Welcome

The Meharry Medical College (MMC), Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC), and Tennessee State University (TSU) Cancer Partnership (MVTCP) is the longest-standing U54 Comprehensive Partnership to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) in the United States. For over 20 years, this collaborative partnership has provided a robust infrastructure to address and overcome cancer disparities, while expanding research opportunities, recruitment, training, and outreach.

Mission

The MVTCP is focused on the shared goal of eliminating cancer disparities through a proportional approach encompassing basic, translational, clinical, and population science. Overall goals for this competing renewal application are to strengthen the capabilities of minority-serving institutions, Meharry Medical College (MMC) and Tennessee State University (TSU), to engage in cancer research and expand research in cancer health disparities at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC).
