It can be challenging to implement national or state goals and objectives, such as State Cancer Plans, at the local level and incorporate the evidence into programs in the community. The Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) National Partnership helps to bridge this divide by supporting CCC coalitions in the development and implementation of comprehensive cancer control plans at the state, tribe, territory, U.S. Pacific Island Jurisdictions and local levels.
The National Cancer Institute’s June Research to Reality (R2R) cyber-seminarwill feature examples of successful comprehensive cancer control coalitions utilizing evidence-based public health practice to implement state cancer plans in local jurisdictions. The seminar will explore both state and local health department perspectives as Bruce Behringer from the Tennessee Department of Health and Della Rhoades from Noda County Health Department in Missouri share their stories of success, lessons learned, and opportunities. Additionally, Brandie Adams from the National Association for County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) will share information on their new upcoming resource guides. The guides are designed to support local implementation of comprehensive cancer control work through local community-based coalitions.
Join us this June and learn how your local and state coalitions can better work together to bridge research and practice and improve the health of your community. Register today at https://researchtoreality.cancer.gov/cyber-seminars.
This cyber-seminar was planned in collaboration with the NACCHO.
A PDF copy of the slides from this presentation can be requested at the end of the cyber-seminar by emailing ResearchtoReality@mail.nih.gov or through the "Contact Us" link located at the bottom of this site.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the cyber-seminar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss how state and local coalitions and health departments can collaborate to implement cancer plans at the local level.
- Identify new tools and resources from NACCHO to help develop coalitions and implement evidence-based interventions (EBIs).
- Understand some of the barriers and facilitators for successful implementation of EBIs at the local level.

Discuss this Cyber Seminar

Thanks for all the participation on the cyber-seminar and for the resources and perspectives shared. There were a number of questions around funding local efforts so I thought of this audience when I received a funding announcement from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
RWJF issued a call for public health officials and policy-makers exploring new ways to organize and structure the management and delivery of public health services --- not unlike some of the work highlighted yesterday.
More information can be found in the Call for Proposals and the program website: www.phsharing.org.
