Description

Informed by stakeholder input and a scan of the existing clinical and research landscape, the purpose of this initiative is to fund three research centers that can advance a national cancer-related telehealth research agenda in a rapidly changing healthcare, policy, and communication environment. Each center will support one signature project: a large pragmatic trial with the potential to generate findings with broad applicability to clinical practice and heterogenous patient populations. This collective of research centers will also support the infrastructure needed for designing innovative pilot studies on emerging issues in telehealth and cancer. The work of these centers is expected to foster the development, evaluation, and dissemination of innovative forms of telehealth with the potential to advance the delivery of cancer-related care as evidenced by improvements in quality of life and clinical outcomes, patient-physician communication, health equity, and/or access to quality care.
