Capacity-Building, Technical Assistance and Training (CBTAT) A CPCRN national workgroup to increase use of evidence-based approaches for chronic disease and cancer prevention
Goals of Workgroup Build the capacity of cancer control planners and public health professionals to locate, select, adopt, adapt, implement and evaluate evidence-based cancer prevention program, policies and practices
Goals of Workgroup 2) Conduct research and evaluation on models of capacity building and effects of CPCRN capacity building initiatives
Evidence into ActionCurriculum Increases competencies of how to locate, select, adopt, adapt, implement and evaluate evidence-based cancer prevention program, policies and practices among cancer control planners and public health professionals

CBTAT Research Foci • Support evaluation of training and TA activities • Publications on the processes involved and evaluations of training, mini-grants, and TA on uptake of evidence • Tailored Aid for Communities adapting Tested Interventions for Cancer Control–TACTICC • Pat Mullen and Maria Fernandez, PIs, University of Texas, R01 Dissemination & Implementation Grant
CBTAT Publications: Training • Training lead to the greatest increased in these competencies: • locate evidence-based resources, • narrow search results of potential programs or strategies to reflect programmatic specifics, • define steps in the adaptation process, and • discuss factors during each phase of implementation Escoffery C, Carvalho M, Kegler M.
