Community-Partnered Cancer Disparities Research Collaborative (CDRC)
The CDRC consists of 10 Black churches and their pastors, culturally sensitive community and faculty researchers, cancer survivors, undergraduate students in a health disparities and health promotion research internship taught by Dr. Carolyn Tucker, and a health disparities research support staff. The group works together to conduct community-based participatory research that will lead to interventions and large grants, with the aim of promoting cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship.
