Dispatches from Implementation Science at NCI

This breakout group from the inaugural Implementation Science Consortium in Cancer (ISCC) conference last year focused on the intersection of implementation science and rapid cycle research (RCR).

Supporting the IS Team's digital footprint has given me insight into growing an online presence, using data to meet our audience's needs, and understanding the value of an engaged community.

Last year, we began a strategic planning effort for the Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) website to further enhance the website features, with the goal of increasing usage among practitioners, policymakers, and researchers.

From the beginning of my fellowship it has been clear to me that the Implementation Science team recognizes the inherent value of and need for collaboration within the field, a corresponding emphasis of implementation science itself.

Healthcare delivery settings influence every step of how care is given, but more work is needed to describe characteristics of these settings, link those characteristics to outcomes, and develop setting-changing interventions to improve care quality.

On the heels of the 12th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation, I find myself reflecting on the essential topic of measurement. (It must be the epidemiologist in me.) Given the theme of the conference, “Raising the bar…

There is an urgent need for researchers and implementers of genomic medicine to incorporate implementation science into their translational research efforts. Implementation science is the study of methods to promote the adoption and integration of…

In the fall of last year, the Implementation Science team was busy developing RFAs to fund a Centers Initiative in Cancer Control. This centers initiative is the National Cancer Institute’s first large centers initiative focused specifically on…

Over the years, I have managed the Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs) website and have continued to be interested in how we can enhance the features for practitioner use of the website.

The Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program is a multidisciplinary postdoctoral program that trains future leaders in the field of cancer prevention and control.
