Description
Abstract:	Proceedings from enhancing interactions to reduce cancer health disparities evolved from an NCI-wide workshop held November 17 and 18, 2005 on the NIH campus involving more than 250 participants from virtually every NCI division, office, and center. The purpose of the workshop was to convene representatives from the entire Institute to take stock of the health disparities programs, studies, and initiatives that are being implemented across NCI; encourage trans-institute collaborations; and propose overarching objectives and feasible action plans for reducing cancer health disparities. These objectives and action plans provide a foundation for developing a business plan that: aligns with NCI's priority of overcoming cancer health disparities in the 2006 Strategic Plan, and contributes to achieving the NCI Challenge Goal of eliminating suffering and death due to cancer for all Americans.
