Community Networks to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities: The National Cancer Institute, through its Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), invites cooperative agreement grant applications (U01) for Community Networks to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities Through Education, Research, and Training (Community Networks Program CNP). The purpose of the CNP is to reduce cancer health disparities by conducting community-based participatory education, training, and research among racial/ethnic minorities (e.g., African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans/Alaska Natives) and underserved populations (e.g., Appalachian, rural, low socioeconomic status and other underserved populations). The overall goals of this program are to significantly improve access to and utilization of beneficial cancer interventions in communities with cancer health disparities, thereby reducing these disparities. The CNP will be implemented in three phases. The goal of Phase I is to develop and increase capacity building to support community-based participatory education, research, and training to reduce cancer health disparities. The goal of Phase II is to develop community-based participatory research and training programs to reduce cancer health disparities. The goal of Phase III is to establish credibility and sustainability of the CNP.
