Core 2: Recruitment and Retention Shared Resource Core

AMPLIFI招聘和保留（RR）共享资源核心（SRC）的主要目标是 通过提供以下服务，支持AMPLIFI项目和适应、传播和实施（ADI）SRC 招聘和保留服务。成功招募和留住研究参与者 项目对科学发现至关重要，而且往往是生存研究的重大挑战。这个SRC 建立在RR SRC领导人和其他AMPLIFI调查人员的出色集体工作的基础上，他们成功地 在过去的二十年里，招募癌症幸存者进行研究。SRC利用令人印象深刻的 伯明翰亚拉巴马大学的招聘和保留共享设施（RRSF） UAB综合癌症中心是一个国家认可的少数民族招募网站， 包括前列腺、肺癌、结直肠癌和卵巢癌（PLCO）筛查在内的几项大型国家工作 癌症护理结果研究和监测联盟（CanCORS）。RR SRC 具体目标是：（1）招募参与者参加非洲土著人民发展举措项目和非洲工业发展举措区域协调中心。招聘目标是 852名患有肥胖/体力活动相关癌症的幸存者，5年生存率>70%（即，第一阶段多次 骨髓瘤，局限性肾癌和结肠直肠，女性乳腺，前列腺癌， 子宫内膜和卵巢）;诊断后1-5年;完成原发性癌症 治疗;和谁没有转移或复发。RR SRC将使用基于人群的确定 方法从四个州癌症登记处（AL，MS，NC，TN）招募幸存者， 老年人，农村和服务不足的少数民族。RR SRC还将为ADI SRC招募48名利益相关者 活动将编制招募材料和建立网站，以提高幸存者的认识， 研究的知识。此外，虽然导航方法已被用于招募主要是癌症 治疗试验，RR SRC将以一种新颖的方式在这项行为研究中招募幸存者， 克服参与的个人障碍。RR SRC将全面和单独监测招聘率 为老年人、农村和得不到充分服务的少数群体幸存者提供服务，并持续应对征聘挑战; (2)留住参与者。留住学员的有针对性的计划将以防止辍学为目标 在小学（通过仔细筛选潜在参与者从招募开始留住人才）、中学（早期 确定可能辍学的幸存者）和第三级（辍学的康复参与者）， 研究者，参与者和上下文域。与征聘办法一样，留用将包括 通过提高研究意识和知识的原则，以及 导航进场总之，RR SRC团队与其他AMPLIFI调查人员和 RRSF的专业人员，是唯一的和特殊的定位，以实现拟议的目标， 加速实现AMPLIFI目标，并为生存研究的进步做出贡献。

The primary objective of the AMPLIFI Recruitment and Retention (RR) Shared Resource Core (SRC) is to support the AMPLIFI Projects and the Adaptation, Dissemination and Implementation (ADI) SRC by providing recruitment and retention services. The successful recruitment and retention of study participants to research projects is critical to scientific discovery, and often a significant challenge in survivorship research. This SRC builds on exceptional collective work of the RR SRC leaders and other AMPLIFI investigators who successfully recruited cancer survivors to research studies for the past two decades. The SRC leverages an impressive facility at the University of Alabama at Birmingham: the Recruitment and Retention Shared Facility (RRSF) of the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center is a nationally recognized minority recruitment site that has served in several large national efforts including the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial and the Cancer Care Outcomes Research and Surveillance Consortium (CanCORS). The RR SRC specific aims are to: (1) Recruit participants to AMPLIFI projects and ADI SRCs. The recruitment goal is 852 survivors with obesity/physical activity related cancers that have >70% 5-year survival (i.e., stage I multiple myeloma, localized kidney cancer and loco-regional cancers of the colorectum, female breast, prostate, endometrium, and ovary); who are from 1-5 years from diagnosis; who have completed primary cancer treatment; and who have no metastasis or recurrence. The RR SRC will use population-based ascertainment methods to recruit survivors from four state cancer registries (AL, MS, NC, TN) with a significant representation of older, rural and underserved minorities. The RR SRC will also recruit the 48 stakeholders for ADI SRC activities. Recruitment materials and a website will be developed to enhance survivors' awareness and knowledge of research. Moreover, while a navigation approach has been used to recruit to primarily cancer therapeutic trials, the RR SRC will use it in a novel way to recruit survivors in this behavioral research to overcome personal barriers to participation. The RR SRC will monitor recruitment yield overall and separately for older, rural and underserved minority survivors, and address recruitment challenges on an on-going basis; (2) Retain participants in AMPLIFI. A purposeful plan for retaining participants will target drop-out prevention at the primary (retention starting at recruitment by carefully screening potential participant), secondary (early identification of survivors who may drop-out) and tertiary (recovering participants who drop-out) level in Researcher, Participant and Contextual domains. As in the approach to recruitment, retention will include simple, proven measures enriched by the principles of enhancing research awareness and knowledge, and a navigation approach. In summary, the RR SRC team, together with other AMPLIFI investigators and the professional staff of the RRSF, is uniquely and exceptionally positioned to achieve the proposed aims, expedite the achievement of AMPLIFI goals, and contribute to the advancement of survivorship research.
