摘要

BackgroundIn 2000 and in two subsequent five-year cycles, the National Cancer Institute funded grantees on a regional and national basis to address community needs for cancer awareness, research, and training. The Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training (AANCART) was fortunate to be funded since 2000 to focus on mitigating cancer health disparities facing Asian Americans residing primarily in California and Hawaii. This paper highlights its achievements with respect to the original Specific Aims and unanticipated outcomes in its most recent funded cycle.
