The INCa/IReSP/EHESP Chair for Research in cancer prevention discontinued its work on 5 July 2018, however work on the TC-REG project will continue until 31 December 2019.
The Institut national du cancer (INCa), the Institut de recherche en santé publique (IReSP) and the EHESP have associated themselves to create a Chair dedicated to prevention research in the field of cancer.
The INCa jointly with the IReSP, endow this Chair for at least 3 years at the Department of Human and Social Sciences of the EHESP. The Chair benefits from the support of a scientific committee composed of nationally and internationally renowned experts.
Chair team
Linda Cambon, professor holder of the INCa/IReSP/EHESP chair for research in cancer prevention.
She is also a lecturer and associate researcher at the University of Lorraine (Nancy). Her research work focuses mainly on the transferability of health promotion interventions, the evaluation of complex prevention interventions and the transfer of knowledge. Linda.Cambon@ehesp.fr

Objectives
- Develop a research programme focusing on interventional research methodology and prevention transfer of knowledge, and in particular on changes in cancer risk behaviour.
- Allow strengthening the interactions between research, decision and practice.
- Develop a teaching programme for students, professionals, field workers and decision-makers.
Research subjects
Develop interventional research projects applied to cancer prevention
Propose multi-disciplinary and collaborative research projects (researchers/workers/decision-makers), on the principal cancer risk factors, with the objective of studying their efficacy in different institutional, social and population contexts using mixed assessment methods.
Develop research in transfer of knowledge applied to cancer
Study and experiment the transfer of knowledge procedures in the drafting and implementation of cancer prevention policies in France. This aspects of the research in particular concern the study of decisional processes concerning the integration of evidence-based approaches, the transferability of cancer prevention interventions, the means of disseminating the interventions and the policies related to cancer prevention in different operational or decision-making settings.
Teaching and training
The Chair provides higher education in public health linking the training with the EHESP offer and the existing offers of French universities.
The Chair thus proposes teaching on 4 subjects:
- Subject 1: Health determinants that can be influenced by prevention
- Subject 2: Existing evidence-based interventional data in cancer prevention
- Subject 3: Research methods in prevention
- Subject 4: Use of evidence-based data in health practice and decision-making
