Train and Empower Research Advocates
Our Research Advocacy Training and Support (RATS) program empowers and trains colorectal cancer research advocates to become the most educated patient voices at research tables. Our research advocates sit on some of the leading committees and boards in their local communities and across the country to ensure patients are at the center of all research decisions.
Convene and Collaborate
We convene and collaborate with leading experts to tackle big questions.
Publications
Fight CRC, along with our committed medical experts, aims to lead the path to a cure for colorectal cancer. By publishing peer-reviewed original research and perspectives in leading healthcare journals, we continue to push science forward.
Path to a Cure
Our Path to a Cure report is our plan for the future. This plan is not just for Fight CRC, but for everyone who is willing to champion this cause. Together, with our partners, medical experts, and advocates, we work relentlessly to advance progress and eliminate barriers across the colorectal cancer continuum.
Think Tanks
Our Think Tanks have proven instrumental in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in research. Serving as unbiased mediators, we bring together diverse groups of key stakeholders and thought leaders who share information and ideas to accelerate colorectal cancer research.
Meet Our Experts
Some of the leading scientists, clinicians, and professionals in colorectal cancer research have joined forces with us to form our Medical Advisory Board (MAB) and expert workgroups. These professionals donate their time and expertise to ensure resources patients receive are credible and accurate. From publishing peer-reviewed articles in leading healthcare journals to focusing on cutting-edge research and initiatives across disciplines, our experts explore how we can work together to find a cure.
Fund and Support
We fund and support innovative research initiatives to advance colorectal cancer research and improve outcomes.
Funding Research
Our generous donors allow us to fund innovative research. We restrict funds for the sole purpose of supporting colorectal cancer research initiatives. When you donate to our Research Fund, 100% of the proceeds support our research efforts. This has led to over $1 million put toward research.
Get Involved
Research takes collaboration. It takes thought leaders, experts, and advocates working together to move research forward. Together, we can explore new ways to partner with and support the scientific and patient communities.
Advocating for Research Funds
Fight CRC’s grants to colorectal cancer research are just one way cancer research gets funded. Most cancer research happening in the United States is funded by the federal government. This is why Fight CRC asks Congress to direct federal funds toward lifesaving medical research.
