The NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) proudly celebrates the history of the Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) program by honoring some of our most accomplished scholars, mentors and champions, as well as their achievements in the CURE program, through the CURE Distinguished Scholars Seminars(DSS).

The CURE DSS recognize outstanding former CURE scholars and their research. These scientific seminars highlight leading-edge cancer health disparities research, along with new advancements, ideas, and trends in the field of cancer disparities.

Over the course of more than two decades, the CURE program has supported more than 3,000 CURE students, trainees and early-stage investigators. CRCHD is inspired by their competitiveness in obtaining research funding, their contributions to the field of cancer and cancer health disparities research, the remarkable vision and innovation in their work, and their continued commitment to the CURE program.

CRCHD also recognized scholars at a 2017 event, Celebrating 21 Years of the CURE Program Recognition Ceremony.
