Office of Community Outreach & Engagement

The Office of Community Outreach & Engagement strives to address the unique cancer issues facing minority and medically underserved populations. We work to reduce cancer health disparities by focusing on the following:

• Workforce diversity: Enhance training for minority individuals pursuing healthcare or biomedical research careers, particularly those focusing on cancer
• Advocacy and public policy: Inform the public of cancer policy issues and increase awareness of our established advocacy efforts and self-advocacy skills
• Community engagement and organizing: Partner with a broad range of community and public health organizations to better respond to the needs of minority and medically underserved groups
