Mission of the MVTCP

The Meharry Medical College/Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center/Tennessee State University Cancer Partnership (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).
