Cancer Control and Health Equity

CCHE Specific Aims

  • Identify biological, environmental, behavioral, social, and policy determinants of cancer risk and inequities to inform cancer prevention and control interventions
  • Discover and integrate signal transduction events regulating tumor-immune cell interactions to expand our understanding of tumor evolution, the immune suppressive tumor microenvironment, and therapy resistance
  • Determine the causes and consequences of epigenetic dysregulation in cancer and identify novel epigenetic targets for anti-cancer therapy
CCHE Aims

CCHE Future Directions

  • Release program-specific RFAs with a focus on collaborative team science, thus promoting collaborations within the program
  • Facilitate connections with CTOP and CCHE members to create translational research opportunities, enhancing the bench-to-bedside-to-community
  • Submit Cancer Biology T32 renewal application in September 2024
