November 09, 2021Cancer screening saves lives, but not everyone is up to date on their recommended screenings. A 2018 pilot study funded by the University of Rochester Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UR CTSI) helped lay the foundation for an expanding research project testing whether a text-messaging intervention can boost screenings for cervical, colon and lung cancers. The UR CTSI-funded pilot
Innovations in Education: Promoting Interdisciplinary Science and Health Equity in Clinical Research
University Of RochesterOur work focuses on several gaps in clinical research training. First, trainees lack the early immersion in an environment where they learn that multi- and interdisciplinary science is the norm rather than the exception. This is because training often occurs at the graduate or post-graduate level and is focused on research methods and logistical and regulatory aspects of conducting clinical
