项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium (AC3) is a designated NCI-Epidemiology and Genomics Research (EGRP) Consortium. AC3 plays a unique role by attending to African American as well as Caribbean and African immigrants in the United States (U.S.) and their native countries. Our consortium membership is trans- disciplinary (basic and population science researchers, clinicians, and cancer advocates) and consists of three interconnected networks (U.S., Caribbean and Africa) involving more than 40 institutions. Our 2019 conference theme “Cell to Society Approaches to Reduce Cancer Risk and Improve Outcomes among Populations of African Ancestry” is relevant to the transdisciplinary makeup of our membership. Large-scale comparative translational cancer research studies that encompass molecular to population-based research are critical to accelerating our efforts in understanding and addressing cancer disparities. Considering the diversity of the U.S Black population, cancer research in the Caribbean and Africa is also an essential component for addressing cancer disparities in the U.S. Prior NIH conference support has provided training and networking opportunities that have facilitated AC3’s growing role and responsibility in examining and addressing disparities involving multi-level factors affecting cancer risk, epidemiology and outcomes of populations of African ancestry. Preliminary results from our 2018 needs assessment reveal that there are still remaining gaps that must be addressed in order to sustain U.S.-Caribbean-Africa collaborations. These gaps include grantsmanship, readiness to participate and manage collaborative grant applications, efficient methods for data capture during participant recruitment and in-country molecular pathology skills for Caribbean and African investigators. The 2019 conference will focus on a) addressing these gaps and b) developing an AC3 action plan for specific large-scale comparative translational cancer research studies involving African Americans, immigrant and native African and Caribbean populations, leveraging on the resources that we have already built. This approach would be most beneficial in the U.S. as comparative studies are critical to inform and improve interventions, treatment and prevention of cancers among U.S. Blacks. The following are the Specific Aims: 1) To facilitate knowledge transfer related to cancer risk and outcomes in African-descent populations, and promote the development and coordination of research studies involving African-American, African-Caribbean and African populations. 2) Promote diversity pipeline for health disparities research by providing a forum for training and career development for under-represented minority investigators and students. 3) To promote health equity by providing scientifically rigorous, clinically and culturally informed research and education for greater public benefit in order to improve knowledge, of cancer risk, strategies for cancer risk reduction and prevention, and generate culturally tailored community responsive research recruitment of underserved/understudied populations.

项目概要/摘要非洲-加勒比癌症联盟 (AC3) 是指定的 NCI 流行病学和基因组学研究机构 (EGRP) AC3 联盟通过关注非裔美国人以及加勒比海和非洲人发挥着独特的作用。我们的联盟成员是跨国的。学科（基础和人口科学研究人员、牧师和癌症倡导者），由三部分组成 2019 年会议涉及 40 多个机构的互联网络（美国、加勒比海和非洲）。主题“从细胞到社会降低非洲人群癌症风险和改善预后的方法” “祖先”与我们会员的跨学科构成相关。涵盖分子到人群研究的癌症研究对于加速我们的研究至关重要考虑到美国黑人人口的多样性，加勒比地区和非洲的癌症研究也是解决各地区癌症差异的重要组成部分美国国立卫生研究院之前的会议支持提供了培训和交流机会，促进了 AC3 在审查和解决涉及多层次因素的差异方面的作用和责任日益增强影响非洲血统人群的癌症风险、流行病学和结果的初步结果。我们 2018 年的需求评估显示，仍然存在必须解决的差距，才能维持美国-加勒比-非洲的合作包括资助能力、参与和管理的准备程度。协作赠款申请、参与者招募期间和国内数据采集的有效方法加勒比和非洲研究人员的分子病理学技能 2019 年会议将重点关注 a) 解决这些差距 b) 为特定的大规模比较转化制定 AC3 行动计划涉及非裔美国人、移民以及非洲和加勒比本土人口的癌症研究，利用我们已经建立的资源，这种方法对美国最有利。比较研究对于了解和改进癌症的干预、治疗和预防至关重要美国黑人的具体目标如下： 1) 促进与癌症风险和癌症相关的知识转移非洲人后裔人口的成果，并促进研究的发展和协调非裔美国人、非洲裔加勒比人和非洲人口 2) 促进涉及健康的多元化渠道。通过为代表性不足的少数群体提供培训和职业发展论坛来进行差异研究 3) 通过提供科学严谨、临床和文化方面的知识来促进健康公平。为更大的公共利益提供知情的研究和教育，以提高对癌症风险的认识，降低和预防癌症风险的策略，并产生针对文化的社区响应能力对服务不足/研究不足的人群进行研究招募。
