Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC3)

Institution Center name Center theme
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health The Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control Equity The Implementation Science Center for Cancer Control Equity at Harvard is improving community health by integrating health equity and implementation science for evidence-based cancer control.
Oregon Health and Science University Building Research in Implementation and Dissemination to close Gaps and achieve Equity in Cancer Control (BRIDGE-C2) Center The BRIDGE-C2 Center will focus on advancing implementation science to improve cancer screening and prevention in underserved populations.
University of Colorado School of Medicine Colorado ISC3 University of Colorado Denver will focus on pragmatic approaches to assess and enhance the value of cancer prevention and control in rural primary care.
University of Washington Optimizing Implementation in Cancer Control: OPTICC The OPTICC Center will develop, test, and refine innovative methods for optimizing the implementation of evidence-based interventions in cancer control.
Wake Forest School of Medicine iDAPT: Implementation and Informatics—Developing Adaptable Processes and Technologies for Cancer Control iDAPT will advance the field of implementation science by using technologies to support rapid-cycle and real-time deployment and testing of implementation processes and adaptations within cancer control.
Washington University in St. Louis Washington University Implementation Science Center in Cancer Control (WU-ISC3) The WU-ISC3 will build a rigorous, scientific evidence base for rapid-cycle implementation research to increase the reach, external validity, and sustainability of effective cancer control interventions. The Center’s goal and activities capture three distinct features [1]: a focus on the elimination of cancer disparities [2]; the need for rapid-cycle studies; and [3] the use of systems science approaches to enhance methods and outcomes in implementation science.
