Upskilling Community Cancer Centers: A Training Pilot Hints at Promising Ways to Boost Oncology Clinical Research - Kara Bastarache, et al; Applied Clinical Trials Online

The pilot project aimed to build clinical research capacity and enhance diversity in oncology trials at community cancer centers. Phase 1 identified barriers such as patient recruitment, staffing, and training needs, while Phase 2 provided targeted training to research-naïve programs. Training improved participants' knowledge and confidence, suggesting potential for increased trial access and diversity in community settings. The initiative offers a scalable model for enhancing research readiness and expanding clinical trial sites across the U.S.
