We are a bi-coastal center to promote cancer health differences through translational research, outreach, education, and supporting research innovation at Florida A&M University
CaRE2 combines cutting-edge expertise in and resources for translational research, cancer research training and education, innovative community initiatives, and process and outcome evaluation for reducing cancer differences in our communities.
For over 7 years we have fostered the careers of over 120 future cancer researchers, supported over a dozen innovative and multi-disciplinary research projects, and created resources for our communities in Florida and California to advocate for better cancer outcomes.
An important element of the new program is training the next generation of researchers in cancer health differences. Through the CaRE² initiative, leaders will train about 125 investigators, from students to early career scientists, increasing the workforce focused on translational cancer and enhancing our scientific community.
This program will build upon existing community partnerships to disseminate findings in our communities, educate people about pancreas, prostate, and lung cancer, and improve participation in biomedical research.
If you share our interest in reducing cancer health disparities, please consider becoming a member of the CaRE² center. Investigators, trainees, community leaders, and advocates are welcome.
