Office of Population Health Project Request Form

UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCDCCC) Office of Population Health (OPH) facilitates and disseminates impactful research on cancer determinants and outcomes for the UCDCCC catchment population with a focus on health equity to improve cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship.

OPH supports UCDCCC by advising Cancer Center Members and Associate Members on study design, facilitating access to data such as the California Cancer Registry (CCR) and our Catchment Area Population Assessment (CAPA) data, and conducting data analyses for population-based cancer research projects addressing the needs of our UCDCCC catchment population.

If you are interested in partnering with the office, please fill out the following information about your service request.
