Encouraging the Continued Connections Between Cancer Control EBPs and Practice Partners
June 2024 — In order to support the implementation of effective cancer control programs and increase usage of Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) the Implementation Science team launched a new design for the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Evidence-Based Cancer Control Programs (EBCCP) website in October of 2020.

What is Implementation Science?
Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of evidence-based practices, interventions, and policies into routine health care and public health settings to improve the impact on population health.

Featured Initiatives
The initial Consortium for Cancer Implementation Science (CCIS) meeting, held July 2019, delved into three main categories of focus: building capacity, increasing collaboration, and supporting implementation science activities in cancer. The CCIS seeks to develop a new approach for the field to work together to address key challenges and identify and develop new areas of investigation towards advancing the implementation science agenda in cancer control.
EBCCP is a searchable database of cancer control programs and implementation materials giving program planners and public health practitioners easy and immediate access to evidence-based materials. Currently, there are over 200 programs available on the EBCCP website across many health topics (e.g., tobacco control, HPV vaccination, cancer screening, survivorship/supportive care), delivery settings (e.g., community- and faith-based organizations, schools, clinical settings), and target populations (e.g., adolescents, adults, blacks, Hispanics or Latinos, Asians, whites).
