The CANOE Partnership: Cancer Awareness, Navigation, Outreach, and Equitable Indigenous Health Outcomes responds to the need to improve cancer outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Our Overall Specific Aims are: (1) Improve rates of cessation of commercial tobacco smoking among a nationally recruited sample of AI/AN adults (Research Project 1); 2) Improve rates of lung cancer screenings among our Tribal partner populations in the Consortium’s catchment area (Research Project 3); 3)Prepare the next generation of researchers in Indigenous cancer equity and provide them with resources to obtain preliminary data to inform future cancer equity research in Indian Country (Pilot Grant Program); and 4) Develop infrastructure to support equitable engagement of Tribal partners and Indigenous Frameworks in cancer research.
