The Partnership for Native American Cancer Prevention (2 of 2)

描述（由申请人提供）：美洲原住民癌症预防伙伴关系（NACP）的长期目标是消除西南美洲原住民的癌症差异。亚利桑那大学癌症中心和北亚利桑那大学作为NACP，与部落社区合作开展研究、推广和培训活动，旨在确定和消除在美洲原住民癌症发病率、死亡率、存活率和代表性等领域实现卫生公平的障碍。预期结果包括：增加癌症相关研究项目的数量和相关性，解决美国西南部印第安人癌症差异的问题；北亚利桑那大学从事癌症相关项目的研究人员数量和多样性的增加；增加以癌症外展和研究为重点的大学-部落社区伙伴关系的数量；越来越多的美国原住民和其他学生进入关注健康差距的研究生和专业课程。目标一：我们的研究和发展核心将通过研究项目和教师招聘和发展，在我们的院校培养和支持符合文化的研究能力。目标二：我们将通过提供机会，将他们的价值观、信仰和需求融入NACP的各个方面，尊重我们所服务的美国原住民社区的文化。目标三：我们将通过我们的培训核心增加在癌症预防、癌症控制和癌症相关医疗保健政策方面接受培训的学生、博士后和教师（尤其是印第安人）的数量，从而增加具有文化能力的生物医学研究人员和卫生工作者的数量。NACP有三个癌症研究项目；(1)印第安人癌症幸存者的身体活动与癌症；(2)印第安人前列腺癌进展的功能基因变异；(3)微生物、胆汁酸和结直肠癌。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term 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 and Northern Arizona University 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, survivorship, and representation. Expected outcomes include: an increase in the numbers and relevance of cancer-related research projects addressing disparities in cancer among Native Americans of the southwestern US; an increase in the number and diversity of researchers at Northern Arizona University working on cancer-related projects; an increase in the number of university - tribal community partnerships focused on cancer outreach and research; an increase in the numbers of Native American and other students moving into graduate and professional programs focused on health disparities. Aim One: Our Research and Development Core will foster and support culturally-appropriate research capacity at our institutions both through research projects and through faculty recruitment and development. Aim Two: We will honor the culture of the Native American communities we serve by providing opportunities to integrate their values, beliefs and needs into every aspect of the NACP. Aim Three: We will increase the number of culturally competent biomedical researchers and health workers by increasing the number of students, postdocs, and faculty (especially Native Americans) trained in cancer prevention, cancer control, and cancer-related health care policy through our Training Core. NACP has three cancer research projects; (1) Physical activity and cancer among Native American cancer survivors, (2) Functional genetic variants as modifiers of prostate cancer progression in Native Americans and (3) Microbes, bile acids and colorectal cancer.
