About us
As NCI’s bridge to public health research, practice, and policy, the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) plays a unique role in reducing the burden of cancer in America. DCCPS has the lead responsibility at NCI for supporting research in surveillance, epidemiology, health services, behavioral science, and cancer survivorship. The division also plays a central role within the federal government as a source of expertise and evidence on issues such as the quality of cancer care, the economic burden of cancer, geographic information systems, statistical methods, communication science, comparative effectiveness research, obesity, tobacco control, and the translation of research into practice.

What is reciprocal innovation? A new article series in BMJ Global Health highlights examples, successes, and challenges in the exchange of innovations between low- and middle-income (LMIC) and high-income countries (HIC). The authors seek to draw attention to important innovations developed in LMICs and the benefit of information exchanged through iterative research and learning cycles, for both LMIC and HIC partners. This series is supported by Fogarty International Center at NIH and other NIH partners. Read more https://lnkd.in/etPV2ewn #ReciprocalInnovation #GlobalHealth
