咨询意见，社区合作伙伴将作为制定新的试点研究项目的重点。发展核心将与外展核心合作，为部落社区提供研究项目的简要介绍;研究人员将接受报纸和广播节目的采访，并向纳瓦霍民族人类受试者研究委员会和土著健康研究会议等NA会议发表演讲。外展和培训核心将合作，为发展核心和资助的NACP调查人员提供文化能力培训，这将加强我们理解和解决我们所服务的社区需求的能力。发展核心还包含研究项目，为我们的本土学生提供研究培训机会。最后，IAC对所有新提案的科学价值和文化相关性进行评估，并对继续提案的进展和建议方向进行评估。 发展核心由两名共同领导人监督。UACC的杰西·马丁内斯博士和NAU的黛安·斯特恩斯博士。这些共同领导人负责寻找有兴趣申请试点资金的两个机构的教师对;阐明社区需求，以及新的和持续的调查人员的要求，目标和期望;协助开发，审查和评估研究提案;并指导项目共同调查人员成功满足NACP的期望。

3D. Developmental Core Principal Investigators: Diane Steams, Ph.D., Professor, NAU Jesse Martinez, Ph.D., Professor, UACC 3.D.1 Overview The overall goal of the Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention (NACP) is to eliminate cancer disparities in Native Americans of the southwest. The University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) and Northern Arizona University (NAU) as NACP partner with tribal communities to develop research, outreach, and training activities aimed at defining and eliminating obstacles to health equity in areas of Native American cancer incidence, mortality, and survivorship, and increasing representation in fields that provide the opportunities to overcome these obstacles. The Developmental Core is responsible for overseeing the procedures for development, initial review and ongoing evaluation of research projects that meet the constraints of the NACP, i.e., the project must be collaborative, with co-investigators from NAU and UACC, and with tribal co-investigators when appropriate; the project must be relevant to tribal communities in Arizona; and the project must be relevant to cancer, in terms of defining or addressing issues of cancer disparities, and in providing cancer research training for Native students. The overall goal of the proposed NACP Developmental Core is to foster and support culturally-appropriate research capacity at our institutions both through research projects and through faculty recruitment and development. We will work to increase the number and diversity of researchers at NAU working on cancer related projects, and to increase their research success through Individual Development Plans, as described in the Training Core Program. The Logic Model summarizing these goals is provided in Figure 5. We will work to increase specific outcomes of: (1) Successful external funding for NAU researchers in areas related to cancer and cancer disparities, (2) Peer reviewed publications in areas of cancer research and cancer disparities, (3) Collaborative community interactions through cultural competency training, tribal consultation for project development and dissemination of research results. The Developmental Core will continue to interact with the Outreach and Training Cores, as well as the Internal Advisory Committee, in ways that are essential to the success of the NACP. The Outreach Core will advise the Developmental Core on opportunities for community engagement and on the research and training needs of community partners, who will serve as the focus for the development of new pilot research projects. The Developmental Core will work with the Outreach Core to provide lay summaries of research projects for dissemination to tribal communities; and researchers will be available for interviews for newspapers and radio programs and for presentations to NA conferences such as the Navajo Nation Human Subjects Research Board and Native Health Research Conferences. The Outreach and Training Cores will collaborate to provide the Developmental Core and funded NACP investigators with cultural competency training that will strengthen our ability to understand and address the needs of the communities we serve. The Developmental Core also houses the research projects that provide the research training opportunities for our Native students. Lastly, the IAC provides evaluation of scientific merit and cultural relevance for all new proposals, and evaluates progress and proposed directions for continuing proposals. The Developmental Core is overseen by two co-leaders. Dr. Jesse Martinez at UACC and Dr. Diane Stearns at NAU. These co-leaders are responsible for finding faculty pairs across both institutions that are interested in applying for pilot funding; articulating the community needs, as well as the requirements, goals, and expectations of the NACP to new and continuing investigators; assisting in the development, review, and evaluation of research proposals; and mentoring the project co-investigators to be successful in meeting the expectations of the NACP.
