The NIH has announced that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is awarding $23 million in grant support to four academic institutions that will conduct research on the role of telehealth in delivering cancer-related health care.
Led by the University of Pennsylvania, this center will use discoveries in communication science and behavioral economics to compare the impact of telehealth strategies on shared decision-making in lung cancer screening and to improve timely access to comprehensive molecular testing for advanced lung cancer..
In addition to developing new applications of telehealth in cancer care, the centers will focus on identifying and addressing telehealth-related disparities among racial and ethnic groups, rural residents, older adults, the uninsured, low-income people who are socially isolated, and people with limited digital literacy. All four centers are also being funded to train the next generation of telehealth researchers.
“These centers will be at the cutting edge of some amazing breakthroughs by creating sustainable and effective telehealth options tailored specifically for cancer care,” said Roxanne E. Jensen, Ph.D., a program director in the Outcomes Research Branch in DCCPS. “This work will pave the way for having health care delivery look a lot different for cancer patients over the next five to 10 years, and that's really exciting and in alignment with the goals of the Cancer Moonshot initiative.
