Goal and Mission of the Coordinating Center

The overarching goal of the CEECR Coordinating Center is to build collaborative infrastructure and facilitate integrated scientific research for enhancing our understanding of Environmental Exposures influencing Cancer etiology, and the genetic, behavioral, and structural factors that modify risk across diverse populations.

Our mission is to provide intellectual leadership and logistical infrastructure for the CEECR program by integrating efforts across the CEECR cohorts, facilitating research activities, fostering opportunities for cross-CEECR collaboration, and disseminating research findings through partnerships with stakeholders.
