Fifty-three research tools, found in one search
Website
The Consortium for Cancer Implementation Science has brought researchers and practitioners together since 2019 to close the gap between what cancer research proves and what clinics actually do. Eight action groups produce the work, and the work itself is the deliverable: 53 public goods, free to anyone.
A library like that usually ends up as a page of links nobody can search, or a PDF somebody emails you. The consortium wanted its public goods findable and citable, and the site built so its own team can keep adding to them. CCIS is one of a dozen university and research projects here.
The library
Search 53 public goods as you type
Toolkits, webinars, articles and trainings, each with its authors, year and action group. Type a word and the list narrows as you type, filter by category or group, and read it as cards or as a list. A researcher who has narrowed it to one action group's toolkits can send a colleague that exact shelf.

The first screen
A hero that answers the mouse
The headline sits on a grid of dots that swell and warm up under the pointer. It gives a page of serious research a moment of life without a stock photo of a laboratory, and a Pause motion button sits beside it for anyone who would rather it held still.
Citable
A page per item, built to be cited
Each public good gets its own page with a plain-language summary, the citation and its DOI, the action group behind it, and an Access button only when there's something to open. Work that can be linked to and quoted gets used; work buried in a slide deck does not.

Who makes it
Eight action groups, each with its own shelf
Every group gets a page describing the work it's doing, and a button that opens the library already filtered to that group's output. Somebody who arrives interested in community participation can see what that group has made without learning the filters first.

Once a year
The annual meeting, open only when it is
The consortium meets once a year, and the page carries that year's meeting with its registration button. The button appears when registration opens and goes away when it closes, so nobody lands on a dead form, and past meetings stay up as an archive.

Under the hood
The coordinating center keeps it current
Public goods, action groups, the meeting and the team are all edited in an easy-to-use CMS by the people who run the consortium, with no developer in the way.
Findable on purpose
Every page carries its own title and description, the sitemap lists all 59 pages, and the research pages describe themselves to search engines as the resources they are.
The funding statement is on every page
Federally funded work has to acknowledge its award wherever it appears. That line is part of the page template, so nobody has to remember to paste it in.
