Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults with cancer who are potential participants in clinical trials and who face barriers to enrollment.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not eligible for trials or those not seeking trial participation may see limited direct benefit.
What this research studies
This grant supports a coordinated effort to remove barriers that stop patients with cancer from joining clinical trials. It will implement multilevel outreach and education strategies, and build a robust data, evaluation, and coordination center to track progress. The team will work with trial investigators, NCI staff, and stakeholders to create streamlined processes, governance, and rapid sharing of effective methods and tools. The goal is to increase trial accrual and ensure that diverse patient populations have opportunities to participate. This is a patient-facing effort focused on improving access to experimental treatments through better systems and collaboration.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients with cancer may have more opportunities to participate in trials and access cutting-edge therapies sooner.
How similar studies have gone: Previous efforts show that coordinated outreach and data-sharing can improve trial enrollment, though results vary by setting and population.
