GW Cancer Control TAP has just launched a new toolkit designed to help multidisciplinary cancer care teams identify key organizational priorities for DEIJ and initiate organizational change with support and funding from CDC Cooperative Agreement #U01DP006639. This toolkit is based on a pilot training series in which the GW Cancer Center, the Medstar Health Research Institute and Washington Cancer Institute, and Howard University Cancer Center collaborated in assembling three task forces comprised of clinicians, community health workers, clinical research coordinators, nurse managers, and physicians from multiple cancer care institutions located in Washington, DC.
