There has been a true revolution in cancer treatment. Numerous genetic alterations are being targeted using new therapies with the potential for improved, less toxic – often durable - outcomes in advanced cancer. Response rates are 3-5% for unmatched treatment with new tyrosine kinases and other similar agents whereas a “high value” alteration can result in response rates of 30-50% for actionable

The Office of Translation to Practice (OTP) is housed in the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences at Mayo Clinic. Established in 2015, the office is tasked with developing and managing novel tools, mechanisms, and processes to facilitate and accelerate the translation of products, such as drugs, biological agents, and medical devices, into practice. Since its inception, OTP is credited

INTRODUCTION Under-representation in health-related research is one of a multitude of factors that contribute to health disparities experienced by African American and Latinx communities, and has been brought to the forefront in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Barriers to research participation stem from historical social injustices, are multi-faceted and include factors specific to the
