Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Hawaii's Clinical Trials Grant Program
The Grants to Support Clinical Trials to Expand Community Outreach, Patient Education and/or Clinical Recruitment Staff program, funded by a Banking Institution, aims to increase the recruitment and retention of patients from underrepresented minority groups in pancreatic cancer clinical trials. In Hawaii, this grant program is particularly relevant due to the state's unique demographic characteristics. Hawaii has a diverse population with a significant proportion of Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, who are often underrepresented in clinical trials.
Target Outcomes for Hawaii
The priority outcomes for this grant program in Hawaii are centered around increasing diversity in pancreatic cancer clinical trials. Specifically, the program aims to:
-
Increase the enrollment of Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders in pancreatic cancer clinical trials by 20% within the next 12 months. This outcome is crucial given the higher incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer among Native Hawaiians compared to other ethnic groups in the state.
-
Improve patient education and awareness about pancreatic cancer clinical trials among underrepresented minority groups in Hawaii. This will be achieved through culturally sensitive outreach and education programs, such as those implemented by the Hawaii Department of Health's Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Branch.
-
Enhance the capacity of clinical trial recruitment staff to effectively engage with diverse patient populations in Hawaii. This will involve providing training and resources to recruitment staff on cultural competency and community outreach, leveraging the expertise of organizations such as the Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems.
The Hawaii Office of Hawaiian Affairs has been actively involved in promoting health initiatives among Native Hawaiians, including improving access to healthcare services and health education. Their efforts align with the goals of this grant program, making Hawaii an ideal location for implementing these initiatives.
Measuring Success in Hawaii
To measure the success of this grant program in Hawaii, the following metrics will be tracked:
- Number of participants from underrepresented minority groups enrolled in pancreatic cancer clinical trials
- Level of patient education and awareness about pancreatic cancer clinical trials among target populations
- Capacity of clinical trial recruitment staff to engage with diverse patient populations
Hawaii's unique geographic features, including its rural and frontier counties, present both challenges and opportunities for implementing this grant program. For instance, the state's rural areas may require innovative outreach and education strategies to reach underrepresented populations.
The grant program's focus on increasing diversity in clinical trials aligns with the state's efforts to address health disparities among Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders. By supporting programs with specific, achievable, and measurable goals, this grant program has the potential to make a significant impact in Hawaii.
