CRCHD Mission

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) established the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) in 2001 to help reduce the unequal burden of cancer in our society.

The CRCHD mission, which aligns with the National Cancer Plan, is as follows:

CRCHD works toward eliminating health disparities, advancing research across basic, clinical, translational, and population-based studies, and enhancing community engagement.

In striving to achieve this mission, the Center:

  • Strengthens the NCI cancer research portfolio in basic, clinical, translational, and population-based research to address cancer health disparities through collaborations with NCI Divisions, Offices, and Centers.
  • Advises on strategic priorities, program direction, and scientific policy to strengthen cancer disparities research, and women’s health.
