N2 - Background: The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Center Support Grants (CCSGs) encourages Cancer Centers to address health disparities and reduce the cancer burden in their Catchment Area (CA) through an organized Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) structure. This paper shares the development of two guide models that fosters the operations of the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center (MCCCC) COE Office and programs, the MCCCC COE Impact Model and the MCCCC COE Logic Model. Methods: Following a less than stellar CCSG rating for COE in 2018, the MCCCC developed a transition team to specifically address the critique and create a transformative plan for engaging communities to address cancer burden in the CA. A qualitative research approach was employed, focusing on organizing and displaying the relationship between MCCCC COE processes and outcomes through impact and logic models. An impact model was developed to illustrate the components of the CCSG and connect those components to short- and long-term COE outcomes. A logic model was developed to track and monitor activities for continuous process improvement for all COE activities. Results: The impact and logic model serve as a roadmap to monitor progress towards short- and long-term COE goals of the MCCCC. The COE operational strategies draw upon bidirectional partnership, evidence-based practices, and research facilitation to respond to the CCSG critique. Conclusion: These strategies demonstrate successful practices in addressing cancer burden, promoting health equity and eliminating cancer disparities in the MCCCC CA.
