## Abstract

Cancer Epidemiology Program
Project Summary / Abstract
The mission of the Cancer Epidemiology Program is to facilitate the conduct of epidemiological research and
translation of those findings into prevention strategies to reduce the burden of cancer. A key goal of the
Program is the integration of cancer epidemiology research across DF/HCC's clinical-based and discipline-
based programs. The Program also is deeply invested in the mission of the training and mentoring of students
and postdoctoral and clinical fellows that represent the next generation of cancer epidemiologists. To achieve
these goals, the specific aims of the Program are to accelerate science, collaboration, translation and training
of its members, in the following areas of research: (1) Primary and secondary precision cancer prevention;
(2) Next-generation genomic epidemiology of cancer; (3) Epidemiological studies of metabolism and
cancer; and (4) Epidemiological studies of cancer survivorship. The program has 71 members, representing
six DF/HCC institutions and 14 academic departments. In 2014 peer-reviewed grant funding attributed to the
Program was $22.6 million in total costs from the NCI and $2.3 million from other sponsors. During the current
funding period, Cancer Epidemiology Program members published 1,417 cancer-relevant papers. Of these
41% were inter-institutional, 41% were intra-programmatic and 31% were inter-programmatic collaborations
between two or more DF/HCC members. Overall, when counted once, 27% of DF/HCC publications were inter-
programmatic collaborations.
