Comments to Organizers:
The NCI Community Networks Program (Leslie Cooper et al) requested that I submit this abstract and participate on a panel of junior investigators who are performing community-based participatory research with racial minorities. It is my understanding the CNP and CRCHD will write a request to have this and other submissions combined for a special session. Please contact Timothy Willis (twillis@csrincorporated.com) or Leslie Cooper (lc58q@nih.gov) for more information. Thank You.
