GUIDElineS for endometrial cancer detection: BiopsY vs. UltraSound (GUIDES BY US)

Roles Of Social change in Engagement Science (ROSES)

The ROSES Study seeks to tangibly account for the unique ways in which those subject to oppression find a place and a voice in patient-centered outcomes research via the use of Deepa Iyer's Social Change Roles Ecosystem.

Racial Disparities in Endometrial Cancer: The Role of Diagnostic Care Pathways.

This work is a large, multi-level project (patient, providers, systems) to identify and build interventions to mitigate the contributors to delay in diagnosis of endometrial cancer among Black women. Currently underway is the Assessment of Reproductive Symptoms by First Line Providers - a national survey of providers across different specialties and training types designed to understand the level of knowledge and practice patterns in response to signs and symptoms of endometrial cancer.
