The Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC3) Program is a Cancer MoonshotSM initiative supporting 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 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.
Research activities for the Centers are organized around a cohesive, overarching implementation science theme that frames their activities and research agenda.
Implementation Science Centers (P50s)
The ISC3 Program is composed of seven Centers funded by RFA-CA-19-005 and RFA-CA-19-006.
