Abstract
ABSTRACT The Patient-Reported Outcomes, Community Engagement, and Language (PRO-CEL) Core enhances the objectives of the Center's research programs by supporting the array of MSK investigators who wish to capture self-reported information from culturally varied patients, caregivers, clinical staff, and community members. The faculty of the PRO-CEL Core are nationally recognized social, behavioral sciences, and community engagement experts who provide technical assistance to all users throughout their various stages of research, including grant and protocol development, research study assistant and support staff training, and result dissemination. The PRO-CEL Core aims to 1) provide research consultation support and training in the selection and/or design of specific patient-reported outcome (PRO) survey tools, as well as measures to collect data from other key stakeholders (e.g., caregivers, physicians, nurses, community members at high risk of cancer); 2) assist investigators in the design, implementation and analysis of all aspects of qualitative research; 3) support MSK investigators who wish to incorporate PRO, qualitative and/ or community engagement research methods into peer-reviewed funding applications; and 4) provide methodological support for clinical trial, behavioral, and population-based research that seeks to engage community or understudied populations.
