This Project Grant award of $1,655,744 from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) under the Nursing Research program (CFDA 93.361) supports the development and evaluation of a web-based toolkit called "CONNECT" that aims to improve cancer-related emotional distress and anxiety for rural older cancer survivors (ROCS).

The project has three key components: 1) Adapting the CONNECT toolkit based on feedback from a pilot usability study to include functions for synchronous communication with caregivers to provide digital literacy assistance; 2) Conducting a 2-arm randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the adapted CONNECT toolkit for improving cancer-related distress among ROCS-caregiver dyads; and 3) Examining implementation and sustainability outcomes through exit interviews. The goal is to inform future integration of CONNECT across multiple healthcare systems. A sub-award of unspecified amount was provided to the University of Colorado-Denver to support the research.
