Whether you want to join a study, invite us to your community, collaborate or simply stay informed — there is a place for you in REGAL's work.
Ways to engage
Our research depends on people willing to share their experiences. Whether it is a survey, a focus group, a blood sample or a screening event, every participant helps us understand cancer disparities more clearly.
Email us about open studiesHealth fairs, church services, school back-to-school nights, powwows and community celebrations — we bring plain-language education, screening resources and study information to you.
Request a REGAL presenceWe work with community organizations, health departments, faith groups, tribal nations and advocacy networks. If your mission touches cancer equity, let's explore how data and community insight can advance it together.
Start a partnership conversationDo you see a gap in cancer screening, care access or prevention where you live? Tell us. Community input shapes our study questions and helps us design research that actually answers local needs.
Share a community needStudents, trainees and community health workers are the future of equitable cancer research. We mentor across epidemiology, data science, community engagement and health policy.

Subscribe to updatesWhat to expect
Your time, privacy and story matter. Every study is reviewed by Duke's Institutional Review Board and explained in plain language before you agree to participate.
We do not just take data and leave. We share findings back with participants and communities, and we show up at events that matter to the people in our studies.
Our goal is not publication alone. It is changing the conditions — clinical, social and structural — that drive unequal cancer outcomes.
Reach out directly. We read every message and will connect you with the right person on the team.
