New guidelines for Cancer Center Support Grants have recently been issued by the NCI that require increased attention to cancer center catchment areas and their community outreach and engagement activities [PAR-21-321]. Past experience with these requirements has engendered some confusion and frustration on the part of both researchers and reviewers that these new guidelines aim to dispel. In this commentary we, as experienced cancer center leaders in population sciences, offer our views on the most important aspects of the new guidelines and provide three examples of the kinds of programs that can apply cancer prevention and control research to improve cancer population health. With 71 NCI-Designated Cancer Centers in 36 states, the potential for broad impact on the reduction of the nation's cancer burden is enormous if the intended application of cancer center research to individuals and populations is fulfilled.
美国国立卫生研究院（NCI）最近发布了癌症中心支持拨款的新指南，要求更加关注癌症中心的服务范围及其社区外展和参与活动[PAR-21-321]。过去在这些要求方面的经验给研究人员和评审人员都带来了一些困惑和挫折，这些新指南旨在消除这些问题。在这篇评论中，作为在人群科学领域有经验的癌症中心领导者，我们提出了对新指南最重要方面的看法，并提供了三个可以将癌症预防和控制研究应用于改善癌症人群健康的项目示例。美国有 36 个州的 71 个 NCI 指定癌症中心，如果能够实现将癌症中心的研究应用于个人和人群的预期目标，那么对减少国家癌症负担的广泛影响是巨大的。
