The National Cancer Institute awarded Emory University $2,858,084 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to design and test a mobile application that re-engages young adult survivors of childhood cancer in risk-based surveillance care after their transition from pediatric to adult healthcare settings. The project, titled "Using SurvivorLink to Re-Engage Adults in Cancer Care After Transition" (SurvivorLink RE-ACCT), addresses the discontinuation of survivor care among young adult survivors of childhood cancer following healthcare transition. The work comprises three aims: co-design of a novel mobile application with 30 young adult survivors and 20 clinicians, informed by iterative usability testing and adaptations to the existing SurvivorLink platform to support information sharing, self-management, and educational content (Aim 1); a randomized clinical trial with 170 young adult survivors aged 29.99 years transferring to adult survivor care to assess efficacy and implementation of the SurvivorLink RE-ACCT app, measuring re-engagement in survivor care through attendance at risk-based surveillance appointments within 18 months post-discharge from pediatrics (Aim 2); and organizational readiness assessments among 20 pediatric cancer centers (Aim 3). The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030. Work is performed in Atlanta, Georgia.
