We work with cohorts of up to 20 community members. The training is designed for people who have no research background. Participants are not required to have any credentials.  Some sessions are in-person, and other sessions are online. Support for expenses (such as transportation and parking) and compensation are provided.

Why is it important for you to be a PC3 Community Research Partner?

There are a lot of myths and concerns about research. From a series of community listening sessions, we learned that in order to build trust between marginalized communities and the research centers, it is very important to be transparent about how cancer research is done, especially in the community.

This 5-session training with provide you with:

  • Knowledge of the cancer research process
  • Tools to find and share trustworthy information and resources with your communities
  • Experience in conducting research in the community
  • Networking and meeting people who are also passionate about their communities

The community members we work with:

  • Live or work in Philadelphia
  • Are motivated to learn more about cancer and community cancer research
  • Care about their community’s wellness
  • Are committed to attending all training sessions
