An Integrated Community-clinic Model of Optimized Implementation Strategies to Increase Early Detection of Breast and Cervical Cancers in Kenya
Funder: NCI [R01CA269472]
Overview: Kenya has a high incidence of breast and cervical cancers, and most women are diagnosed with late-stage disease. We will conduct a study to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of strategies to increase the uptake of cancer screening and completion of recommended diagnostic and treatment services.

Funder: NCI [R21CA224387 and R21CA274600]
Overview: Implenomics, together with academic institutions in India, the Kerala Directorate of Health and RTI International, have been awarded a grant from the National Cancer Institute. Funding from the grant will be used to create mobile apps for use in India that connect patients in the community and providers in primary care facilities with screening support staff at tertiary medical colleges. The award coincides with the launch of the Global Cancer Moonshot to improve cancer screening uptake and decrease mortality in the Indo-Pacific region.
