The Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network (CPCRN) provides an infrastructure for applying relevant research to local cancer prevention and control needs.  Its members conduct community-based participatory cancer research across its eight network centers, crossing academic affiliations and geographic boundaries.  The CPCRN forms a subgroup of Prevention Research Centers (PRCs), which are CDC’s flagship program for preventing and controlling chronic diseases.

The CPCRN represents a collaboration of cancer divisions from two federal agencies: The Division of Cancer Prevention and Control  of the CDC's National Center of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, and the Division of Cancer Control & Population Sciences of the National Cancer Institute.
