Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T.
This portal provides access to data and resources that can help planners, program staff, and researchers to design, implement and evaluate evidence-based cancer control programs. |
Center for Community-Based Research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Part of the Center for Population Sciences at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the CCBR explores how social and physical environments influence cancer risk, and works to reduce those risks through effective interventions. These interventions are developed and tested in a variety or settings, including work sites, low-income housing, community-health centers, and media institutions. They also seek to address disparities across the cancer control continuum, from prevention to survivorship. |
CDC Community Guide
The federally sponsored Community Guide provides public health decision makers with recommendations regarding population-based interventions to promote health and to prevent disease, injury, disability, and premature death. It is appropriate for use by communities and health care systems. The independent Task Force makes recommendations based on systematic reviews of topics in three general areas:
1. changing risk behaviors
2. reducing diseases, injuries, and impairments
3. addressing environmental and ecosystem challenges |
Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center
Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) is the largest comprehensive cancer center in the world, bringing together the cancer research efforts of our seven member institutions: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Boston, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Funded by a grant from the National Cancer Institute, and based in Boston, DF/HCC consists of more than 1,000 researchers with the singular goal of finding new and innovative ways to combat cancer. |
Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention
The mission of the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention is to promote the prevention of cancer and chronic disease, through research, communication, and education. The Center develops tools, provides consistent messaging, and addresses barriers in ways that make positive lifestyle change possible and sustainable. |
NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (DCCPS)
The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities is the keystone of NCI's efforts to reduce the unequal burden of cancer in our society. As the organizational locus for these efforts, the center directs the implementation of and supports initiatives that:
• advance understanding of the causes of health disparities
• develop and integrate effective interventions to reduce or eliminate these disparities |
Reduction of Cancer Risk and Disparities Program
Housed at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, the basic mission of this program is to advance scientific research relevant to understanding and addressing disparities in cancer. |
