DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Community Recruitment and Retention (CRR) Shared Facility is an infrastructure designed to facilitate and assist CCC investigators in recruiting subjects to participate in clinical research and to provide linkage between the community and UAB Researchers. The Facility: 1) provides CCC researchers with diverse recruitment services (for example, designing recruitment strategies, recruiting subjects, developing recruitment materials and advertisements, etc.); 2) provides and maintains the necessary linkage between CCC researchers and the surrounding communities, including potential research subjects, community-based organizations, community leaders, and community health care providers; 3) disseminates culturally appropriate information regarding techniques for recruitment and retention of minority subjects suitable for UAB investigators; and 4) establishes and maintains an information system with a Recruitment Data Base (RDB) comprised of a Mass Mailing System (MMS), a Recruitment Tracking System (RTS), and a Health Profile System (HPS) to identify subjects with certain health profiles of interest to UAB investigators. Since its inception the CRR facility has had accrual of over 24,000 individuals participating in 23 cancer studies of which 42% of the participants were minorities and 78% women. In the last four years, the CRR focused its efforts on refining minority population recruitment strategies, especially for population-based studies. We also developed state-of-the-art information and tracking systems, finalized the operational procedures, and reinforced and developed new partnerships with community organizations and health care providers. The CRR remains timely and has significant research implications. Having in place a centralized database, an infrastructure, and expertise with general and minority-specific recruitment strategies, rather than rebuilding with each study, is of critical importance to CCPS and chemoprevention investigators.

描述（由申请人提供）：社区招聘和保​​留 (CRR) 共享 设施是一种基础设施，旨在促进和协助 CCC 研究人员招募受试者参与临床研究，并在社区和 UAB 研究人员之间提供联系。 该设施：1）为CCC研究人员提供多样化的招募服务（例如设计招募策略、招募受试者、开发招募材料和广告等）； 2) 提供并维持 CCC 研究人员与周边社区之间必要的联系，包括潜在的研究对象、社区组织、社区领导和社区卫生保健提供者； 3) 传播适合 UAB 研究人员招募和保留少数群体受试者技术的文化上适当的信息； 4) 建立和维护一个信息系统，其中包括群发邮件系统（MMS）、招聘跟踪系统（RTS）和健康档案系统（HPS），以识别具有特定健康档案的受试者UAB 研究人员感兴趣。自成立以来，CRR 设施已吸引超过 24,000 名个人参与 23 种癌症治疗 研究中 42% 的参与者是少数族裔，78% 是女性。在过去四年中，CRR 的重点是完善少数民族人口招募策略，特别是基于人口的研究。 我们还开发了最先进的信息和跟踪系统，最终确定了操作程序，并加强和发展了与社区组织和医疗保健提供者的新伙伴关系。 CRR 仍然很及时，并且具有重大的研究意义。 对于 CCPS 和化学预防研究人员来说，建立集中数据库、基础设施以及一般和特定少数群体招募策略的专业知识，而不是根据每项研究进行重建，至关重要。
