- Spirit
of EAGLES: American Indian/Alaska Native Leadership Initiative
on Cancer
-
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations have very
high incidence rates for specific cancer sites and poor survival
rates for most cancers. This AI/AN Leadership Initiative on Cancer
addresses comprehensive tribal cancer control through partnerships
with The Network for Cancer Control Research among AI/AN populations,
tribes, multiple cancer centers, Cancer Information Services (CIS),
and the American Cancer Society (ACS). This Initiative will assist
tribes 1) to increase community awareness and understanding of
cancer, 2) to provide training in cancer control research for
AI/AN researchers, and 3) to improve native community channels
to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) so that research can be
specifically focused on issues that affect native people. (Posted,
