What We Can Accomplish with Full Funding

We appreciate the state’s commitment to the CRF during these difficult economic times, and we look forward to full funding in 2013 and the opportunity to pursue these research endeavors:

• Research new technologies and clinical care strategies
  
• Study existing drugs for use in cancer prevention, and expand the use of promising therapeutic or diagnostic tools
  
• Expand cancer prevention science technologies and tools
  
• Recruit cancer epidemiologists with expertise in lung cancer and smoking, molecular epidemiology, and health services research
  
• Develop a Maryland cohort for cancer prevention and control studies
