Grant Overview
Ohio's cancer research landscape is characterized by a strong network of research institutions and healthcare providers, yet disparities in clinical trial participation persist. Minority populations are underrepresented in cancer clinical trials, with African Americans making up just 5% of participants despite comprising 12% of Ohio's population. To address this gap, Ohio is funding partnerships between research institutions and local healthcare providers to improve access to clinical trials. The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Cleveland Clinic are among the leading institutions driving this initiative. Who Should Partner in Ohio? Eligible partnerships include collaborations between Ohio-based research institutions and healthcare providers with a proven track record in patient recruitment and retention for clinical trials. The Ohio Department of Health requires partnerships to include a diverse range of healthcare settings, from academic medical centers to community health clinics. Successful partnerships will demonstrate a clear plan for patient education and referral processes, as well as strategies for addressing the unique barriers to clinical trial participation faced by Ohio's diverse populations. Ohio's Clinical Trial Landscape Ohio's urban centers, such as Columbus and Cleveland, offer robust clinical trial opportunities, but rural areas and minority communities remain underserved. The state's major industries, including healthcare and manufacturing, contribute to a diverse economy that supports a wide range of research activities. However, workforce shortages in certain specialties, such as oncology nursing, pose challenges to the delivery of comprehensive cancer care. Unlike Michigan, Ohio's funding priorities for clinical trials emphasize the need for community-based recruitment strategies, reflecting the state's commitment to ensuring diverse representation in cancer research. Key demographic factors in Ohio include its aging population and the significant presence of minority communities, which are critical considerations in the design of clinical trials. Ohio's transportation infrastructure, including its extensive network of highways and public transportation systems, facilitates access to clinical trial sites, but rural areas continue to face challenges in this regard.
