Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity
About PIPCHE
The Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE) is the only NCI-funded, Pacific-based partnership that addresses cancer disparities in the people of Hawai’i, Guam, and other U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands, which include Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau. It also provides research training for students and early career scientists while engaging communities in outreach activities to advance knowledge, awareness, behavior change, and public health policy in Guam and Hawai’i.
Our overarching goal is to promote cancer health equity and mitigate the impact of cancer on Pacific Island Populations through increasing cancer research leadership and capacity in Hawai’i, Guam and the USAPI.
