The value of mutual learning

The field of implementation science bridges the divide between research and practice to improve patient and population health outcomes. It enables maximum impact for NCI’s investments in cancer research, with a focus on equity, so that even the most disadvantaged and underserved communities gain the benefits of the latest scientific advances. This infographic explains the concepts at the core of implementation science.

Increasing funding for medical research means that Peter Mac's 750 plus researchers can do even more to treat, and potentially cure, cancer! We applaud today's announcement from Federal Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler! The $1.89 billion package includes a focus on cancers that have a low survival rate, and on reducing health inequities. There's additional funding for the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) - including more funding for clinical trials - and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). With more than 600 clinical trials currently underway at Peter Mac, we know how impactful these can be for people who are experiencing cancer. In many cases, they provide an avenue for hope and remission or recovery that would otherwise not be available. Along with our research colleagues across Australia we welcome today's announcement! There's so much to do. https://lnkd.in/gbJdrHyx
