Research Programs

At Case CCC, research programs are where membership becomes collaboration.

Advance your research through a community of collaborators, mentors, and scientific leaders who share your commitment to reducing the burden of cancer. Case CCC’s six interdisciplinary scientific programs connect more than 400 investigators from Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, and Cleveland Clinic around common research interests and scientific goals.

Program affiliation provides opportunities to build collaborations across disciplines and institutions, develop innovative research initiatives, strengthen grant applications, and accelerate the translation of discoveries into clinical and community impact. Whether you are an early-career investigator seeking mentorship and collaborators, an established researcher pursuing team science opportunities, or a clinician-scientist developing translational research, our scientific programs provide a framework for scientific engagement, leadership development, and professional growth. Explore the programs to discover where your interests align and how membership can help advance your research and career.
