Virtual Innovation Lab on Communicating Evolving Cancer Information - Applications due May 3, 2024

by Berrigan, David (NIH/NCI) [E]

Of potential interest – feel free to share [National Cancer Institute]<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVy…> Communicating Evolving Cancer Information – Virtual Innovation Lab Join the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for an interactive workshop to explore innovative research ideas to better communicate evolving cancer information. We know that changing health information can lead to confusion, mistrust, disengagement, and difficulty making health decisions. In part, these consequences result from a failure to convey the nature of information and scientific discovery, leaving many poorly prepared to interpret and use new information to make health decisions. We need proactive solutions that foster a realistic public understanding of the values and limits of information to prevent future changes from eroding trust and confidence and to prepare individuals to use new information to make the best health decisions for themselves. NCI seeks individuals with experience researching or communicating about evolving information across disciplines and content areas. We would also like to hear from social scientists, science communicators, clinicians, and patient advocates, and others who care passionately about how we might better communicate evolving cancer information.

Followup to TRB AME70: Accessible Streetscape project

by Benito Pérez

Good morning all, Hope this email finds you well and great to see you last week at TRB. Just wanted to recap what I mentioned in your committee meeting (thanks for fitting me in Ipek!). Love to have any help you and your network can provide to advance this project. All people in a community rely on the transportation network to get from point A to point B in the interest of living, working, and playing. However, the system historically has not been designed to benefit all users equally. More specifically, there are design and planning considerations that have not been wholly considered, resulting in adverse consequences to the physical mobility plus the interactive and safe use of streetscapes for people with disabilities. Those design and planning considerations have proliferated over the years for various reasons and context, but boil down to a lack of awareness of the concept of inclusive accessibility and the real life implications to end users (understanding “to walk in their shoes”). Deliverables - Resource guide exploring streetscape accessibility from mobility, vision, hearing, cognitive ability, and language barrier perspectives. Exploring from conceptualization, community engagement, design, construction, and maintenance of the streetscape for accessibility. - Federal advocacy push for a transit ready communities legislative idea <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ya7KIT77xEBmuEWmSvIDWuFrTC853MgbeNtW2NH…>, aimed to push for standards development, discretionary and formula funding to facilitate accessible streetscapes, and support land use and zoning innovation. - Development of accessible streetscape guidelines for incorporation into NACTO’s Urban Street Design Guide <https://nacto.org/publication/urban-street-design-guide/> and other related enforceable guidelines. So my hope in this announcement is seeking volunteers and support for the development of this project, specific asks include: - Peer reviewer of an end user survey (PDF <https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3A92e20ef6…> and surveyMonkey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=qXEgXufPAVcXzYIhBpd8DcuL1MNr59Wb…>), due to go out this spring (tentative mid March 2024 for 60 days) - So appreciate help with peer review to be completed by the end of February 2024 - Assistance in distributing the end user survey across the country/internationally - Peer review of the literature / best practices catalog <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16LL6kNyI7jt9KY3nUAysRkJwpfSDmWFb_d0…> - Peer reviewer of the resource guide, later in 2024 --- Feel free to reach out to me or direct any volunteers my way.
