Mayo Clinic’s Science of Community Outreach and Engagement (SoCOE) Conference provides a platform for cancer community outreach engagement stakeholders to share best practices and recommendations that address inequities in cancer prevention, early detection, care, and survivorship. The theme for the 2024 conference is “Innovative approaches to decentralization of clinical trials: Meeting participants where they are”.

The conference will:

  • Provide opportunities for mutual learning, knowledge transfer, and collaborations relative to clinical trials in diverse populations among COE stakeholders
  • Advance the engagement, recruitment, and retention of diverse populations in Oncology Clinical Trials (OCTs) through decentralization of clinical trials
  • Identify cost-effective technologies to accelerate the decentralization of OCTs in minoritized and marginalized populations
  • Facilitate networking among COE stakeholders involved in all aspects of OCTs
  • Facilitate the development of a global community of practice to address common challenges in the engagement, recruitment, and retention of underrepresented populations for OCTs
  • Develop a comprehensive strategic plan for decentralization of OCTs in populations underrepresented in clinical trials.
