NCI @ LGCW 2026: Turning Research into Action - The Role of Storytelling and Dissemination
Cancer research has the greatest impact when evidence is clearly communicated, understood, and used to inform action. However, many researchers and program implementers receive little training in communicating findings to gain buy-in and move research into practice across audiences, including scientists, advocates, and decision-makers.
This London Global Cancer Week (LGCW) 2026 session will explore how storytelling and strategic dissemination approaches can help translate evidence into practice in US and global settings. The session will feature case studies from NCI-supported research and dissemination programs in diverse settings. Speakers will share how they used storytelling and strategically disseminated their research to increase understanding, strengthen engagement, support implementation, and influence adoption of evidence-based practice.
