Seed, cultivate and harvest: VCU Massey Cancer Center grows community partnerships through grant initiative
VCU Massey Cancer Center planted a seed over the past year in a variety of community-based organizations aimed at growing local efforts to improve the health of Virginians.
No single entity or organization has all of the resources, access and relationships to address the wide range of problems that factor into our health. That’s where the Community Grant Initiative comes in.
“The Community Grant Initiative is indicative of the cancer center’s mission to create a 21st century community-to-bench model for others to adopt,” said Robert A. Winn, M.D., director and Lipman chair of the VCU Massey Cancer Center.
Through this initiative, Massey Cancer Center has been working closely with community organizations throughout the commonwealth to increase outreach, engagement and research opportunities in an effort to improve cancer treatment and outcomes for patients.
Grants are broken up into three levels: Seed, Cultivate and Harvest. The funds aim to strengthen the capacity of community partners and bridge the gap between cancer research and the community.
