Cancer Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC)

The mission of the CRCC is the support of promising new directions of research into all aspects of cancer, including its origin, prevention and cure. The CRCC provides seed grants to faculty on the ten campuses, with the expectation that the most promising research will thereafter be funded by larger, long-term grants from other agencies. CRCC awards grants to new faculty to initiate cancer research projects, to established investigators in areas of research other than cancer to initiate cancer research projects, and to established investigators to initiate studies in new areas.
