Description
The UC Cancer Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) is a systemwide, faculty-directed program supporting research on cancer’s origins, detection, prevention and cure. Administered by UC Research Initiatives within the Research Grants Program Office, it funds work across disciplines, from basic science to applied clinical and community-based research. Projects must demonstrate direct cancer relevance rather than address general biology or health alone.
Faculty Seed Grants support promising projects expected to become competitive for larger, long-term external funding. Pre- and Post-Doctoral Fellowships support original mentored research and preparation for independent careers in cancer research. Fellowships give special consideration to public health and population sciences, including cancer health disparities and community-based awareness. Multidisciplinary research and culturally sensitive community education related to cancer prevention, education or treatment are welcome.
