Diverse perspectives can create innovative solutions to complex problems, such as cancer disparities. However, we know that misunderstanding and mistrust are frequent barriers to effective community and academic partnerships. This is why CCSN created The Cancer Disparities Curriculum for Research and Community Scholars (known as Research and Community Scholars program).
The program meets on a bi-weekly basis on Wednesdays from September to May in a hybrid format. In this program, research and community scholars participate together in a curriculum focused on cancer disparities, factors influencing disparities, communicating with diverse audiences, understanding different perspectives, and building equitable partnerships.
