Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are early-career Nigerian researchers and clinicians interested in cancer control and implementation science.
✕Less likely to help
Patients may not directly benefit in the short term while capacity is being built.
What this research studies
This grant supports building capacity for cancer control research in Nigeria by training early-career Nigerian investigators and practitioners in implementation science. It uses participatory methods like crowdsourcing and apprenticeships to develop skills and launch pilot studies. The core will offer in-person and online training, open calls, and mentorship to sustain a pipeline of IS researchers focused on cancer prevention and care in Nigeria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could strengthen Nigeria’s ability to translate cancer control evidence into real-world practice.
How similar studies have gone: Global partnerships have previously helped health improvements; this project aims to adapt that model to build locally led IS capacity.
