Grant funds tackle cancer
Staff
The National Cancer Institute has awarded researchers at the Arizona Cancer Center a renewable one-year grant of $200,000 to establish a Cancer Health Disparities Institute.
The new institute, which has been formally approved by the University of Arizona president’s office, will form a large, collaborative umbrella that will unite Arizona Cancer Center efforts to address cancer disparities. The institute also will link with other programs at UA and within the state.
The objective of the institute is to enable the Arizona Cancer Center to establish infrastructure in three core areas of cancer health disparities: research, training and community outreach. It also will work with local clinics, hospitals, health boards and other local organizations to raise awareness of prevention strategies and access to cancer health care for underserved communities.
