Cancer Outreach Core

项目摘要：癌症外展核心 癌症外展核心(COC)将应用社区参与研究(CENR)框架，以促进和 在我们的Meharry医学院/Vanderbilt-Ingram培养机构之间的整合和伙伴关系 癌症中心/田纳西州立大学癌症伙伴关系(MVTCP)。COC将与我们的 社区合作伙伴将有意义的社区参与纳入研究和外联活动，以确保 MVTCP活动反映了受影响最大的人群的需求和关切 14个县的纳什维尔大都会统计区癌症健康差异。的首要目标是 COC旨在通过利用社区合作伙伴的优势来促进减少癌症健康差距 支持和加强癌症研究和外展工作，具体目标如下： 1)加强社区协作，加快方案和政策的研究和实施 旨在减少癌症负担和差异；2)促进战略研究和多样化/包容性临床 与社区需求相关的试用参与；以及3)制定创新的外展和教育战略，以 支持MVTCP利益相关方的能力建设。这些目标将通过以下方式实现： 通过强大的社区咨询委员会(CAB)与其他MVTCP核心建立COC，并定期 为MVTCP研究项目提供咨询。鉴于黑人之间存在显著的地区死亡率差异(比较 对白人)患有前列腺癌的男性，代表田纳西州前列腺癌联盟的出租车成员 合作开展了试点工作，最终提交了前列腺癌更新的完整项目。越高 卵巢癌的区域性发病率导致通过CAB建立的卵巢癌支持小组的形成 成员，从而能够持续支持一个以卵巢癌为重点的试点项目。在上一次授权期内，COC 帮助促进将传播和实施科学纳入中央审查委员会，这有助于 本次更新中的完整项目重点是乳腺癌风险评估。COC将促进双向 传播，将社区意见带入项目，并向社区传播成果。此外， 负责研究项目的MVTCP调查人员将向CAB提供演示，并听取有关 面向外行观众的演讲。通过管理核心进行协调，COC将与 癌症公平资源共享中的转化病理学、人群研究和临床试验 核心，以开发一个关于生物检疫捐献的教育模块。以研究型教育为核心 学生将利用旨在减少癌症差异的新技术参与社区推广活动。 生物统计和生物信息学共享资源核心将为所需的定量分析提供投入 对于cenr项目。规划和评价核心将参与

PROJECT SUMMARY: CANCER OUTREACH CORE The Cancer Outreach Core (COC) will apply a community-engaged research (CEnR) framework to facilitate and nurture integration and partnership between the institutions in our Meharry Medical College/Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center/Tennessee State University Cancer Partnership (MVTCP). The COC will engage with our community partners to incorporate meaningful community engagement into research and outreach to ensure that MVTCP activities are reflecting the needs and concerns of those populations that are most affected by cancer health disparities in the 14-county Nashville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The overarching goal of the COC is to facilitate the reduction of cancer health disparities by leveraging the strengths of community partners to support and enhance cancer research and outreach efforts which will be addressed by the following Specific Aims: 1) enhance community collaborations to accelerate research and implementation of programs and policy designed to reduce cancer burden and disparities; 2) facilitate strategic research and diverse/inclusive clinical trial participation relevant to community needs; and 3) develop innovative outreach and education strategies to support capacity building of MVTCP stakeholders. These aims will be achieved through the collaboration of the COC with other MVTCP cores, through a robust Community Advisory Board (CAB), and through regularly consulting with MVTCP research projects. Given the significant regional mortality disparity among Black (compared to white) men with prostate cancer, a CAB member representing the Prostate Cancer Coalition of Tennessee collaborated on the pilot work that led to the submission of a full project in this renewal on prostate cancer. The higher regional rates of ovarian cancer led to the formation of an ovarian cancer support group established through a CAB member, enabling ongoing support of a pilot project focused on ovarian cancer. During the last grant period, COC helped to foster incorporation of dissemination and implementation science into the CEnR which contributed to the full project in this renewal focused on breast cancer risk assessment. The COC will facilitate bi-directional communications, bringing community input to the projects and disseminating results to the community. Furthermore, MVTCP investigators leading research projects will provide presentations to the CAB and receive feedback on presenting to lay audiences. With coordination through the Administrative Core, the COC will collaborate with the Translational Pathology and Population Research and Clinical Trials in Cancer Equity Shared Resource Cores to develop an educational module about biospecimen donation. With the Research Education Core students will be engaged in community outreach utilizing new technologies aiming to reduce cancer disparities. The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource Core will provide input on quantitative analyses required for CEnR projects. The Planning and Evaluation Core will participate in the
