Global Implementation Science for Equitable Cancer Control (GlobalISE Cancer Control, U54 Clinical Trial Optional)

The purpose of the Global Implementation Science for Equitable Cancer Control (GlobalISE Cancer Control) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to build implementation science centers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This initiative will support implementation science research capacity-building activities, including research projects that identify, develop, and test innovative theory-based strategies for overcoming barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up, and sustainability of evidence-based cancer control interventions (e.g., programs, tools, policies, and guidelines) in LMICs. NCI will support several U54 Specialized Centers with transdisciplinary research teams meaningfully collaborating with key stakeholders (e.g., health systems, ministries of health, clinicians, and communities) that must include at least one PI or MPI from an LMIC-based institution. This initiative aims to foster LMIC-based implementation science programs to inform implementation of cancer control efforts in LMICs.
