Objective & Aims

The primary mission of this initiative is to develop partnerships with multiple cancer centers and stakeholders to increase the representation of minorities in cancer informatics and clinical research.  This will be achieved through a series of strategic actions and collaborations aimed at fostering partnerships, providing opportunities for training and mentoring while also promoting best practices. By working collaboratively, we can enhance the representation within the Ci4CC, it's member institutions and throughout cancer informatics. We invite you to join us as we lay groundwork for improving equity, diversity and inclusion across cancer informatics, clinical trials, and research. 

Please send your interest to Marvin.Rothwell@duke.edu & SarahRose@ci4cc.org
