The Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research, and Training (AANCART) is the first special populations network for Asian Americans on a national basis and includes collaborating organizations from Boston, New York, Houston, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Hawaii, and Sacramento (where it is headquartered at the University of California, Davis). NCI funding of AANCART in 2000 brought together investigators and leaders from 9 cities across 6 states to establish an infrastructure for addressing cancer awareness, research, and training. Since 2000, AANCART has conducted needs assessments, held community awareness activities and trainings, trained trainees, sponsored National Asian American Cancer Control Academies, and produced presentations, publications, and grants. All specific aims have been attained, including the establishment of an infrastructure to promote Asian American cancer awareness, research, and training in 4 targeted regions; the establishment of partnerships to promote accrual to clinical trials, training, and pilot studies; and the formulation and successful implementation of grant-funded research to reduce the cancer burden among Asian Americans. AANCART's first 5 years have increased cancer awareness, trained special populations scientists, and advanced the field of Asian American cancer control research. Cancer 2006.

美国亚裔癌症意识、研究与培训网络（AANCART）是首个全国性的针对亚裔美国人的特殊人群网络，其合作组织来自波士顿、纽约、休斯顿、西雅图、旧金山、洛杉矶、夏威夷和萨克拉门托（其总部位于加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校所在的萨克拉门托）。2000年美国国立癌症研究所对AANCART的资助，汇聚了来自6个州9个城市的研究人员和领导者，以建立一个应对癌症意识、研究和培训的基础设施。自2000年以来，AANCART开展了需求评估，举办了社区意识活动和培训，培训了学员，赞助了全国亚裔美国人癌症控制学会，并进行了演讲、出版和资助。所有具体目标均已实现，包括在4个目标地区建立促进亚裔美国人癌症意识、研究和培训的基础设施；建立促进参与临床试验、培训和试点研究的伙伴关系；以及制定并成功实施由资助的研究以减轻亚裔美国人的癌症负担。AANCART的头5年提高了癌症意识，培训了特殊人群科学家，并推动了亚裔美国人癌症控制研究领域的发展。《癌症》2006年。（c）2006年美国癌症协会。
