I think the bigger costs are probably all the skilled labor

* GRANTS ADMINISTRATION. It's really hard to follow all the rules that federal agencies set about how exactly you apply & how exactly you document the money. This is hard precisely bc they work to make sure no one wastes taxpayers' money.

Tagging the newly joined @cathleenw.bsky.social here!

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Fred Hutch is dedicated to the elimination of cancer and related diseases as causes of human suffering and death.

If anyone knows anyone or is interested in a clinical research coordinator job in #lungcancer screening #impsci #equity work, we are hiring @fredhutch.bsky.social in lovely Seattle! Likely opening a Staff Scientist job search soon as well.

That’s a wrap on another wonderful D&I conference! Grateful for this opportunity every December to connect with colleagues near and far who are dedicated to thinking deeply about how to use #impsci to make meaningful and sustained impact. #DIScience24

Thank you for sharing your work with us @dramyhuebschmann.bsky.social

It was a fun bunch of curious folks at #DIScience24

Would love to share! Best place to follow us would be our webpage: hsc.unm.edu/research/cen...

@bronte3.bsky.social and I can also answer questions here on Bluesky!!

Calling all implementation scientists: if you would like a method to identify what makes a difference, for whom, and under what conditions (including the ability to model the influence of local context), check out Coincidence Analysis. The D& I conference next week features multiple CNA studies.

An Academy of Psychological Clinical Science-Funded DISSEMINATION & IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE SPEAKER SERIES About The Series This year-long, virtual dissemination and implementation science speaker series, funded by the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science (APCS), is designed to teach all trainees (master’s students, doctoral students, clinical interns, postdoctoral fellows, etc.) across clinical science programs about dissemination and implementation science. Although trainees at APCS programs are especially encouraged to attend, all are welcome! The Fall schedule won't fit in the alt text, so please email: dissemination.implementation@gmail.com to sign up for reminders!

Love clinical science but wish it got out there and helped people a bit more? Sounds like you want to learn about dissemination and implementation! The Academy of Psychological Clinical Science is sponsoring a speaker series. Get updates by emailing dissemination.implementation@gmail.com

Listening to Dr. Willging speak about Critical Participatory Action Research at our CADIS Fall speaker series and learning so much about the foundational theories that require a focus on power dynamics in #impsci

Great follow-up to her article: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33904908/

Could you add me too please?

Important to combine tractable research questions with a complex systems approach to conceptualising problems & their solutions or mitigations. This paper is definitely worth reading.

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better!

Proud to be part of Just Ask QI Task Force! New longitudinal findings in JCO from our work w/the American College of Surgeons to increase implementation of smoking assessment among cancer pts in 762 accredited cancer programs. Interesting #impsci data: buff.ly/48YLJvw

I was reminded of two things at the talk:
(1) Understanding context requires rigorous methods and analytics, and
(2) Addressing context requires iterative reflexivity and consistent advocacy towards change!

A PowerPoint slide showing the Landscape Analysis for the Leadership and Organizational Change for Implementation System Level methods that include document review, ethnographic observation, and semi structured interviews

Listening to @drgregaarons.bsky.social, about methods to conduct a rigorous landscape analysis, using the EPIS framework and the bridging factors!

Purpose of such analyses was to identify leverage points to encourage policy makers to incorporate evidence based interventions through policy.

Cover page for the document titled "Target product profiles for human papillomavirus screening tests to detect cervical pre-cancer and cancer"

On this Day of Action 2024, Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative, super proud to have contributed towards these discussions that brought in survivor voices to advocate for increasing the availability of validated, affordable, high performance HPV tests!

That number comes from the original Balas and Boren paper from the year 2000 (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27699347/)

A newer paper, led by Khan and colleagues, focused on cancer interventions showed a slight reduction to 15 years (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33392908/)

20 years later, that gap remains...

The International Papillomavirus Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland was full of the good people, good science, and good stuff that keeps me centered on our quest to eliminate HPV cancers beginning with cervical cancer as a public health concern. #IPVC2024

November 17 marks the fourth anniversary of launch of the global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health concern and is observed as Cervical Cancer Elimination Day of Action.

Activists and academics working and writing from/for/with the global souths in social and political studies.

Please help us build this list.

Suggestions very welcome.
