DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this application is to establish a Regional Community Networks Program known as the Minnesota Community Networks Center to Reduce Cancer Disparities among racial/ethnic minority populations in Minnesota with an initial focus on Minnesota's growing new immigrant and refugee populations using Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. While Minnesota is often perceived to have few minorities, the state's racial/ethnic distribution has changed substantially. Between 1990 and 2008, African Americans in Minnesota grew from 94,944 to 225,648 (138% growth) Latinos grew from 53,884 to 200,736 (273% growth), Asians grew from 77,886 to 180,835 (132% growth), compared to whites who grew from 4,130,395 to 4,559,336 (10% growth). During the same period, the population of foreign-born individuals in Minnesota increased from 260,000 to 340,000. The proposed Center will build on existing statewide cancer prevention and control infrastructure known as Minnesota Cancer Alliance, and on established successful university-community partnerships. In addition to the CNP headquarters at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, the Center will have sites in Willmar (West Central) and Owatonna (Southern), both rural communities in Minnesota. The proposed CNP center will comprise of four cores: Administrative Core, Community Outreach Core, Research Core, and Training Core. The Administrative Core will provide overall leadership and organizational infrastructure for the Center; the Community Outreach Core will collaborate with established partners. New American Community Services (African immigrants) and Centro Campesino (Latino immigrants) increasing community members' awareness of, knowledge about, and access to cervical and breast cancer screening; the Research Core will support one full project (tobacco use) and one pilot research project (cervical cancer screening); the Training Core will prepare a cadre of scientists and health professionals with focus on underrepresented groups across Minnesota to incorporate CBPR into their cancer research and promote their capacity to achieve sustained career success as community-engaged health disparity researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的总体目标是建立一个被称为明尼苏达州社区网络中心的区域社区网络计划，以减少明尼苏达州种族/族裔少数民族人口之间的癌症差异，并最初使用基于社区的参与研究（CBPR）的方法，最初侧重于明尼苏达州不断发展的新移民和保护人群。尽管明尼苏达州经常被认为没有少数群体，但该州的种族/族裔分配发生了很大变化。在1990年至2008年之间，明尼苏达州的非洲裔美国人从94,944人增长到225,648（138％）拉丁美洲人从53,884增长到200,736（273％的增长），与77,886人的增长率从77,886增长到180,835（132％），比惠特（White）增长了4,135,35,3333.35,35,33,35（ 生长）。在同一时期，明尼苏达州外国出生的人口从260,000增加到340,000。拟议的中心将建立在现有的全州预防和控制基础设施的基础上，称为明尼苏达州癌症联盟，并建立了成功的大学社区合作伙伴关系。除了明尼苏达大学双城的CNP总部外，该中心还将在明尼苏达州的农村社区Willmar（West Centreal）和Owatonna（Southern）设有地点。拟议的CNP中心将包括四个核心：行政核心，社区外展核心，研究核心和培训核心。行政核心将为该中心提供总体领导和组织基础设施；社区外展核心将与成熟的合作伙伴合作。新的美国社区服务（非洲移民）和中心坎皮西诺（拉丁裔移民）提高了社区成员对宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查的认识，知识并获得的知识；研究核心将支持一个完整的项目（烟草使用）和一个试点研究项目（宫颈癌筛查）；培训核心将准备一群科学家和卫生专业人员，重点关注明尼苏达州的代表性不足的群体，以将CBPR纳入其癌症研究中，并促进他们作为社区参与的健康差异研究人员的持续职业成功的能力。
