The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) has been awarded a $998,444 Cooperative Agreement by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) federal grant program. The 5-year project aims to implement and evaluate a primary care-based cancer survivorship care delivery intervention at 8 community health center sites in Texas. The goal is to improve patient and clinician outcomes for underserved cancer survivors who often receive care through community health centers. The study will use a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial design and mixed-methods implementation evaluation to generate evidence for scaling a generalist primary care-based model to enhance cancer survivorship care equitably. This award leverages UTHealth's extensive experience in community-engaged research with federally qualified health centers to address critical gaps in cancer survivorship care, especially for under- and uninsured populations.
