An overview of NACR's services click here about NACR

• NACR develops and tests programs and interventions designed to prevent and/or control cancer, including:
  • Risk reduction
  • Screening (early detection)
  • Education
  • Training
  • Control
  • Treatment
  • Support or study of cancer and cancer-related issues among Native Americans.
• NACR does this through conducting and promoting research, education and training.

Our mission is to reduce cancer incidence and increase survival among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN)

• How this mission is addressed:
  • Partnering with non-Native organizations or institutions
  • Partnering with other Native organizations locally, nationally, internationally
  • Conducting and promoting research, education and training in the cancer continuum (outreach through end-of-life)

NACR's Research Caveats

• The community must directly benefit from participating in community-based research ("benefit" includes some type of service or education intervention that is beyond taking part in a survey).
• The research needs to address the community's health priorities in a culturally respectful manner, while at the same time address health research priorities of the funding agency.
• Applied research in the community must be culturally respectful and invariably will include modifications that allow for options that are relevant to the local AI/AN community and are likely to differ from academic theory.
• Members of the community-based "team" need to be included in leadership/decision-making roles in every step of the research project, including the planning phase through dissemination
