The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded $293,430 to the Regents of the University of Michigan under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. This project grant supports a comprehensive research initiative examining colon cancer care delivery within hub-and-spoke health system models. The principal investigator, a colorectal surgeon and health services researcher, will conduct three integrated research aims: (1) profiling the quality of multidisciplinary colon cancer care across hospitals within health systems by linking claims and registry data; (2) conducting focus groups with multidisciplinary providers, administrative leaders, and patient representatives to identify determinants of regional cancer care coordination within the World Health Organization health systems framework; and (3) designing a multilevel intervention based on implementation research methodologies. The project leverages Michigan's Collaborative Quality Initiatives as a learning laboratory to understand how healthcare consolidation impacts cancer care delivery and outcomes. The deliverables include quantitative quality profiles of colon cancer care across regional health systems, qualitative research characterizing barriers and facilitators to care coordination, and a designed multilevel intervention informed by convergent mixed methods analysis. This research aims to inform how health system structures differentially influence clinical outcomes and to develop evidence-based strategies for optimizing coordinated cancer care within consolidated healthcare delivery models.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
