About Us

Dedicated to scholarly research

 

  • We pursue organizational, managerial, and governance aspects of translational sciences and contribute to research policy outcomes. 
  • We focus on questions relevant to studies of science policies, management, and governance of knowledge-intensive organizations. 
  • What we aim to do is to contribute to theories and conceptual frameworks that underlie the features of events. 


Note:   Boston Cancer Policy Institute does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in its programs or activities. 

Background

 

  • Boston Cancer Policy Institute was incorporated in Massachusetts in 2012 with a mission below mentioned. We originally founded the institute to resolve organizational aspects of precision cancer medicine. Our research programs have continuously evolved since then to concentrate on managerial and governance factors of translational sciences, starting with studying administrative processes of molecular mutations research. 
  • However, molecular mutations explain a part of cancer and other severe illnesses, among several other factors. We began to focus on societal and environmental factors and what and how organizations and policies can address the issues (see Research Programs).
  • We believe in innovation for all societal constituents, acknowledging the potential of free markets and enterprises to realize justice.  
  • The ultimate goals are to liberate humans from biological, physiological, psychological, and environmental burdens through scholarly management and social science publications, presentations, and outreach.    

Our Mission

Our missions are to:

  • - conduct policy-oriented research on mechanisms that will advance paths towards individualizing cancer therapeutics and diagnostics, especially for metastasized and rare cancers, and 
  • -to contribute to improving cancer and science policy outcomes.   

 People:

  • Joseph A. Richmond, CPA- Chair of the Boards 
  • Brian  Lincoln- Board of Directors (External) 
  • Marcia V. Fournier, Ph.D. - Advisory Board (National Institute of Health) 
  • Ellie Okada, Ph.D.- Senior Academic Fellow, President 
  • Anonymous- Academic Observers  


Research Programs

 

  • *We set the following scholarly social science research programs that focus on managerial, governance, and social science aspects of translational sciences.
    1. Governance and management frameworks of translational science
    2.  Frameworks to facilitate scientific knowledge production and diffusion for sustainability
    3. Research policies and governance modality 


1.  Governance and Management Frameworks of Translational Science  

  • This program seeks to contribute to theoretical frameworks of governance and management of translational sciences that are also transferable to other fields of sciences. 
  •  Among the spectrums of translational science, we focus on governance and management issues that occur in the stages of basic research, discoveries, and the process of translating mechanisms to individual, population, and public applications.  
  • Thus, clinical research and medical settings are out of scope.  

  Projects

  •  Management of knowledge-intensive organizations: Governance models for transformative discoveries 
  •   Management of science-intensive organizations: Catalyzing urban resilience 


2  Frameworks to facilitate Scientific Knowledge Production and Diffusion for Sustainability  

  • There are several factors and conditions that promote scientific knowledge production and diffusion.  Sound academic knowledge production is one of the necessary conditions. However, there are systemic issues that may hinder the production and diffusion of the benefits of science.  

 

  • This research program will identify organizational factors, external contexts, and institutional issues that promote or hinder scientific knowledge production and diffusion for sustainability.  It seeks mechanisms to resolve problems strategically.  


Projects

  • The knowledge-based view and social and environmental justice focusing on Science and Technologies: I 
  • Innercity Problems, Normative Visions, and Strategies 


 

3.  Research Policies and Governance Modality  

  • The third program is to contribute to scientific research policy frameworks by understanding pathways in which governance strategies and modality affect scientists’ and science organizations’ behaviors. 
  • The vision is to include more subgroups in the science beneficiaries regardless of their socio-economic status and other conditions.
