Join the Research
The RAA is excited for our research partnership with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) and Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) for Black Men Consortium. We are joining forces to focus on health equity challenges for black men and families. Please review our efforts below.
WHY JOIN THE COMMUNITY RESEARCH REGISTRY?
The goal of the Mayo Clinic Community Research Registry (MC CoRR) is to improve health outcomes of underrepresented populations through collaborative engagement. You can represent your community and help to advance medical research by joining the Mayo Clinic Community Research Registry.
Minorities and rural population are currently underrepresented in medical research. By joining MC CoRR, you will be notified if the registry finds a research study that you match to. Your involvement with research will help diversify clinical trials with your participation.
Note: For the question “How did you hear about our registry?” Please answer “Kappa Alpha Psi”.
Spread the Word
iCCaRE for Black Men Consortium is to address the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer seen in African American men via increased access to life-changing, scientific prostate cancer discoveries.
The iCCaRE Consortium at Mayo Clinic is conducting a global outreach program to address the burden of prostate cancer in Black communities by providing prostate health education and navigation support services to men of African ancestry globally. This program will be carried out through prostate cancer conversation series in collaboration with partnering restaurants in the Americas and in Africa. Please contact RAA for additional information.
