NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Community Sites (UG1 Clinical Trial Required)

SCOR项目概要/摘要 东南临床肿瘤学研究联盟（SCOR）是一个独特的组织， 由来自农村和大都市地区的21名社区成员组成， 三名经验丰富的首席研究员（PI）、一个领导理事会和SCOR 运营中心（SOC）。成员包括小型社区医院、医院系统、 和私人执业在六个州的地理区域（佛罗里达，格鲁吉亚，北卡罗来纳州，南 卡罗莱纳、田纳西和弗吉尼亚）。该应用程序的主要目标是将NCI临床 癌症护理交付研究（CCDR）到集水区。第二个目标是 促进使用有效的、基于证据的做法，以提高护理质量、健康 结果，并减少癌症医疗差距。目前有230名调查人员， 160名临床研究人员在93个治疗性能研究中心参与国家癌症研究中心的研究， 研究所（NCI）。每个社区都有一名社区责任调查员进行监督 研究和确保人类受试者的保护。SCOR有一个年轻的研究员指导 旨在提高下一代NCI癌症研究人员参与度的计划 临床研究每个社区还有一名研究协调员，负责 临床操作。SCOR集水区包括1600多万人口， 少数民族、农村和医疗服务不足的人群。位于北卡罗来纳州温斯顿-塞勒姆的SOC提供 广泛的专业知识、监管协助、培训、监控、指导、教育，以及 协调以促进成员社区向其患者提供临床试验的能力 人口SOC工作人员每年至少对每个社区成员进行一次现场访问， 他们的研究计划和招聘策略，以确保合规性和质量数据 提交，并协助审计准备。这种基础设施允许人员不足的成员 社区进行NCI临床研究。高效、集中的SOC， PI的领导将促进实现本申请的目标。

SCOR Project Summary/Abstract The Southeast Clinical Oncology Research Consortium (SCOR) is a unique organization comprised of 21 community members from rural and metropolitan areas under the leadership of three experienced Principal Investigators (PIs), a Leadership Council, and the SCOR Operations Center (SOC). The members comprise small community hospitals, hospital systems, and private practices in a six-state geographical area (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia). The primary goal of this application is to bring NCI clinical trials and Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR) to the catchment area. A second goal is to facilitate the use of effective, evidence-based practices to improve the quality of care, health outcomes, and reduce cancer health care disparities. There are currently 230 investigators and 160 clinical research staff across 93 treatment performance sites engaged in National Cancer Institute (NCI) research. Each community has a Community Responsible Investigator to oversee research and to ensure human subjects protection. SCOR has a Young Investigator Mentoring Program designed to increase participation of the next generation of NCI investigators in cancer clinical research. Each community also has a research coordinator who is responsible for clinical operations. The SCOR catchment area includes over 16 million people with significant ethnic, rural, and medically underserved populations. The SOC in Winston-Salem, NC provides extensive expertise, regulatory assistance, training, monitoring, mentoring, education, and coordination to facilitate member community’s ability to provide clinical trials to their patient population. SOC staff conducts at least yearly site visits to each community member to review their research program and recruitment strategies, to ensure compliance and quality data submission, and to assist with audit preparation. This infrastructure allows understaffed member communities to conduct NCI clinical research. The efficient, centralized SOC and experienced PI leadership will facilitate accomplishment of the goals of this application.
