Special Populations Research
Multidisciplinary research aimed at addressing and modifying the excessive cancer incidence and/or mortality rates, the lower cancer survival rates, or the inadequate cancer prevention and control services for special populations. The term "special populations" refers to those population segments that may experience, or are known to experience, high cancer rates and/or are underserved in terms of cancer prevention and control programs. Special populations include Alaskan natives, American Indians, Hispanics, Asian- Americans, Blacks, blue-collar groups, the elderly, lower-income groups, native Hawaiians, and American Samoans.
