Abstract

Linguistic and Cultural Responsiveness Shared Resource Core (LCRSRC) The CCNY-MSK Partnership continues to grow the LCRSRC for this next Partnership cycle, to respond to the tremendous need for linguistic and cultural inclusiveness to reduce cancer disparities, and to leverage the great strengths, expertise, and tools of the U54 partners in this area. The LCRSRC's goal is to provide linguistically and culturally responsive support to the U54 Partnership Cores (Research Education, PCORE), Research Projects, and Working Groups (Immunotherapy Access, Biomedical Engineering, Health Policy, Discrimination and Health), and to build the capacity of U54-connected researchers and community members to reduce cancer disparities by conducting community-engaged, culturally and linguistically inclusive translational research, outreach, education, and navigation. The specific aims of the LCRSR are: 1) to provide research consultation support and training in the selection and/or design of specific linguistically and culturally responsive quantitative survey tools, research study materials, educational materials, and practices for the U54 Research Projects, PCORE, and Research Education cores; 2) to assist CCNY, MSK, and community U54 investigators in the design, implementation, and analysis of qualitative research with diverse populations: to assist in the translation and transcreation of focus group, key informant, and in-depth interview guides; to provide multilingual focus group, key informant, and in- depth interview facilitation, and multilingual transcription and translation services for qualitative studies; 3) to access the CCNY Grove School of Engineering expertise to enable U54-linked studies and programs to utilize remote simultaneous medical interpreting (RSMI) (UN-style interpreting) to enable seamless communication between LEP community members, researchers, and PCORE, including with a focus on precision medicine/precision prevention and immunotherapy: (a) to utilize this resource to help enable MSK Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets to Eliminate Disparities (IMPACTED) genomics studies to engage LEP patients at community cancer centers and facilitate genetic testing and shared decision making; (b) to utilize RSMI to help engage community members in clinical trials, precision screening and prevention, and immunotherapy education, services, and studies; and (c) to continuously monitor Artificial Intelligence (AI) potential as a simultaneous medical Interpretation resource, with its potential efficiencies of scale and capacity for almost unlimited dissemination; and 4) to support the dissemination of the CCNY Minor/Major in Medical Interpretation and Translation, to impart to bilingual CCNY students the skills to provide translation and interpretation services for cancer outreach, education, service delivery, and research, and to build the LCRSRC capacity in these areas. The LCRSR will improve the way that translational cancer r...
