The Asian American Network for Cancer Awareness, Research, and Training in San Francisco (AANCART‐SF) consists of two distinct entities, working in cooperation to advance cancer awareness, research, and training among Asian Americans: a university‐based group with expertise in the Vietnamese community and a community‐based health plan with expertise in the Chinese community. In addition to the goals shared with other AANCART sites, AANCART‐SF is a unique effort in capacity building in that it aims to expand and export community‐academic research expertise from one Asian population, the Vietnamese, to other Asian populations. It also aims to build the research capability of those serving the Chinese community through a health plan. Cancer 2005. © 2005 American Cancer Society.
