Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are individuals affected by advanced cancer who participate in community engagement activities or are part of patient-serving research networks within the partnership region.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not involved in the partnership or community engagement activities may see indirect benefits but are not the primary focus of this core.
What this research studies
From a patient’s viewpoint, this core strengthens how researchers measure the impact of cancer studies and shared resources across Temple University Fox Chase Cancer Center and Hunter College. It uses a data-driven approach to plan, monitor, and report on progress, costs, and outcomes. It also enhances collaboration with community members to ensure research directions reflect patient and community needs. The core builds on an existing digital platform to collect and analyze data on how well cancer research translates into real-world benefits for patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could help ensure cancer research leads to clearer benefits for patients and communities through better planning and evaluation.
How similar studies have gone: Similar planning and evaluation activities have improved accountability and alignment of research with patient needs in multi-center cancer initiatives.
