PROJECT SUMMARY The African-Caribbean Cancer Consortium (AC3) is a Global Oncology Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center and plays a unique role by addressing cancer disparities involving African American, Caribbean and African immigrants in the United States (U.S.) and their counterparts in native countries. AC3 membership is trans- disciplinary (basic and population science researchers, clinicians, and cancer advocates) and consists of three interconnected networks (U.S., Caribbean and Africa). Our 2023 conference theme: “Community to Molecular Approaches in Early Screening and Diagnosis to Promote Equitable Outcomes Through the Continuum of Care in Cancer Among Populations of African Ancestry” reflects the trans-disciplinary makeup of our membership. Also, as we have achieved in prior conferences, our 2023 conference organizing committees, speakers and audiences will fully reflect the diversity of our membership. In the U.S. and worldwide, cancer kills more Blacks than any other racial/ethnic group. A great number of premature cancer deaths also occur in predominantly Black nations in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. Cancer research in Black populations remains profoundly lacking not only in the US but also in Black dominant countries in Africa and the Caribbean. The number of biomedical research publications from Africa and the Caribbean are increasing, but disparities remain for research articles focused on cancer. Black scientists are also grossly underrepresented among NCI grant recipients. Therefore, an international cadre of well-trained Black scientists increases the much needed diversity among global cancer researchers. Considering the diversity of the U.S. Black population, cancer research in the Caribbean and Africa is inclusive and also essential for addressing cancer disparities in the U.S. This equitable approach to research will be most beneficial in the U.S. as these studies are critical to inform and improve interventions, treatment and prevention of cancers among all U.S. Blacks. The AC3 Scientific and Training Conference is therefore justified, timely and useful. Our cancer-focused training, scientific exchange and collaboration planning workshops will be a boon to the AC3 efforts to accelerate cancer research, advance careers of Black scientists and provides innovative opportunities to study cancer disparities that impact Blacks in the US. The following are the Specific Aims: 1) To enhance diversity by providing professional development, education and scientific training, to strengthen health disparities research, skills and competencies among underrepresented and underserved early stage investigators and students. 2) To facilitate knowledge exchange of the science of cancer among African-descent populations, and increase research development and the coordination of research studies in Black populations. 3) To promote health equity by providing scientifically rigorous, and clinically and culturally informed research for greater community benefit in order to improve knowledge, awareness of cancer risk, strategies for cancer risk reduction and prevention.

项目摘要 非洲加勒比癌症联盟（AC3）是Fox Chase Cancer Center的全球肿瘤学计划 并通过解决涉及非裔美国人，加勒比海和非洲的癌症分布来发挥独特的作用 美国的移民（美国）及其当地国家的移民。 AC3会员资格是反式的 纪律（基础和人口科学研究人员，临床医生和癌症倡导者），包括三个 互连网络（美国，加勒比海和非洲）。我们2023年会议主题：“社区到分子 早期筛查和诊断的方法，通过护理的连续体促进公平的结果 在非洲血统中的癌症中”反映了我们会员的跨学科构成。 而且，正如我们在先前的会议上所取得的那样，我们的2023年会议组织委员会，发言人和 观众将完全反映我们会员的多样性。在美国和全球，癌症杀死更多的黑人 比其他任何种族/族裔群体。大量的过早癌症死亡也主要发生在黑色 撒哈拉以南非洲和加勒比海地区的国家。黑人种群的癌症研究仍然深刻 不仅在美国，而且在非洲和加勒比海的黑人统治国家中都缺乏。数量 来自非洲和加勒比海的生物医学研究出版物正在增加，但差异仍然存在 研究文章的重点是癌症。在NCI Grant中，黑人科学家的人数也不足 收件人。因此，训练有素的黑人科学家的国际干部增加了急需的多样性 在全球癌症研究人员中。考虑到美国黑人人口的多样性，癌症研究 加勒比海和非洲是包容性的，对于在美国解决癌症分布也至关重要 研究方法在美国将是最有益的，因为这些研究对于告知和改进至关重要 美国黑人的干预，治疗和预防癌症。 AC3科学和培训 因此，会议是合理，及时和有用的。我们以癌症为中心的培训，科学交流和 协作计划研讨会将是AC3努力加速癌症研究，进步的繁荣 黑人科学家的职业，并提供了研究影响黑人的癌症差异的创新机会 在美国。以下是具体目的：1）通过提供专业发展来增强多样性， 教育和科学培训，以加强健康差异研究，技能和能力 代表性不足和服务不足的早期调查人员和学生。 2）促进知识交流 非洲人群中癌症科学的研究，并增加了研究发展和 黑人人群研究的协调。 3）通过科学提供促进健康平等 严格，临床和文化知识的研究，以提高社区利益，以改善 知识，对癌症风险的认识，降低癌症风险和预防策略。
