Literature Review
Project details
What we need
- A report summarizing key information from white papers or research reports (50 total pages maximum)
- Written qualitative analysis and findings related to the Organization's research goals
Additional details
We are looking for 2 volunteers for this project. There is another Literature Review posting for additional volunteers to apply for.
Required: Have access to journal search databases (ie. PubMed, etc).
Preferred professional that has public health or health equity experience.
What we have in place
- We currently have a Lit Review Reporting template, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have some articles that have been found, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,888 , allowing us to work with communities to empower them with best practices in building healthy communties and better cancer outcomes.
This will help inform the American Cancer Society's Health Equity team on best practices for identifying social determinants of health through interventions and policies that lead to improved cancer outcomes (incidence and mortality) while also decreasing cancer disparities.

Our mission
The American Cancer Society’s mission is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.
What we do
The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Our Global Headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia, and we have regional and local offices throughout the country to ensure we have a presence in every community.
While most people know us for our research, we do so much more. We attack cancer from every angle. We promote healthy lifestyles to help you prevent cancer. We research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatments. We fight for lifesaving policy changes. We provide everything from emotional support to the latest cancer information for those who have been touched by cancer. And we do it all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
