University of Illinois Cancer Center leaders, staff, Community Advisory Board (CAB) members and community partners have published a collaborative study describing how the Cancer Center developed scalable approaches to determining scientific priorities that are rooted in health equity in concert with communities. The study, published in the journal Preventive Oncology and Epidemiology, also shares examples of how Cancer Center Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) data guided the identification of community-endorsed scientific priorities and how the Cancer Center incentivizes community-engaged research that is responsive to community needs. Yamilé Molina, PhD, Cancer Center Associate Director for Community Outreach and Engagement, is the first author and Margaret Wright, PhD, Cancer Center Senior Research Scientist and Co-Director of the Data Integration Shared Resource (DISR), is the senior and corresponding author.
