Abstract

PURPOSE

The purpose of this paper is to describe the content for the Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness Research and Training (AANCART) with respect to Asian American demographic characteristics and their cancer burden, highlights of accomplishments in various AANCART regions, aspirations for AANCART, and an interim assessment of AANCART's activities to date.

METHODS

The author compiled literature and other data references to describe the context for Asian American demographic characteristics and their cancer burden. As the AANCART Principal Investigator, he collected data from internal AANCART reports to depict highlights of accomplishments in various AANCART regions and offer evidence that AANCART's first two specific aims have been attained.

PRINCIPAL FINDINGS

With respect to our first specific aim, we have built an infrastructure for cancer awareness, research and training operationally at a Network-wide basis through program directors for biostatistics, community, clinical, and research and in our four original AANCART regions: New York, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. With respect to our second specific aim, we have established partnerships as exemplified by working collaboratively with New York's Charles B. Wang Community Health Center in securing external funding with them for a tobacco control initiative and nationally with the American Cancer Society. With respect to our third specific aim, we have been fortunate to assist at least eight junior investigators in receiving NCI-funded pilot studies. The most notable change was the transfer of AANCART's national headquarters from Columbus, Ohio to Sacramento, California along with potentially an increased diversification of Asian American ethnic groups as well as an expansion to Hawaii and Houston.

CONCLUSION

As of the end of year 2 of AANCART, AANCART's two specific aims have been achieved. We are focusing on our third specific aim.

摘要

目的

本文旨在描述美国亚裔癌症意识、研究与培训网络（AANCART）在亚裔美国人人口特征及其癌症负担方面的内容，介绍AANCART各地区的主要成就、目标以及对AANCART迄今为止活动的中期评估。

方法

作者汇编文献及其他数据参考资料，以描述亚裔美国人人口特征及其癌症负担的背景。作为AANCART的首席研究员，他从AANCART内部报告中收集数据，以描述AANCART各地区的主要成就，并提供证据证明AANCART的前两个具体目标已经实现。

主要发现

关于我们的第一个具体目标，我们已通过生物统计学、社区、临床以及研究项目主任，在全网络范围内为癌症意识、研究和培训建立了基础设施，并在AANCART最初的四个地区：纽约、西雅图、旧金山和洛杉矶开展了相关工作。关于我们的第二个具体目标，我们已经建立了合作伙伴关系，例如与纽约的查尔斯·B·王社区健康中心合作，共同为一项烟草控制倡议争取外部资金，并与美国癌症协会在全国范围内开展合作。关于我们的第三个具体目标，我们有幸协助至少八位初级研究人员获得了美国国立癌症研究所资助的试点研究项目。最显著的变化是AANCART的国家总部从俄亥俄州哥伦布市迁至加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托市，同时亚裔美国人种族群体的多样性可能有所增加，并且业务扩展到了夏威夷和休斯顿。
