What We Do

To advance its mission, the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD):

• Initiates, integrates, and promotes collaborative research studies across NCI divisions and NIH institutes and centers to address cancer health disparities
• Coordinates and strengthens the NCI cancer research portfolio in basic, clinical, translational, and population-based research to address cancer health disparities
• Promotes research that incorporates new and emerging technologies
• Engages health disparity populations in the research process to ensure that research, outreach, and education efforts are culturally tailored to meet their needs
• Creates state-of-the-art regional networks or "hubs," dedicated to cancer health disparities research, and community education/outreach through geographic program management
