Background: A health workforce trained to conduct cancer research is needed to meet the needs of persons seeking comprehensive cancer care, including prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship care. Research has described many cancer disparities across the United States, but more research is needed to determine barriers to care and effective strategies to improve the health of all Americans.
In 2019, our team received funding from NCI to develop a curriculum to prepare researchers to complete cancer research. We completed our pilot workshop with 20 participants in the spring of 2021. Starting in 2023, we received funding to implement our curriculum and we have trained 30 researchers annually.
Mission and Values: In order to strengthen the evidence base for high quality and culturally competent care, the mission of Cancer CARE is to nurture and prepare the workforce conducting research across the cancer continuum from prevention through survivorship.
We do this through:
- Training early career researchers on critical issues in cancer care & research;
- Orienting workshop participants to key research methods;
- Highlighting key analytic frameworks; and
- Facilitating access to a network of like-minded professionals for collaboration on innovative research projects.
