Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network (TBCCN)

描述：莫菲特癌症中心和一个已建立的社区合作伙伴网络建议成立一个区域中心，以解决三县地区的癌症负担问题。该中心建立在名为坦帕湾社区癌症网络的现有社区-学术网络项目的重大成功的基础上，借鉴了丰富的项目合作伙伴关系，并基于我们在开发创新教育、培训和研究项目方面的丰富经验，这些项目认识到文化和识字在癌症护理中的重要性。该中心加强了我们以社区为基础的基础设施，目前的特点是相关、真诚和值得信赖的伙伴关系，为医疗服务不足的个人和家庭提供服务，并跨越所有种族/民族群体，包括越来越多的外国出生人口。该中心以使用社区参与性研究(CBPR)的方法论方法为基础，旨在：通过健康促进和外联活动，增加对有益生物医学和行为程序的了解、获取和使用；根据CBPR原则进行创新的循证研究，并培训合格的健康差距研究人员使用CBPR方法。中心是 由一个提供监督的管理核心和三个高度互补的计划组成 (外联、研究和培训)，与指导委员会和社区咨询小组成员协同工作。外联计划以围绕癌症预防和控制活动让社区参与的活动为基础，以传播可信资源为中心，并与NCI全国外联网络建立联系。研究计划针对影响健康差距的几个决定因素(可获得性、知识和健康素养)，并通过开展调查员发起的旨在增加结直肠癌筛查接受度的干预性研究研究和扩大CNP中心对生物库的兴趣的试验性教育研究项目来提供解决方案。该培训计划借鉴了指导、协作和网络的原则，创新性地提供了由学术和社区导师参与的授课和沉浸式培训机会。

DESCRIPTION: Moffitt Cancer Center and an established network of community partners propose the formation of a regional Center for addressing the cancer burden in a tri-county area. This Center builds on the significant successes of an existing community-academic network program called the Tampa Bay Community Cancer Network, draws on enriching programmatic partnerships, and builds on our considerable experience in developing innovative education, training and research programs that recognize the importance of culture and literacy in cancer care. The Center strengthens our community-based infrastructure that is currently characterized by relevant, sincere and trustworthy partnerships that serve medically underserved individuals and families, and which cuts across all racial/ethnic groups including a growing number of foreign-born populations. Grounded in methodological approaches that use community-based participatory research (CBPR), Center aims are to: increase knowledge of, access, and use of beneficial biomedical and behavioral procedures through health promotion and outreach activities; conduct innovative evidence-based research following CBPR principles and to train qualified health disparity researchers in using CBPR approaches. The Center is comprised of an Administrative Core that provides oversight and three highly complementary Programs (Outreach, Research and Training) that work synergistically with members of the Steering Committee and Community Advisory Group. The Outreach Program, anchored by activities that engage communities around cancer prevention and control activities, centers on dissemination of credible resources, and makes linkages to the NCI National Outreach Network. The Research Program addresses several determinants (access, knowledge and health literacy) that impact health disparities, and offers solutions by conduct of an investigator initiated intervention research study for increasing uptake of colorectal cancer screening, and a pilot educational research project that extends the CNP Center's interests in biobanking. The Training Program draws on the tenets of mentoring, collaboration and networking, and innovatively puts into place didactic and immersion training opportunities involving academic and community mentors.
