The New Cohorts for Environmental Exposures and Cancer Risk (CEECR) is a collaborative effort co-funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). CEECR aims to support innovative scientific research in new prospective cohorts that address knowledge gaps in Cancer etiology and carcinogenesis processes with a focus on Environmental Exposures.
The CEECR Consortium is made up of five new prospective cohorts, a Coordinating Center, and the NCI. Members from the NCI serve as Project Directors for each of the new prospective cohorts and they work with the Coordinating Center to further the mission and aims of CEECR. The five new prospective cohorts are interested in diverse study populations representative of various regions throughout the United States.
More information on each of the five cohorts can be found on their Cohort’s about page:
