The National Cancer Institute (NIH), through the Method to Extend Research in Time (MERIT) Program, has provided $3.1 million in funding for a research project led by Dr. Corrina Moucheraud. The study aims to identify the key factors affecting HPV vaccine uptake in Kenya and Malawi, two countries with a very high burden of cervical cancer. 

Early this month, Dr. Hanh Tran, an epidemiologist at the Hanoi University of Public Health in Vietnam, visited the NYU School of Global Public Health. She hosted a research-in-progress meeting to discuss the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening in Vietnam. 

Dr. Donna Shelley, Dr. Corrina Moucheraud and Dr. PhuongThao Le attended the World Cancer Congress in Switzerland. The conference aims to raise awareness about new cancer prevention strategies and support efforts to reduce the global cancer burden.

GCIS conducted its first symposium on March 13, 2024, and hosted program leaders and evaluators, including NYC Health+Hospitals, Northwell Health, NYU Langone Medical Center, the University of Arkansas, Northwestern University, and community partners.

NYU had a strong turnout at this year's Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health! There were 7 oral presentations and 26 posters with NYU authors. We were thrilled to see so many GCIS-relevant themes throughout the conference, including the importance of community engagement and co-design, an emphasis on policy and policy-relevant implementation science, and synergies between intervention optimization and implementation science.
