The Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) is a national network of academic, research, community, and federal agency partners who work together to reduce the burden of cancer. The CPCRN was initiated in October 2002, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as part of their efforts to more effectively translate research into practice. It is a Thematic Research Network comprised of Prevention Research Centers (PRCs), established by the CDC as a flagship program for preventing and controlling chronic diseases. By drawing on the established PRC guidelines and strong community ties, the CPCRN conducts community-based, participatory cancer prevention and control, and dissemination and implementation science (D&I) research across its eight Collaborating Centers, regardless of academic affiliations and geographic boundaries.

Health is more than just healthcare—it’s about the conditions in which we live, work, and grow. At NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center, we address social determinants of health like housing, food security, and transportation to create fair health outcomes. What We're Doing: - Collaborating with municipal partners to bridge gaps in access to essential services. - Using evidence-based strategies to address barriers affecting underserved populations. - Driving sustainable solutions that tackle the root causes of health favoritisms. When communities thrive, public health improves. Together, we can build a healthier and brighter future.

Congrats to Austin R. Waters, MSPH for this well-deserved award!
Congrats Austin R. Waters, MSPH for winning this year's Doctoral Student Award for Excellence in Health Equity Research! ?? Waters’ research has significantly advanced the understanding of health care inequities faced by LGBTQ+ cancer survivors and caregivers. He boasts an unparalleled publication record for a doctoral student, with 54 publications (24 as the first author), and his dissertation on financial hardship among LGBTQ+ cancer survivors has already influenced broader cancer equity research. As a queer researcher, Waters is a leader and advocate for underserved communities. He co-founded the LGBTQ+ Workgroup within UNC’s Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network, and he works to communicate his research findings to broader audiences through social media platforms.
