  • Cancer research certificate students are paired with co-Leaders of joint research projects (two full, one pilot) to conduct year-round research.
  • Bioethics Shared Resource ensures cancer research, outreach, and partnerships with underserved and racial/ethnic minorities follow ethical guidelines.
  • Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BSR) supports study design, data management, and statistical analyses across Research Projects, Outreach, Research Education, and Planning & Evaluation.
  • Administrative Core provides day-to-day operational support across Research Projects and all Cores to ensure objectives and goals are achieved.
