GMaP encourages teams of researchers to work together to share information, resources, and tools; enhance underrepresented faculty recruitment/job placements; and strengthen region]based community research and outreach efforts that contribute to achieving the following goals: 1) advance the science of CHD research; 2) promote the development of the next generation of competitive, underrepresented cancer and CHD researchers; and ultimately, 3) achieve measurable reductions in CHD within the region. The Region 1/2 GMaP hub will be headquartered at the University of South Carolina, with sites at the University of Kentucky (subcontract to USC) and Johns Hopkins University.
