CPCRN Welcomes 27 New Faces to the Network as the CPCRN Scholars Program Announces Its Third Annual Cohort (2022-2023)
|
|
On November 14th, the CPCRN Scholars Program held its annual kickoff event, representing the official first day of a new cohort of Scholars. With a 135% increase in applications from the previous year, the team selected 27 individuals to participate in Cycle 3 of the CPCRN Scholars Program. Students, postdocs, practitioners, and researchers comprise the Program's third and largest cohort yet, representing 21 schools and organizations from around the world.
Led by Co-Chairs, Daniela Friedman, PhD and Cam Escoffery, PhD, MPH, CHES, and Project Coordinators, Sam Noblet, MPH and Courtney Petagna, MPH, the Workgroup hopes to increase Scholars’ 1) connectedness within the CPCRN, 2) competencies on topics related to D&I science in cancer prevention & control and health equity, 3) contributions to a diverse cancer research pipeline, and 4) use of applied D&I work in academic and clinical settings.

Federal Agency Partners at NCI and CDC Co-Host Webinar in Celebration of CPCRN 20th Anniversary Milestone (2002-2022)
Following the inception of the Network in September 2002, CPCRN has maintained unwavering momentum in its growth, productivity, and impact, largely attributable to the individuals that comprise the Network, as well as the funding sustained across five consecutive cycles spanning the two decades since. As such, 2022 marked a momentous milestone for the Network, so to help celebrate, federal agency partners at the CDC and NCI teamed up to host "20 Years of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN): Past, Present, and Future."
|
|
|
On September 22nd, over 150 attendees tuned into the virtual celebration, featuring an all-star panel* of CPCRN experts who spoke to the collaborative history of the Network, discussed works in progress, shared valuable insights from their time in the Network, and explored areas for research and practice growth.

CPCRN Involvement at the NCI's 4th Annual Consortium for Cancer Implementation Science (CCIS), October 12-13, 2022
|
|
Hosted by the NCI Division of Cancer Control & Population Sciences (DCCPS), the 2022 Consortium for Cancer Implementation Science (CCIS) was held virtually from October 12-13, 2022. This year marked the 4th Annual CCIS Meeting, focused on the evolution of efforts to enhance equity; mentoring, training, and diversifying the workforce; and multisectoral approach and collaboration.
The Consortium featured a variety of CPCRN investigators, federal agency partners and affiliate members who presented on and led discussions around communication among those engaged in implementation science projects across the cancer continuum, identifying and developing solutions to challenges in implementation science in cancer, and promotion of collaborative projects to fill implementation science gaps that would extend beyond a single study.
