Our Mission

Advance cancer research and drug development and reduce cancer health disparities by:
  • Focusing on cancers that disproportionally impact minority underserved populations
  • Training a diverse force of cancer research scientists
  • Enhancing cancer education for our communities
  • Improving access for our communities

 


Our Programs

Research

The UCR-CoH CARE Partnership allows for comprehensive cancer research between both institutions. UCR Cancer Research specializes in basic research, while CoH specializes in clinical research. Additionally, this partnership allows for the development of joint research opportunities, education programs, and outreach that build capacity for translational research and drug development at UCR.

Education

Only a small number of basic scientists are Latino/Hispanic-American or African-American. UCR-CoHCCC U54 CARE Partnership provides the training, opportunity, and mentorship required for these minority men and women to become the next leaders in drug development. Our CARE partnership offers funding and training opportunities for researchers of all levels.

Training

Outreach

There is often a gap in resources and knowledge on how research teams can ensure the translation of their findings from the basic science level (the “bench”) to the community and, also, from the community to the bench. So, our U54 Outreach Core aims to facilitate the successful translation, implementation, and dissemination of research findings developed by U54 investigators.
