Collaboration networks of the implementation science centers for cancer control: a social network analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multi-center research initiatives offer opportunities to develop and strengthen connections among researchers. These initiatives often have goals of increased scientific collaboration which can be examined using social network analysis.

Methods

The National Cancer Institute (NCI)-funded Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC³) initiative conducted an online social network survey in its first year of funding (2020) to (1) establish baseline network measures including the extent of cross-center collaboration and (2) assess factors associated with a network member's access to the network such as one's implementation science (IS) expertise. Members of the seven funded centers and NCI program staff identified collaborations in planning/conduct
