DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cancer is now the leading cause of death in the state of North Carolina. In 2006, over 17,000 North Carolinians died from cancer. African Americans carry a disproportionate burden of cancer disease, with higher mortality rates than Caucasians from prostate, colorectal, and breast cancer. The Carolina Community Network Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CCN II) will leverage the myriad successes of CCN I and continue to promote the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach in adhering to the established mission of reducing cancer health disparities among adult African Americans in North Carolina. CCN II will be based at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and will provide a three-pronged research infrastructure that includes: Outreach, Research, and Training. CCN II will continue to work with faith-based and secular community groups in two regional areas in North Carolina that comprise 13 urban and rural counties. CCN II program activities will be undertaken through the coordinating efforts of the Administrative Core, the partnership strengthening activities of the Community Outreach Program and the junior faculty development activities of the Training Program to form a comprehensive, interactive, community-academic research center. Specifically, 1) the Administrative core will provide scientific leadership and direction to all three of CCN M's programs, cultivating cohesion and synergy to meet Center goals; 2) the Community Outreach Program will provide needs assessments, culturally sensitive cancer education, and targeted health promotion and dissemination efforts in concert with existing Community Partners; 3) the Training Program will identify, instruct and support the development of early-stage investigators interested in developing their own health disparities research programs using the CBPR approach; and 4) the Research Program will support the conduct of an evidence-based intervention study to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among African Americans using data generated from CCN I preliminary research and existing partnerships.

描述（由申请人提供）：癌症目前是北卡罗来纳州的首要死因。 2006 年，超过 17,000 名北卡罗来纳州人死于癌症。非裔美国人承受着不成比例的癌症疾病负担，前列腺癌、结直肠癌和乳腺癌的死亡率高于白种人。卡罗莱纳州减少癌症健康差异社区网络中心 (CCN II) 将利用 CCN I 的无数成功，并继续推广基于社区的参与性研究 (CBPR) 方法，以履行减少非洲成人癌症健康差异的既定使命北卡罗来纳州的美国人。 CCN II 将设在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的 Lineberger 综合癌症中心，并将提供三管齐下的研究基础设施，包括：外展、研究和培训。 CCN II 将继续与北卡罗来纳州两个地区（包括 13 个城市和乡村县）的信仰和世俗社区团体合作。 CCN II计划活动将通过行政核心的协调努力、社区外展计划的伙伴关系加强活动和培训计划的初级教师发展活动来开展，以形成一个综合性、互动性的社区学术研究中心。 具体来说，1）行政核心将为 CCN M 的所有三个项目提供科学领导和指导，培养凝聚力和协同作用以实现中心目标； 2) 社区外展计划将与现有社区合作伙伴合作，提供需求评估、文化敏感的癌症教育以及有针对性的健康促进和传播工作； 3) 培训计划将确定、指导和支持有兴趣使用 CBPR 方法开发自己的健康差异研究项目的早期研究人员的发展； 4) 研究计划将支持开展一项循证干预研究，以利用 CCN I 初步研究和现有合作伙伴关系产生的数据来提高非裔美国人的结直肠癌筛查率。
