Abstract
The Cancer Control and Population Sciences (CCPS) Program is a realigned, unified program of the former Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention and Health Behavior and Outcomes programs. CCPS members pursue research in epidemiology, prevention and occurrence reduction, behavioral interventions, cancer care delivery, and methods development, along with implementation science and policy research. CCPSâs aims and strengths are closely aligned with the Rogel Cancer Centerâs broad- based themes, strategic vision, and mission via the programâs focus on team science, its commitment to understanding cancer etiology, improving primary prevention and early detection strategies, and improving cancer care delivery. The CCPS program has three main specific aims: 1) Identify key environmental, lifestyle, genetic, and socio-structural targets for cancer prevention, risk reduction, improved detection, and better outcomes; 2) Develop, test, and deploy innovative strategies to reduce the burden of cancer; and 3) Create and apply novel scientific approaches to cancer control and population science research across the continuum.
