The purpose of the WI CCC Statewide Inventory Cancer Resource Catalogue is to provide a statewide resource portal on cancer related topics and research in Wisconsin. This portal should also provide opportunities for organizations and individuals to coordinate their work and therefore reduce duplication of cancer research and associated funds. If you know of an activity that is taking place in Wisconsin related to a plan priority, please complete the Statewide Inventory form so that we can post this information to this website.

For more information or other ways to contribute to the WI CCC, contact us via email at wicancer@uwccc.wisc.edu.
