I-CHER Center Symposium and Celebration

Join us Thursday, January 23, for the Illinois Cancer Health Equity Research (I-CHER) Center’s third annual Research Symposium and Celebration, “Healing Together: Building Resilience in Cancer-Impacted Communities.”

This virtual event is open to the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) community, I-CHER Center research participants and providers, and other partners interested in community-based cancer health equity research. The symposium starts at 9 a.m. and the event ends at 12 p.m.

A limited number of breakfast bags will be available for pickup in advance at the Cancer Center offices on January 16, 21 and 22 at 818 South Wolcott Avenue on the third floor for registrants.

The I-CHER Center sits within the University of Illinois Cancer Center and is made possible with funding from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and support from the Cancer Center. The I-CHER Center on the UIC campus was 1 of 4 four Minority Serving Institutions that shared in more than $16 million in grants awarded by the ACS, beginning in January 2022, to establish Cancer Health Equity Research (CHER) Centers. The others were the University of Arizona, Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, and Howard University in Washington, D.C. Each institution received a four-year grant of $4.08 million.
