Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, bears the second highest burden of cancer cases (11%) and deaths (12%) in Africa.1 Evidence-based cancer control interventions such as vaccines for cancer control exist, but are underutilized in Nigeria.2,3 To close this research-to-practice gap, we propose a US-Nigerian Cancer Control Center for Research on Implementation Science and Equity (C3-RISE) capacity building core. The overall goals are to increase the pipeline of early-career Nigerian-based investigators and practitioners who can lead IS research for equitable cancer control in Nigeria. We will use participatory implementation science approaches10 (such as crowdsourcing11 and apprenticeships) to develop sustained capacity for implementation research at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research. Crowdsourcing asks a group to solve a problem (through participatory activities such as open calls,12 designathons,13 or other activities) and then shares the solutions with the public.14 Apprenticeships provide the practical skills, direct mentorship, and supportive environment to increase the likelihood of launching successful IS interventions. In this capacity building core, we propose a series of in-person and online training opportunities in IS methods to spur innovative, equitable cancer control research pilot studies. Each year, open calls will be used to identify eight exceptional trainees (as part of two-person teams) from participating Nigerian-based institutions (including academic, clinical, and community-based organizations). Each cohort will join a two-week residential training experience focused on IS for equitable cancer control. Trainees will also become part of a year-long virtual learning community and mentoring program designed to facilitate and sustain careers in the IS and cancer workforces. Trainee teams will compete for small seed Pilot Partner grants to launch pilot plans of their final IS cancer pilots at community sites. They will receive mentorship from established faculty mentors to carry out pilots focused on enhancing vaccines to prevent cancer (i.e., HPV and HBV vaccines). Our specific aims are: To identify and recruit Nigerian trainees for the C3-RISE capacity building core ; 2) To develop IS research capacity building for equity in cancer control among trainees; and 3) To initiate, sustain, and evaluate a virtual participatory learning community to facilitate access to curated resources and collaboration between geographically dispersed trainees. Our strong focus on cultivating local Nigerian mentors and trainees will have an enduring impact on institutionalizing research mentorship and enhancing capacity for training at the organizational level. Our plan aligns with Nigerian national, NIH, and strategic priorities related to building capacity for cancer research.

尼日利亚是非洲人口最多的国家，拥有癌症病例第二高的烧伤（11％）和死亡人数 （12％）在非洲。1基于证据的癌症控制干预措施，例如癌症控制疫苗，但是 在尼日利亚未充分利用。2,3为了缩小这一研究对实践差距，我们提出了一个美国尼日利亚癌症控制 实施科学与权益研究中心（C3升）能力建筑核心。总体 目标是增加可以领导的尼日利亚早期研究人员和从业者的管道 是尼日利亚公平癌症控制的研究。我们将使用参与实施科学 方法10（例如众包11和学徒制）来发展持续的实施能力 尼日利亚医学研究所的研究。众包要求一个小组解决问题 （通过参与活动，例如公开通话，12个Designathon，13个或其他活动），然后分享 与公众的解决方案。14学徒制提供实用技能，直接精神和支持性 增加成功推出可能性的环境是干预措施。在这个能力构建核心中， 我们提出了一系列面对面和在线培训的机会，以刺激创新，公平的方法 癌症控制研究试点研究。每年，公开电话将用于确定八名杰出学员 （作为两人团队的一部分）来自参与尼日利亚的机构（包括学术，临床和 基于社区的组织）。每个队列将加入为期两周的居民培训经验 用于公平的癌症控制。学员还将成为一个长达一年的虚拟学习社区的一部分， 指导计划旨在促进和维持IS和癌症劳动力的职业。实习生团队 将争夺小型种子飞行员合作伙伴赠款，以启动最终的飞行员计划，这是社区的癌症钢琴 站点。他们将从既定的教职员工心态中获得心态，以执行专注于增强的飞行员 预防癌症的疫苗（即HPV和HBV疫苗）。我们的具体目的是：识别和招募 尼日利亚的尼日利亚学员，用于C3-Rise构建核心； 2）开发是公平研究能力建设 在受训者中控制癌症； 3）启动，维持和评估虚拟参与学习 社区促进获得精心策划的资源和地理分散之间的协作 学员。我们对培养当地尼日利亚导师和学员的重点将对 制度化研究心态并增强组织一级培训能力。我们的计划 与尼日利亚国家，NIH和战略重点保持一致，与建立癌症研究能力有关。
