Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are patients and communities affected by advanced cancer who may benefit from enhanced access to information, outreach, and education through a coordinated partnership.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not engaged by or living far from both partner institutions may experience limited direct benefits from this core.
What this research studies
This grant backs an Administrative Core that unites leaders from Memorial Sloan Kloan (MSK) and The City College of New York (CCNY) to keep partnership activities organized and moving forward. It funds biweekly PI meetings, quarterly committees, and annual planning to align goals, share resources, and support researchers and students. The core also ensures access to research facilities and fosters education and engagement across partner sites to reach communities affected by advanced cancer. The focus is on coordinating efforts, communication, and program evaluation rather than conducting a specific clinical trial itself.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could streamline cancer health equity initiatives and speed up reaching underserved patients with advanced cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Coordination and education cores have shown improvements in research collaboration and community outreach in similar health equity initiatives.
