ACCSIS - About ACCSIS

The Accelerating Colorectal Cancer Screening and Follow-up through Implementation Science (ACCSIS) Program is a Cancer Moonshot℠ Initiative.
ACCSIS will support research to build the evidence base on multilevel interventions to increase rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, follow-up, and referral to care.
The RTI Coordinating Center will support organizational, administrative, and scientific activities necessary for the ACCSIS Program to function efficiently and will coordinate the ACCSIS trans-program activities to ensure shared learnings are optimized.
ACCSIS research projects will implement multilevel interventions to increase colorectal cancer screening and follow-up, as well as develop implementation science-based guidance for scaling-up these multilevel interventions to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer.

The ACCSIS program consists of a Coordinating Center as well as eight Research Projects:
