The Office of Population Health (OPH) helps conduct and disseminate impactful research on what causes cancer and why some people survive cancer and others do not. With an eye on promoting health equity, OPH works to educate the public about cancer prevention, screenings, treatment and survivorship. It also assists cancer researchers by:
- Developing and strengthening strategic partnerships across UC Davis to further population-based cancer research priorities
- Facilitating approval, access, and training/orientation to select population-based datasets for cancer research. This includes California Cancer Registry data
- Providing the design, conduct and analysis of research studies across the cancer continuum
- Disseminating population-based cancer research findings
- Facilitating population-based grant proposal development
- Furthering research productivity and the interrelationship between cancer center programs including California Tobacco Control Program, CalCares, CACHE, and WeCare.
