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.

Proposed Project 

Use of Evidence-Based Practices for 

Comprehensive Cancer Control—New— 

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

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
