STRATEGIC Plan
ACCELERATE 2030 is the UF Health Cancer Institute’s strategic plan. The UF Health Cancer Institute is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center at a public university in the state of Florida. The Cancer Institute is committed to advancing cancer care, research and prevention across Florida.
As a land grant university, we embrace our obligations to support our communities and meet the needs of our residents.
Through pursuit and attainment of NCI designation, the members of the UF Health Cancer Institute have made tremendous strides in cancer research, innovative treatment options and patient-centered care. Our strategy has been to leverage the entirety of our great university: faculty, staff, students and community partners.
The mission of the Cancer Institute remains clear: to prevent, detect, treat and ultimately cure cancer while addressing the unique challenges of the cancer burden faced by the population we serve.
The strategic initiatives of the UF Health Cancer Institute are intended to lessen the cancer burden and reduce disparities in our catchment area and beyond. These include conducting transdisciplinary research that leverages institutional expertise and infrastructure, translating scientific advances through clinical research, and growing a capable and prepared cancer workforce through educational access and opportunities.
Updating the strategic plan was a comprehensive and meticulous process. To all involved with ACCELERATE 2030, your contributions have made a significant impact, and we thank you for your efforts, insights and feedback. Together, we are creating solutions and a healthier future for cancer patients and their families.
