Community Engagement Core

社区参与核心：项目总结 肺癌的差异归因于从预防到治疗的连续统一体中存在的各种因素。 生存。解决这些差距需要采取协作办法， 社区居民和科学家。从一个创新的社区到板凳框架的原则， TRACER领导层提出社区参与核心（CE），以支持其研究目标， 更重要的是，确保通过研究缩小这些差距的差距的长期影响。 CE Core的总体目标是将科学家和社区利益相关者联系起来， TRACER的研究结果，并共同制定创新战略，在解决肺问题的背景下做到这一点 癌症差异在经验丰富的多学科团队的领导下， 作为多区域咨询委员会的一部分，CE核心将实现以下目标： CE核心服务跨其他TRACER研究项目/试点和核心。CE核心将协助研究 征聘项目调查员，并提供翻译和传播调查结果的培训， 社区.此外，核心，包括社区成员，将教育调查人员如何雇用 社区外展和参与（COE）到他们的研究使用一个演示器开发的，基于网络的 教育工具，COE 101。最后，CE核心将为生物标本/病理学核心提供培训， 侧重于招募代表性不足的群体，以提供生物标本，并帮助融入社区 参与方法，招募参与者，传播试点研究项目的结果 发展研究计划（DRP）。目标2.提供技术援助和培训 社区利益相关者，使他们能够支持TRACER赞助的研究项目和核心。CE核心 研究人员将确定和培训社区居民作为肺部健康研究的拥护者。他们将共同 教育社区组织关于赠款写作过程，为社区提供种子赠款 组织肺癌教育、宣传和其他相关活动，提供戒烟 服务，并建立肺癌筛查导航能力。目标3：促进翻译和 传播TRACER发现，以解决生物学、环境、行为和临床知识差距 在肺癌的连续体中。CE核心将使用基于证据的传播模式， 实施研究成果成功转化为有效的临床干预措施， 社区一级。

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CORE: PROJECT SUMMARY Lung cancer disparities are attributed to various factors that exist across the continuum from prevention to survivorship. Addressing these disparities requires a collaborative approach that integrates expertise of community residents and scientists. Incorporating tenets from an innovative Community-to-Bench framework, the TRACER leadership proposes the Community Engagement Core (CE) to support its research goals and more importantly, to ensure the long term impact of closing the gap in these disparities as a result of the research. The overall goals of CE Core are to connect scientists and community stakeholders, translate and disseminate TRACER research findings, and co-develop innovative strategies to do this within the context of addressing lung cancer disparities. Under the leadership of an experienced multidisciplinary team and in partnership with multiregional advisory boards, the CE Core will execute the following aims: Aim 1: Facilitate the integration of the CE Core services across other TRACER research projects/pilots and cores. The CE Core will assist research project investigators with recruitment and provide training on translation and dissemination of findings to communities. Additionally, the Core, including community members, will educate investigators on how to employ community outreach and engagement (COE) into their research using an investigator-developed, web-based educational tool, COE 101. Lastly, the CE Core will provide training for the Biospecimen/Pathology Core that focuses on recruiting underrepresented groups to provide biospecimens and aid with incorporating community engagement approaches, recruiting participants, and disseminating findings for the pilot research projects supported with the Developmental Research Program (DRP). Aim 2. Provide technical assistance and training to community stakeholders so that they can support TRACER-sponsored research projects and cores. CE Core investigators will identify and train community residents as lung health research champions. Together, they will educate community organizations about the grant writing process, provide seed grants to community organizations for lung cancer education, awareness, and other relevant activities, provide tobacco cessation services, and build capacity for lung cancer screening navigation. Aim 3: Facilitate the translation and dissemination of TRACER findings to address biological, environmental, behavioral, and clinical knowledge gaps across the lung cancer continuum. The CE Core will use evidence-based models of dissemination and implementation for the successful translation of research findings to effective interventions at the clinical and community level.
