NATIONAL BLACK LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE ON CANCER II: NETWO

国家癌症研究所（NCI）的国家癌症咨询委员会发起了一项为期十（10）年的社区宣传计划，旨在提高非裔美国人对癌症的认识。 这项提案是为了支持国家黑人领导癌症控制，研究和培训网络（NBL-CCRTN），NBLIC的扩展。 NBL-CCRTN分三个阶段进行，为期五年，其广泛目标包括建立一个非洲裔美国人癌症控制专家和专家研究人员、临床医生的全国网络;在社区联盟内实施能力建设战略;建立学术和临床伙伴关系，并制定相关的合作研究项目。 NBLIC的目标地区将被精简，包括人口稠密的非裔美国人，高患病率的癌症社区。 外展、教育和培训工作将侧重于对非裔美国人影响不成比例的癌症（即，乳腺癌、宫颈癌、结肠直肠癌、肺癌和前列腺癌），并将通过研讨会、讲座、健康博览会和其他社区外展活动，将其作为最佳做法的目标。 将加强与国家癌症控制机构的合作，以实现这一目标。 NBL-CCRTN成功的重要因素是与NCI指定的癌症中心、癌症合作团体和其他医疗保健提供者的联系。 该项目还呼吁与该国的主要癌症护理提供者建立伙伴关系，以努力增加非洲裔美国人对治疗和预防方案的参与。 该项目的一个主要目标是需要招聘和培训更多的黑人保健专业人员。 NBL-CCRTN研究人员将在项目的最后阶段进行试点调查。正在为NBLIC进行的过程和成果评价将在NBL-CCRTN得到加强和实施。 一个国家办公室将作为区域和联盟活动的协调中心，由项目领导和癌症控制专家组成的指导委员会进行监督。

The National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer (NBLIC), a ten (10) year old community awareness program, was initiated by the National Cancer Advisory Board of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to increase cancer awareness among African Americans. This proposal is to support the National Black Leadership-Cancer Control, Research and Training Network (NBL-CCRTN), an expansion of NBLIC. Conducted over a five-year period in three phases, NBL-CCRTN's broad objectives include establishment of a national network of African American cancer control experts and expert researchers, clinicians; implementation of capacity-building strategies within community-based coalitions; establishment academic and clinical partnerships and development of relevant collaborative research projects. The NBLIC target areas will be streamlined to include densely populated African American, high prevalence cancer communities. Outreach, education and training efforts will focus on cancers disproportionately impacting African Americans (i.e., breast, cervical, colorectal, lung and prostate) and will be targeted in best practices to be implemented through seminars, lectures, health fairs and other community outreach efforts. Collaborations with national agencies concerned with cancer control will be enhanced for this delivery. Important to the success of NBL-CCRTN are links to NCI-designated cancer centers, cancer cooperative groups and other health care providers. This project also calls for the establishment of partnerships with major cancer care providers in the country in an effort to increase African-American accrual to treatment and prevention protocols. The need to recruit and train more black health care professionals is a major aim of the project. Pilot investigations will be implemented during the final phase of the project by NBL-CCRTN researchers. Process and outcome evaluations, being conducted for NBLIC, will be enhanced and implemented for NBL-CCRTN. A National Office will serve as the Coordinating Center for Regional and Coalition activities, with oversight provided by a Steering Committee of project leadership and cancer control experts.
