This clinical trial evaluates whether a mentorship and education intervention called COACH-APP works to improve advanced practice providers' (APPs) confidence in their ability to participate in clinical research (research self-efficacy). APPs are skilled clinicians who are routinely part of cancer care teams, but who may not routinely be part of the research care team at community oncology sites. The COACH-APP program provides focused education and structured mentorship to assist in meaningful integration to the research care team, which may increase research self-efficacy among APPs and ultimately improve patient care and access to clinical trials.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare change in research self-efficacy (RSE) scores from baseline to end of study (12 months post-randomization) between APPs in the COACH-APP intervention compared to the education control. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) engagement post-study (12-months) for APPs in the COACH-APP intervention compared to the education control. II. To compare changes from baseline to post-study in APP ratings of research care team integration (Assessment for Collaborative Environments \[ACE\]-15) bet…
