Health Disparities Summit 2007
Cancer Health Disparities Summit 2007 (Summit 07) allows us the opportunity to build on last year's meeting, which outlined a wide range of recommendations to guide programs despite programmatic challenges and budget constraints. Summit 07 will focus on the next steps of developing strategies to implement those recommendations, including promoting synergy, developing research concepts, and strengthening research platforms. This year we are happy to continue our collaboration with the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) and welcome a new partner, National Center on Research Resources (NCRR). The Summit 07 program will feature highlights of grantees in defined
regions that have implemented successful program strategies and share
accomplishments and challenges across several crosscutting themes:
