The key products and services to be delivered include: Profiling regulatory element...
This $946,500 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) aims to test the effectiveness of strategies to promote high-quality, evidence-based cancer survivorship care in rural primary care practices in Kansas. The project, titled "KANSURVIVE 2.0", will implement a three-arm cluster-randomized, multi-level intervention to provide...
This $998,444 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) federal grant program will support implementation and evaluation of a primary care-based cancer survivorship care delivery intervention at 8 community health clinics in Texas. The project aims to enhance the capacity of these clinics to provide high-quality, coordinated cancer survivorship care, particularly for underserved and uninsured populations. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $591,691 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) will fund a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to evaluate an intervention called "Current Together After Cancer" (CTAC) for promoting guideline-concordant colorectal cancer surveillance among stage II and III colorectal cancer survivors. The key objectives are to (1) determine the effect of CTAC on improving survivors' knowledge about and...
This $1,751,176 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) is supporting a research effort by Case Western Reserve University to develop and validate a novel radiomic tumor response (RadTR) classifier for accurately identifying complete response to neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancer patients. The key products and services being delivered through this 5-year project include: Developing a radiomic-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the federal Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), provides $1,063,155 to Wild Dog Physics LLC to develop and test a novel, comprehensive medical physics quality assurance (QA) device called the RetrieveTM.
