Do you have a cancer implementation research idea that's in its early stages of development? We can assist with its development through our online Concept Development Workshops (CDWs).
When?
We are holding a series of online CDWs, with the first scheduled for Friday, 25 September 2020 @ 11am-12:30pm. Our second and third online workshops will be held in October and November. One concept will be discussed per an online CDW.
Submission:
Please submit your cancer implementation concept by COB Monday 24 August 2020 if you would like it to be considered for our first online CDW in September. If your concept is not selected for the first CDW, it may be considered for subsequent CDWs.
Conditions:
The Cancer Implementation Science Community of Practice will support the development of presented concepts with the understanding that the investigator intends the project to be a collaborative study. Therefore, by accepting an invitation to the workshop, the investigator undertakes to:
Who can apply?
This workshop is open to all cancer related projects, but priority will be given to concepts submitted by Translational Cancer Research Centre (TCRC) members. If you have yet to join a TCRC please see https://www.cancer.nsw.gov.au/data-research/translational-cancer-research/funded-centres to find out more about the TCRCs and check your eligibility to join. If you would like implementation science support, please completed this [application form].
The selection process:
Submissions will be reviewed by representatives from the ‘Cancer Implementation Science Help Team’.
Submissions will be considered based on:
What will you get out of submitting a concept?
If your concept is selected you will receive multiple rounds of feedback from our expert panel. The concept will go through an initial review stage, feedback will be given to you for refinement, then the revised version will be discussed at our online CDW where further feedback will be given.
Who can attend?
Successful investigators and members of their proposed research team will be invited to attend the workshop.

The selection process:
Submissions will be reviewed by representatives from the ‘Cancer Implementation Science Help Team’.
Submissions will be considered based on:
- Importance: potential to inform the science and practice of oncology and likely to be of interest to funding bodies
- Scientific quality: the implementation study design and methods that have been proposed in the CDW application have the potential to be developed into a high-quality research plan
- Feasibility: the investigators have the required expertise (or we can help identify potential collaborators) and are likely to be able to gather the needed resources to successfully complete the project
- The project has potential to significantly improve cancer care outcomes

“It takes an average of 17 years for 14% of original research to be integrated into clinical practice among physicians”.
As shocking as the above catchcry may seem, that's the estimate that we've been hearing over and over again in the realm of implementation science. So the question is... what can be done by researchers and practitioners to help speed up the process of translating research into real-world uptake impact? Some have called this a “methodologist’s dream”, i.e., combining effectiveness and implementation in varying degrees in one design.
In this interactive* webinar, A/Prof Luke Wolfenden will provide an overview, design considerations, strengths and challenges of hybrid designs, tips for seeking grant funding and future directions. Dr Joanne Beames and Dr Ursula Sansom-Daly will provide case studies of Type I and Type II hybrid studies focused on using technology to deliver effective and scalable depression and psychosocial cancer care. This session will be moderated by Dr Ben Smith, who is working with the Translational Cancer Research Centres to build implementation science capacity and collaborations for better cancer outcomes through the Implementation Science Community of Practice.
*Specific Q&A after each presenter and general Q&A at the end.

The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled many cancer care health professionals into the unfamiliar territory of telehealth. Now that some time has passed since new measures have been in place, how will telehealth in cancer care be maintained after the pandemic ends?
Maree Balmain who lives in and manages Avon Downs, a remote cattle station, will also share her personal telehealth experience.
Don't miss your chance to engage with these experts to discuss about the future of telehealth in clinical and research settings.
In this interactive* 1-hour webinar, we'll discuss:
