How can a community of practice help further the practical application of cancer control research? In 2011, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) launched an online community of practice, Research to Reality (R2R). R2R aims to infuse evidence-based strategies into communities by engaging researchers and practitioners in a joint approach to research dissemination. To measure community growth and engagement, NCI measures data across 3 program domains: content, interaction, and activity. NCI uses Web analytics, usability testing, and content analyses to manage and evaluate R2R. As of December 2013, R2R had more than 1,700 registered members. More than 500 researchers and practitioners register for the monthly cyber-seminars, and 40% return each month. R2R hosts more than 15,500 page views and 5,000 site visits in an average month. This article describes the process of convening this online community and quantifies our experiences to date.
一个实践社区如何有助于推动癌症控制研究的实际应用？2011年，美国国立癌症研究所（NCI）推出了一个在线实践社区——“从研究到现实”（R2R）。R2R旨在通过让研究人员和从业者采用联合方法进行研究传播，将基于证据的策略融入社区。为了衡量社区的发展和参与度，NCI在三个项目领域衡量数据：内容、互动和活动。NCI使用网络分析、可用性测试和内容分析来管理和评估R2R。截至2013年12月，R2R已有超过1700名注册会员。每月有500多名研究人员和从业者注册参加网络研讨会，且40%的人每月都会回来。R2R平均每月有超过15500次页面浏览量和5000次网站访问量。本文描述了召集这个在线社区的过程，并量化了我们迄今为止的经验。
