Cancer Disparities Program in Development
Housed at Dana Farber / Harvard Cancer Center, the basic mission is
to advance scientific research relevant to understanding and addressing
disparities in cancer
CancerPlanet
This PLANET portal provides access to data and resources that can help
planners, program staff, and researchers to design, implement and
evaluate evidence-based cancer control programs.
CDC Community Guide
The federally sponsored Community Guide provides public health decision
makers with recommendations regarding population-based interventions
to promote health and to prevent disease, injury, disability, and
premature death, appropriate for use by communities and health care
systems. The independent Task Force makes recommendations based on
systematic reviews of topics in three general areas: changing risk
behaviors; reducing diseases, injuries and impairments; and addressing
environmental and ecosystem challenges.
Center for Community Based Research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute
Developing innovative ways to lower cancer risk by working with community
groups and organizations. The center uses the power of the community
to study the factors that play a role in improving the prevention,
early detection, and treatment of cancer.
Dana-Farber Center for Community-Based Research
The Center for Community-Based Research is part of Population Sciences,
a research group within Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Department
of Medical Oncology. CCBR is unique among the Institutes programs
because it focuses on research with the community to study the most
effective ways to prevent cancer. In addition, CCBRs work is part
of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center Risk Reduction Program.
CCBR is also the home of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center Health
Communication Core.
