  3. Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC3)

The Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC3) Program supports the development, testing, and refinement of innovative approaches to implement evidence-based cancer control interventions.

All Centers feature "implementation laboratories" involving clinical and community sites. These sites will engage in implementation research across the cancer control continuum to:

  • advance methods in studying implementation
  • develop and validate reliable measures of key implementation science constructs

These Centers provide leadership for an Implementation Science consortium across this and other Cancer MoonshotSM initiatives.

Blue Ribbon Panel Recommendation:
Expand use of proven cancer prevention and early detection strategies.

Reduce cancer risk and cancer health disparities through approaches in development, testing and broad adoption of proven prevention strategies.

What is the Cancer MoonshotSM?

The Cancer MoonshotSM was designed to speed up efforts to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. It aims to achieve 10 years of progress in 5 years.

ISC3 Centers

Each of the seven centers is organized around a cohesive, overarching implementation science theme that frames their activities and research agenda.

Health Equity Toolkit

A comprehensive resource to help implementation scientists get started with health equity-focused research.
