Engaging the World

CCS-Partner Prevention Research Grants have been created to support investigators who approach research in key prevention and risk reduction areas. A central focus is the requirement that investigators work collaboratively with representative(s) of the Society and clearly describe how the proposed research will address key cancer prevention and/or risk reduction priorities to influence its programs, activities, and/or public policy work.
