Abstract

CGH facilitates research efforts to decrease the global burden of cancer by collaborating with U.S. government agencies, foreign governments, non-government organizations, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The primary functions of the Center are to: • Develop research programs that facilitate collaborations between US and foreign investigators that answer cancer research questions. • Strengthen U.S. national, regional, multilateral, and bilateral collaboration in global health research, cancer research, and cancer control. • Train investigators and help develop research capacity in global health across the cancer continuum, both in the United States and in the developing world. • Develop new scientific initiatives and programs that contribute to our understanding of cancer prevention, detection, or management.
