MSU FC3 TO LEAD FEASIBILITY STUDY!

Thank you to everyone who has submitted grant applications for this funding opportunity.

NMQF has awarded a grant to the Michigan State University Flint Community Cancer Consortium (FC3) to assess the feasibility of a cancer study in Flint, MI. This project will explore community concerns about cancer rates and environmental factors, helping lay the groundwork for future research and interventions.

For further questions, contact Katherine Chavez at kchavez@nmqf.org

The MDHHS Flint Feasibility Assessment for Epidemiology Cancer Study is super important for dealing with health worries after the Flint water problem. This project looks into whether it’s doable to study cancer cases related to the water issues in Flint.

To get involved:

Stay Updated: Keep checking for news and updates about the study so you know what’s happening.
Share Your Thoughts: If you have ideas or experiences that could help the study, tell the people running it.
Join Meetings: Look for chances to go to meetings or events about the study. It’s a good way to talk about what’s going on.
Tell Others: Spread the word about the study to your friends and family. They might want to help out too!
Support Groups: If there are groups trying to make things better in Flint, see if you can help them out. Even just sharing their messages can make a big difference.

By getting involved with the MDHHS Flint Feasibility Assessment for Epidemiology Cancer Study, you’re helping to deal with the health worries caused by the Flint water problem. Your help matters, and together, we can make a difference for the community.

The main goals of this program are:

Finding out what questions are most important to the people of Flint, including what they’re worried about when it comes to exposures and pollution sources.

Getting the people of Flint involved in the research, making sure they’re actively taking part and their voices are heard throughout the process.

Doing a careful check to see if it’s possible and okay to do a study on how the environment might be linked to cancer in the area.

Looking at the information we already have about the environment, differences in health, and what might be putting certain groups at a higher risk for cancer, especially focusing on how this affects minority communities.

Making a research plan that listens to the community, is clear and includes everyone, and is sensitive to the special situation in Flint.
