the overall Partnership activities and programs. It will be responsible for all aspects of planning, monitoring,
evaluation, and tracking of Partnership Translational Cancer Research for Health Equity activities. In addition,
this core serves as a platform from which the Partnership’s PIs can discuss strategic plans that can move the
