Welcome to CIPHR!

The Cancer Information & Population Health Resource

What is CIPHR?

The Cancer Information & Population Health Resource provides a prospective data linkage between metrics of cancer incidence, mortality, and burden in North Carolina and data sources at an individual and aggregate level that describe health care, economic, social, behavioral, and environmental patterns.

Vision

Improve cancer outcomes in North Carolina by enabling innovative research for understanding how to

• discover risk factors for cancer
• best prevent and treat cancer
• disseminate and implement proven prevention, early detection, and health systems changes
• improve life after a cancer diagnosis

How is it funded?

The University Cancer Research Fund (UCRF) generously provides funding via the State of North Carolina for cancer research including this phase of building the CIPHR resource.
