Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN)
The Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) is a national network of academic, public health, and community partners who work together to reduce the burden of cancer, especially among those disproportionately affected. Its members conduct community-based participatory cancer research across its ten network centers, crossing academic affiliations and geographic boundaries. The CPCRN is a thematic research network of the Prevention Research Centers (PRCs), which are CDC’s flagship program for preventing and controlling chronic diseases. The website offers information on workgroups, resources, and presentations.
CCTSI
The CCTSI is a collaborative enterprise between University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus, University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, six affiliated Hospitals and health care organizations, and multiple community organizations with a goal to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into improved patient care and public health. This website is the CCTSI’s portal for communication and collaboration tools. It is designed to help you navigate the many valuable clinical and translational research and educational resources available through the CCTSI.
IMPLEMENTATION NETWORK
This listserv distributes information on late-breaking research, practice, and policy activities in the area of dissemination and implementation in health care and public health, including publications, reports, conferences, meetings, program announcements, funding opportunities, and other various proceedings. The listserv encompasses the areas relevant to dissemination and implementation in health care and public health, including: scale-up/spread, capacity building, knowledge translation, quality improvement, research-to-practice, diffusion, knowledge transfer and exchange, adoption, complex interventions, implementation strategies, action research, translational research, and other related terms and sub-disciplines. It is supported in part by VA QUERI. This website is managed by Wynne Norton, Ph.D at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, School of Public Health.
