Scientific Panel: Systems thinking applied to global cancer research
This panel will focus on the elements and approaches necessary to translate research into practice and policy, and how a systems approach can help bridge this translational gap. The goal of this discussion is to identify the critical elements that can help design new studies with an implementation science and/or systems approach from the start, to ensure that translation of evidence-based findings into policy can be accelerated in an efficient manner and taking into account the local needs of the communities and patients. Specific emphasis will be placed on approaches, research partners, and pragmatic approaches that have worked in different settings, as well as challenges encountered and pressing needs.
