This review highlights six "best practices" for cancer epidemiology coordinating centers to facilitate the success of a research consortium.
Evidence from emerging literature regarding the Science of Team Science suggests that coordinating centers can more effectively foster collaborative cancer epidemiology research in consortia by (1) establishing collaboration as a shared goal at the start, (2) providing scientific expertise complementary to the research sites that adapts over the course of the project, (3) enacting anti-racist and inclusive approaches in all consortium decisions and activities, (4) fostering early-stage investigator career development, (5) engaging stakeholders including cancer survivors as peers, and (6) delivering reliable logistical support and technology tools with planned process evaluation so that researchers can collaboratively focus on the science.
By drawing on the Science of Team Science, coordinating centers can accelerate research progress and increase the impact of cancer epidemiology consortia.
本综述重点介绍癌症流行病学协调中心的六项“最佳实践”，以促进研究联盟的成功。
来自新兴的团队科学相关文献的证据表明，协调中心可以通过以下方式更有效地促进联盟中的协作性癌症流行病学研究：（1）从一开始就将合作确立为共同目标；（2）提供与研究地点互补的科学专业知识，并在项目过程中不断调整；（3）在所有联盟决策和活动中采用反种族主义和包容性方法；（4）促进早期研究者的职业发展；（5）让包括癌症幸存者在内的利益相关者作为同行参与进来；（6）通过计划好的过程评估提供可靠的后勤支持和技术工具，以便研究人员能够共同专注于科学研究。
通过借鉴团队科学，协调中心可以加速研究进展并增加癌症流行病学联盟的影响力。
