# Administrative Supplements to Cancer Center Support Grants to Strengthen NCI-Supported Community Outreach Capacity Through Community Health Educators of the National Outreach Network (2)

> **NIH NIH P30** · DANA-FARBER CANCER INST · 2021 · $19,167

## Abstract

Project Summary
The Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) has recently launched the Center for Cancer Equity and
Engagement (CCEE) as a central part of the DF/HCC mission to ensure our research impacts on our
catchment area (MA), and addresses cancer health disparities. Starting with a strategic planning initiative that
began in 2018, we identified a series of key priorities in MA. Two of these are improved accrual of minority and
underserved patients to clinical trials and increased HPV vaccination. Thus, the goal of this supplement is to
facilitate participation of minorities in clinical trials and to implement HPV outreach and vaccination initiative in
MA residents, with an emphasis on underserved minority populations. To achieve this goal, we have hired a
community health educator (CHE) in the CCEE who will be able to address clinical trial and HPV-related
activities to fulfill the mission of the DF/HCC to have impact in our catchment area and address high priority
cancer health disparities.
First, the CHE will lead initiatives being developed by the DF/HCC Task Force for Minority Accrual to Clinical
Trials. These include educational activities for clinicians and staff regarding best practices for minority accrual
to clinical trials. These activities will also include developing structures for increased access including patient
navigation, transportation, and other current limitations for potentially eligible clinical trial participants.
Second, the CHE will engage in HPV-related clinical trials accrual among underserved populations, and to
enhance HPV outreach and vaccination initiatives in MA. Our specific aims are: 1) To increase the participation
of racial and ethnic minorities in clinical trials of HPV and HPV-related cancers, and 2) to implement the HPV
outreach and vaccination initiative in MA. These activities will address cancer health disparities related to HPV
infection and its health consequences.
