Health Disparities and Cancer Survivorship

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded $1,063,889 to 6 grantees for a one-year P30 administrative supplement to address minority and underserved cancer survivors in the community.

Objectives of the Project:

• Promote research in cancer survivorship among minorities and underserved populations who had returned to their communities after the completion of initial treatment, and/or the families of such patients.
  
  
• Strengthen linkages between researchers and community representatives
  
  
• Disseminate research findings to targeted community and members of the Cancer Center.
