The University of Maryland School of Medicine (Claudia R. Baquet) provides the leadership to a proposal with the goal of establishing a sustainable infrastructure in Maryland (MD) entitled, the "Maryland Special Populations Cancer Network". Objectives of the Network are to: 1.) Build a network infrastructure to foster cancer awareness activities in MD; 2.) Establish partnerships to support enhanced minority participation in research; 3.) Promote training opportunities for minority researchers; 4.) Establish cancer research priorities and plan collaborative pilot projects; 5.) Develop collaborative competitive grant applications from pilot projects. In a three phase program, the Investigative team will employ wide range of cancer awareness activities: develop culturally appropriate cancer control outreach and will direct our research to include the target populations; foster collaborative interactions between the community and academia and mentoring relationships for minority researchers. The target populations are African Americans in Baltimore City, African Americans and other rural undeserved groups on the Eastern Shore and throughout MD. The Steering Committee, the Baltimore Times Publishing Group, the Eastern Shore Regional Cancer Center, the Veterans Administration; the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and its 24 Local Health Departments; The Baltimore Ministerial Alliance Against Cancer, UniversityCARE, the Maryland State Council on Cancer Control; the Maryland Rural Health Association; and the State Office of Rural Health. The Joint Action Plan approved by the Steering Committee will include church-based strategies utilizing Lay Health Workers (LHW); cancer awareness programs; print and broadcast media activities; and a wide-reaching program engaging community health providers and community based organizations. The success of the Network will be evaluated by: 1.) the improvement in cancer awareness among target consumers; 2.) the increased access and accrual to cancer clinical trials for minorities; 3.) the development of funded research studies; 4.) the increased numbers of minorities selecting cancer research careers; and 5.) the long-term sustainability of the Network after the grant period.

马里兰大学医学院 (Claudia R. Baquet) 领导了一项提案，其目标是在马里兰州 (MD) 建立可持续的基础设施，题为“马里兰州特殊人群癌症网络”。该网络的目标是： 1.) 建立网络基础设施，以促进医学博士的癌症意识活动； 2.) 建立伙伴关系，支持加强少数群体对研究的参与； 3.) 促进少数族裔研究人员的培训机会； 4.) 确定癌症研究重点并规划合作试点项目； 5.) 从试点项目中开发协作竞争性资助申请。 在一个三阶段计划中，调查团队将开展广泛的癌症意识活动：开展文化上适当的癌症控制外展活动，并将指导我们的研究包括目标人群；促进社区和学术界之间的协作互动以及少数族裔研究人员的指导关系。目标人群是巴尔的摩市的非裔美国人、东海岸和整个马里兰州的非裔美国人和其他农村弱势群体。 指导委员会、巴尔的摩时报出版集团、东岸地区癌症中心、退伍军人管理局；健康和心理卫生部及其 24 个地方卫生部门；巴尔的摩抗癌部长级联盟、UniversityCARE、马里兰州癌症控制委员会；马里兰州农村健康协会；和国家农村卫生办公室。 指导委员会批准的联合行动计划将包括利用非专业卫生工作者 (LHW) 的基于教会的战略；癌症意识计划；印刷和广播媒体活动；以及一项涉及社区卫生服务提供者和社区组织的广泛计划。该网络的成功将通过以下方面进行评估： 1.) 目标消费者癌症意识的提高； 2.) 增加少数族裔参与癌症临床试验的机会和增加； 3.) 资助研究的发展； 4.) 选择癌症研究职业的少数族裔人数增加； 5.) 资助期后网络的长期可持续性。
