CLEAR-LUNG Project The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $769,923 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to Hackensack University Medical Center, effective July 20, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The grant supports the CLEAR-LUNG (Community-Level Effectiveness to Advance Reach in Lung Cancer Screening) initiative, a community-based participatory research study designed to improve lung cancer screening uptake among Black adults in New York and New Jersey. The primary deliverable is a rigorous evaluation of the Witness Project Lung intervention—a culturally adapted, peer- and narrative-based educational program—compared against a general cancer education control program through a Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized trial involving 400 participants. The study will measure verified lung cancer screening completion rates at six months as the primary outcome, supplemented by secondary assessments of individual-level factors (mistrust, stigma, knowledge, and barriers), interpersonal dynamics (social influence and sharing), and community-level environmental factors. The project additionally delivers implementation science research products addressing mechanisms of behavior change, contextual moderators affecting screening completion, and pragmatic sustainability metrics using RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) indicators and stakeholder engagement data. By situating lung cancer education and navigation within trusted community venues rather than healthcare systems, this initiative addresses persistent disparities in lung cancer survival among Black Americans through evidence-based, accessible interventions designed for broader dissemination.Federal Grant Award Summary
