The major goal of the Community Outreach Core is to reduce the burden of prostate, lung and pancreatic cancers through: bidirectional engagement of our communities; partnerships with core leaders and project investigators to foster community input and the dissemination of scientific information to high risk communities; and use of evidence-based cancer education and materials for community outreach.
The Community Outreach Core delivers evidence-based prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and clinical trials education programs with the goal of improving their knowledge, fostering risk-reduction behaviors, and improving participation biomedical research.
The CaRE2 Community Scientist Research Ambassador training program builds on our previous experience training cancer research supporters and Community Health Workers. Trainee selection is through a competitive application process. Training techniques employed include independent learning, lectures and experiential learning.
The Community Outreach Core disseminates prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer scientific discoveries with public health, and we distribute toolkits and brochures in both English and Spanish.
The purpose of the CaRE2 Contact Registry is to create a list of individuals who are interested in hearing about future research projects led by the CaRE2 Health Center and others that focus on learning more about preventing and eliminating cancer health differences.
If you share our interest in reducing cancer health disparities, please consider becoming a member of the CaRE² center. Investigators, trainees, community leaders, and advocates are welcome.
