Abstract

COBRE Center for the Promotion of Cancer Health Research (CePCHe) The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) and the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UPRCCC), propose a new Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) focused in providing valuable science-based information to enhance prevention and cancer care for all Americans. The proposed Center for the Promotion of Cancer Health Research (CePCHe) will (1) address high-impact, interdisciplinary scientific questions through methodologically rigorous and thematically diverse cancer research; (2) build sustainable research capacity to respond to emerging challenges in cancer etiology, prevention, and treatment; (3) expand the pipeline of early-stage investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students through structured mentorship and research support, enhancing their competitiveness in the biomedical workforce; and (4) establish a translational framework for disseminating research findings to inform scientific methodologies, evidence-based decision-making and public health policy at a national level.
