About the Partnership
San Diego State University (SDSU) and the Moores Cancer Center at University of California at San Diego (UCSD-CC) share a longstanding collaborative history that elevates research, joint graduate programs, and outreach programs specifically targeting and enhancing the well-being of diverse communities.
Located in one of the most ethnically diverse regions of the country, the Partnership designs projects and programs that focus on a broad array of traditionally underserved communities. Its recent planning process has built the critical infrastructure necessary to implement strong, successful programs to address cancer disparities in ways that were not previously possible.
