Numerous studies have documented patient-level barriers to research participation that are often connected to social determinants of health. As described in this paper, to significantly move the needle toward greater diversity and inclusion in cancer research, it will take a full commitment to integrating an equity lens across the cancer research ecosystem, specifically among sponsors, institutions, and investigators.
