PS1-11: A Dissemination and Implementation Research Agenda for the Cancer Research Network: Looking Back and Looking Forward

摘要

Background/Aims2013 is the fifth year for the Cancer Research Network’s (CRN) only funded research center, the Cancer Communication Research Center (CCRC), an NCI-designated Center of Excellence in Cancer Communication Research (CECCR). This CRN center has sister centers at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, and Washington University in St. Louis. An emphasis of the CRN center has been the application and study of dissemination and implementation (D&I) concepts in relation to external validity tests of interventions, spread of evidence-based interventions, and best practices for high-quality implementation. Now, with the funding of CRN4 (years 16–20), leadership for defining the future orientation to D&I research may be assumed by the CRN4 scientific working group charged with D&I research.
