## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The overarching goals of the Texas Pediatric (TP) NCORP MU formerly the South Texas Pediatric (STP)
NCORP MU are to: 1) Decrease healthcare disparities faced by children, adolescents and young adults
(AYAs) diagnosed with cancer and living in the TP NCORP MU catchment area by increasing enrollment
on clinical trials; 2) Expand the TP NCORP MU’s involvement in the Cancer Care Delivery Research
(CCDR) arena; and 3) Maintain and retain a cadre of trained Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) to
support participation of children and AYAs with cancer in the NCTN and NCORP clinical trials in their
community.
To achieve our goals, activities targeting providers, patients/families and systems will be utilized.
Recruitment strategies using innovative digital media platforms along with increase access to treatment
centers along the Texas-Mexico border and increased availability of Spanish-translated
research/education documents will be implemented. Development of new CCDR concepts and
investigator-initiated health-disparities research projects focusing on the hurdles experienced by the
children and AYAs treated in our catchment area will be undertaken. Mentoring and education programs
for our investigators and CRAs will be developed.
