Past Global Health Events

Dr. Ophira Ginsburg, CGH senior advisor for clinical research, will chair this American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) session, Applying an Equity Lens to Implementation Research: A Pathway to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities, and present an overview of global oncology and implementation science, joined by speakers who will discuss implementation research priorities in global oncology and make an evidence-informed case for embedding an equity lens into implementation research methods.

Dr. Patti Gravitt, CGH Deputy Director, will present a "Systems Thinking Approach in Implementation Science: Understanding the Layers of Health Inequity," at the AACR session, "Implementation Science: Efforts to Improve Cancer Health Equity." The session will explore why applying a health equity lens to implementation science is crucial to achieving maximum impact on cancer control, how a systems approach in designing implementation research can illuminate high leverage, cross-cutting implementation strategies, and how rigor and reproducibility can be maintained using pragmatic designs. Sessions are virtual and in person.
