The Geriatric Oncology Regional Victorian Trials Alliance, Linkages, Special populations, Equity program (GO ReViTALISE) is part of a five-year state-wide grant to increase access to cancer clinical trials in regional Victoria, Australia. The initiative covers engagement with key stakeholders and trial sites, co-design of research programs with consumers, implementation of multiple interventional and non-interventional research, and capacity building. Employing a framework prospectively is critical to guide and scaffold implementation of complex interventions and capture the process of how several activities interact. Likewise, there is a need to show research impact beyond successful implementation and clinical outcomes. Using the GO ReViTALISE as a case study, we will demonstrate how an implementation framework and the Framework to Assess the Impact from Translational health research can deliver a cohesive, impactful and measurable program of research to increase older adults’ participation in cancer clinical trials, trials availability and build capacity in regional cancer sites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
