CRCHD Integrated Networks

Through NCI-supported networks, CRCHD strategically enhances the integration and dissemination of diversity training, women’s health, and sexual and gender minority efforts across NCI, the scientific community, and underserved communities experiencing disparities.  

By creating linkages across the country, CRCHD is able to more efficiently identify and leverage opportunities within NCI-supported and other programs to address unmet needs in cancer and cancer health disparities research.

CRCHD currently supports two national networks, the Geographic Management of Cancer Health Disparities Program (GMaP) and the National Outreach Network (NON), as well as the Screen to Save: NCI Colorectal Cancer Outreach and Screening Initiative (Screen to Save).

Geographic Management of Cancer Health Disparities Program

GMaP is a seven-region network that fosters collaboration, resource-sharing, and capacity-building among cancer health disparities researchers, trainees, community health educators, and organizations.
