for Cancer Awareness and Research
Training Award
 n
collaboration with the Department of Oncological Sciences and
with the support of a five-year NCI grant, the East Harlem Partnership for Cancer
Awareness has been formed. The principal aim of this program is to build on the
unique individual and collective strengths of an existing East Harlem community
health partnership to develop educational strategies that reduce barriers to
cancer screening for minority and other disadvantaged populations. The program
focuses on five cancer sites: breast, prostate, cervical, colorectal, and lung.
The program will serve as a platform to develop focused strategies and interventions
to increase cancer screening, early detection, and disease management among underserved
populations and to increase participation in cancer research by minority investigators.
