novel influenza viruses and biological
agents that pose a threat to global public
health. Through this international
collaboration ASPR will capitalize on
GMI’s influential position as an
important regional partner on disease
surveillance efforts and public health
emergency preparedness. This new
cooperative agreement will help to
further strengthen laboratory diagnostic
capacity in Panama and other countries
in the region. GMI’s strong collaborative
relationships with neighboring
governments, as well as its training
capabilities, and laboratory
infrastructure will be critical for the
viability of this partnership. In addition,
this collaboration will support overall
HHS efforts to continue building
capacity abroad with the ultimate intent
of detecting, stopping, slowing or
otherwise limiting the threat or actual
spread of bio-terrorism agents or a
pandemic to the United States, thereby
enhancing the health security of the
American population.

Background and Brief Description
There have been increasing calls in
the fields of public health generally and
cancer control specifically for the
dissemination, adoption, and
implementation of evidence-based
practices (EBPs). EBPs are public health
practices (interventions, programs,
strategies, policies, procedures,
processes, and/or activities) that have
been tested or evaluated and shown to
be effective. However, while the
development, review, and compilation
of EBPs has steadily increased over
time, there is concern that the adoption
and implementation of those practices,
including among cancer control
planners and practitioners, has not kept
pace. Given the gap between the
development of EBPs and their use,
public health and cancer control
organizations need to place greater
emphasis on the promotion and
dissemination of these practices among
those who can use them to improve
population health.
While efforts to promote cancer
control EBPs have increased, questions
remain whether these efforts will result
in widespread adoption and
implementation of EBPs in the context
of comprehensive cancer control (CCC)
in the states, Tribes, and U.S.
Associated Pacific Island Jurisdictions
and territories. National Comprehensive
Cancer Control Program (NCCCP)
grantees may face a number of
challenges to incorporating EBPs into
CCC efforts in their jurisdictions. In
order to address these barriers
effectively and better promote the use of
EBPs for cancer control, CDC would like
to understand (1) how evidence-based
approaches are currently being used to
develop CCC plans; (2) how CCC
programs identify EBPs; (3) what EBPs
have been adopted by CCC programs;
and (4) what challenges and unintended
consequences have been encountered in
their implementation.
CDC plans to conduct a new, one-time
study to examine CCC planners’ use of
scientific and practice-based
information to inform development of
their CCC plans. Information collection
will consist of two Web-based surveys
involving key CCC stakeholders in the
NCCCP-funded states, Tribes, and U.S.
Associated Pacific Island Jurisdictions
and territories. Respondents for the first
survey will be Directors of the 66
NCCCP-funded programs, who will also
have the opportunity to participate in a
follow-up telephone call. Respondents
for the second survey will be key
