UCR-CoHCCC Cancer Research & Education "CARE" Partnership
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.
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.
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.
This meeting aims to allow collaborators from UCR and City of Hope to connect and share what projects/programs they are involved in within their respective communities
