Advancing the Science of Implementation across the Cancer Continuum

While many effective interventions have been developed with the potential to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from cancer, they are of no benefit to the health of populations if they cannot be delivered. In response to this challenge, Advancing the Science of Implementation across the Cancer Continuum provides an overview of research that can improve the delivery of evidence-based interventions in cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship. Chapters explore the field of implementation science and its application to practice, a broad synthesis of relevant research and case studies illustrating each cancer-focused topic area, and emerging issues at the intersection of research and practice in cancer. Both comprehensive and accessible, this book is an ideal resource for researchers, clinical and public health practitioners, medical and public health students, and health policymakers.

About the Author :
David A. Chambers, D.Phil, is Deputy Director for Implementation Science in the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute, where he manages a team focusing on efforts to build and advance the field of implementation science through funding opportunity announcements, training mechanisms, dissemination platforms, and enhancement of partnerships and networks to integrate research, practice and policy. Dr. Chambers publishes on strategic research directions in implementation science, and serves as a plenary speaker at numerous scientific conferences. He received his A.B. degree (with Honors) in Economics from Brown University (1997), and an M.Sc. (1998) and D.Phil degree (2001) in Management Studies (Organizational Behaviour) from Oxford University (UK.) Cynthia A. Vinson, PhD, MA, is a Senior Advisor for Implementation Science in the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Vinson is involved with building and sustaining the field of implementation science to enhance the integration of evidence-based programs in cancer control in public health and clinical practice. In this role, she is responsible for working both within NCI and with other agencies and organizations at the local, state, national, and international level to translate research funded by DCCPS into practice. Dr. Vinson received her PhD in Public Administration and Health Policy at George Washington University, and her MPA in Public Administration/International Development from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Wynne E. Norton, PhD, is a Program Officer for Implementation Science in the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences at the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Norton's research is focused on advancing the science of implementation of evidence-based practices and programs in cancer care delivery and public health.
