Initiated in 2001, the Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health (CPACH) is a program that provides institutional awards for the development of partnerships between Resource Limited Institutions (RLIs) and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs). The current CPACH Program will only accept applications for the U54 CPACH. The CPACH develops and maintains comprehensive, long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships between Resource Limited Institutions (RLIs) and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs). CPACH aims to achieve a stronger national cancer program and addresses challenges in cancer research, including a focus on advancing research on health drivers that contribute to differences in cancer outcomes across all populations, developing and implementing cancer research experiences and research education for scientists and students as well as conducting cancer outreach and engagement.  CPACH training awards are awarded to institutions, not to individuals. You can read more about the CPACH Program and funded partnerships here.

Partnership for the Advancement of Cancer Research has been proudly funded by the NCI CPACH Program since 2002. The funding we receive from the NCI is critical to reducing health disparities in our communities, and citing our grants in publications is a vital component to ensuring that PACR continues receiving funding and thereby changing lives.
