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 ten 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.
Currently the CPCRN is comprised of ten funded
research institutions and one funded coordinating center. For

* UNC-Chapel Hill is home both to a CPCRN network site and the
network's coordinating center.
The Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network is supported by Cooperative
Agreement Number U48-DP001944 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
Prevention Research Centers Program and the National Cancer Institute.
