Table 1 Funding Opportunity Announcement Excerpts

“The purpose of this FOA is to promote the development of research centers that can build capacity to study high priority, emerging areas of cancer control implementation science, build implementation laboratories, improve the state of measurement and methods, and improve the adoption, implementation, and sustainment of evidence-based cancer control interventions.”

“Implementation Laboratory: A collaborative research concept specific to the ISCCC. The "Implementation Laboratory" should reflect a collaboration between the Center awardee institution and an appropriate set of community and/or clinical sites. The collaborating sites may reflect diverse settings (e.g., oncology care, primary care, community services) but all are expected to share interest in and capacity to conduct research consistent with the implementation science theme of the Center. Each Implementation Laboratory should enable a range of studies focused on the adoption, implementation, sustainment, and de-implementation of various cancer control interventions. As appropriate, studies to be conducted may be observational, experimental, and/or quasi-experimental.”

“Implementation Laboratory to enable a range of observational, experimental and/or quasi-experimental pilot implementation studies to be tested within a set of clinical and/or community service settings that have shared interest in the Center theme, capacity for study participation, and engagement in improving cancer control across the continuum.”
