项目摘要：共享的行为和基于社区的研究 资源 行为和基于社区的研究共享资源(BCSR)促进了行为、 西尔维斯特综合癌症的心理社会、社区、转化和基于人群的研究 中心(西尔维斯特)的调查人员。这些服务是西尔维斯特战略努力的基础，以解决 南佛罗里达州的癌症负担，西尔维斯特的四个县的集水区(布罗沃德，迈阿密-戴德，门罗， 和棕榈滩县)是美国最多元文化和多种语言的地区之一。奥尔文 Carrasquillo，医学博士，公共卫生硕士，全国公认的癌症差异和健康公平专家，领导BCSR 并得到了一位非常合格的助理主任Natasha Schaefer Solle博士的支持。 他们一起监督两名联席经理和十名工作人员，他们的背景反映了流域的情况 种族/民族和文化多样性，并具有提供广泛研究的丰富经验 临床和社区环境中的服务对西尔维斯特研究人员至关重要。BCSR的服务旨在： 1)协调招募和保留不同的研究参与者(例如性别、种族、族裔、性别 取向、语言和社会经济地位)代表西尔维斯特的集水区； 2)支持为文化和语言量身定做的学习材料的开发；3)便利数据和 在临床和社区环境中收集生物素；以及4)协助制定和提供 从预防到生存的整个癌症过程中的研究干预。2017年，BCSR服务于 36名调查员，其中23人是西尔维斯特成员(占BCSR使用量的%) 和/或进行了48项与癌症有关的研究，其中一半是由外部资助的。同年， BCSR帮助招募了1,885名研究参与者，主要来自以下四个县 西尔维斯特的集水区。BCSR为调查人员提供了关于文化适应性的指导 实施研究的方法，并支持翻译研究材料，如知情同意 表格和研究协议，翻译成西班牙语和/或海地克里奥尔语，以适应南佛罗里达州的语言 多样性和增强基础广泛的招聘潜力。2017年，BCSR翻译了大约150个 35项研究中28名研究人员的研究文件。在未来，BCSR将继续共同努力 与西尔维斯特的临床研究服务和开发Biosecimen共享资源，发展更多 采取强有力的方法，让社区参与并保持对西尔维斯特的研究。

PROJECT SUMMARY: BEHAVIORAL AND COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH SHARED RESOURCE The Behavioral and Community-Based Research Shared Resource (BCSR) facilitates behavioral, psychosocial, community, translational, and population-based research for Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (Sylvester) investigators. These services are fundamental to Sylvester’s strategic efforts to address the cancer burden within South Florida, Sylvester’s four-county catchment area (Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties)  one of the most multicultural and multilingual regions in the US. Olveen Carrasquillo, MD, MPH, a nationally recognized expert in cancer disparities and health equity, leads the BCSR and is supported in this endeavor by a highly qualified Assistant Director, Natasha Schaefer Solle, PhD. Together, they oversee two Co-Managers and ten staff members whose backgrounds reflect catchment area racial/ethnic and cultural diversity and who have extensive experience providing a wide array of research services in clinical and community settings critical for Sylvester investigators. The BCSR’s services aim to: 1) coordinate the recruitment and retention of diverse study participants (e.g. gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, language, and socioeconomic status) representative of Sylvester’s catchment area; 2) support the development of culturally and linguistically tailored study materials; 3) facilitate data and biospecimen collection in clinical and community settings; and 4) assist with the development and delivery of research interventions across the cancer continuum from prevention to survivorship. In 2017, the BCSR served 36 investigators, 23 of whom are Sylvester members (comprising 64% of BCSR usage), in the development and/or conduct of 48 cancer relevant studies, half of which were extramurally funded. In the same year, the BCSR aided in the recruitment of 1,885 research participants primarily from the four counties that comprise Sylvester’s catchment area. The BCSR provides guidance to investigators on culturally-appropriate approaches for study implementation and supports the translation of study materials, such as informed consent forms and research protocols, into Spanish and/or Haitian Creole to accommodate South Florida’s linguistic diversity and enhance broad-based recruitment potential. In 2017, the BCSR translated approximately 150 study documents for 28 investigators across 35 studies. In the future, the BCSR will continue to work together with Sylvester’s Clinical Research Service and developing Biospecimen Shared Resource to develop more robust approaches to engage and maintain community participation in Sylvester research studies.
