| Center | Research | Populations |
|---|---|---|
| Case Western Reserve University | This center focuses on urban and metropolitan areas, community health clinics, tobacco cessation programs, and community-clinical linkage intervention using an e-referral. | Urban and metropolitan areas |
| Oregon Health & Science University | This center focuses their cancer prevention efforts in collaboration with American Indian/Alaska Native and rural populations. Investigators’ expertise is related to diet and physical activity and their roles in cancer prevention. | American Indian/Alaska Native and rural populations |
| University of Iowa | This center focuses on rural and micropolitan areas, Latinos and African American populations, and projects to enhance dissemination of HPV vaccinations. | Rural and micropolitan areas Latinos and African American populations |
| University of Kentucky | This center focuses on the rural Appalachian region, systematic approaches to offering cancer screening services at every office encounter, and multilevel interventions to increase cancer screening. | Rural Appalachia |
| University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | This center focuses on testing and comparing the effects of 2 capacity-building interventions on practitioners’ a) capacity to plan and implement EBIs, b) quality of EBI, and c) EBI impact on targeted outcomes; and comparing cervical cancer and obesity interventions. | |
| University of Pennsylvania | This center focuses on implementation of EBIs to increase CRC screening in primary settings for disadvantaged and minority adults in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), community-engaged scholars programs, evidence academies (one-day single theme meetings on local epidemiologic assessments of cancer incidence and mortality risk factors and health disparities). | Disadvantaged and minority adults in FQHCs |
| University of South Carolina at Columbia Arnold School of Public Health | This center focuses on continuing the work of CPCRN with FQHCs, continuing minigrants - grantees partner with FQHCs to implement an EBI directed at multiple levels, mapping cancer rates in geographic space, and neighborhood-level social factors. | FQHCs |
| University of Washington | This center focuses on increasing EBIs to improve cancer screening to community health centers, state and local health departments and workplaces, in addition to the limited English-proficient population. | Community health centers State and local health departments Workplaces Limited English-proficient populations |
