NRG-CC005/FORTE team has created graphics and captions for distribution across social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn – for site research staff to use when corresponding, presenting, and following up with participants, patients, and the general public for the NRG-CC005/FORTE study. The graphics include:
- General information on colorectal cancer
- General information on clinical trials
- FORTE Study information
- Graphics for each state that currently has NRG-CC005 sites activated
These participant-directed materials have been reviewed and approved by the NCI CIRB. The “Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month” document, along with the CIRB approval letter, are found under the CIRB tab on the CTSU website for NRG-CC005. Before distribution, sites must submit to their local IRB if required per site/local policy. Collaborate with your site communications teams and departments to distribute information on the FORTE study throughout Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (March 2023).
