Community Advocacy Board

OUR MISSION

UWCCC Community Advocacy Board is a coalition dedicated to creating a foundation of bidirectional communication between community members and the UWCCC to identify and prioritize cancer research needs across Wisconsin.

What We Do

We engage community members and stakeholders in our research process. We let the community lead the way in defining and developing equitable solutions to reduce the burden of cancer across Wisconsin.
