The Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC³) Program supported seven research centers that developed, tested, and refined approaches to implementing evidence-based cancer control interventions. The program has concluded.
The centers established “implementation laboratories” in clinical and community settings to study implementation across the cancer control continuum. The network aimed to:
- Strengthen implementation science methods and measurement.
- Test strategies to improve the adoption, implementation, and sustainment of evidence-based interventions.
- Build research capacity and share data resources and findings with the cancer research community.
Funded Centers
The seven P50 centers were funded through RFA-CA-19-005 and RFA-CA-19-006. Each focused on a distinct implementation science theme.

Data-Sharing Workshop Resource
Advancing Data Sharing for Implementation Science in Cancer Control
NCI and ISC³ convened a series of workshops to explore data-sharing practices in implementation science. The workshop summary covers presentations, panel discussions, and key considerations for collaboration and data sharing. Read the workshop summary (PDF).
