Global Health Events
In an effort to fulfill our mission to advance global cancer research, the Center for Global Health (CGH) sponsors and participates in a number of global health events for both national and international audiences. Although events vary by region and topic, they all focus on the open exchange of scientific knowledge.
Upcoming Events
-
NCI @ LGCW 2026: Turning Research into Action - The Role of Storytelling and Dissemination
Cancer research has more impact when people understand the findings and use them to guide action. Yet researchers and program teams often have little training in sharing their work with scientists, advocates, and decision-makers.
In this London Global Cancer Week (LGCW) 2026 session, speakers will share examples from NCI-supported programs in the US and around the world. They will show how storytelling and thoughtful outreach helped people understand research, build support, and put evidence into practice. -
Building Caregiver Education Together: A Multimedia Approach to Childhood Cancer Care in Tanzania
In this seminar, Dr. Kristin Schroeder and Dr. Erica Samson Sanga will describe how input from caregivers, community members, and healthcare providers across Tanzania informed the development of a culturally appropriate multimedia caregiver education program for childhood cancer. They will discuss lessons learned during intervention development, early implementation, and the potential for integrating digital caregiver education into routine pediatric oncology care in Tanzania and other low-resource settings.
