The Cancer Prevention Institute of California, located in Fremont, California, is a center for cancer research, examining the incidence of cancer among general and specific groups of people at the local, state, and national level, and for the dissemination of cancer screening information. CPIC studies help scientists and public health agencies understand when ethnic, racial, or other demographic-based variables result in health disparities wherein one group has a higher incidence of cancer compared to other groups of people. For example, CPIC research has demonstrated the higher incidence of colorectal cancer among certain Asian populations. The organization was also instrumental in identifying and understanding factors leading to the markedly higher incidence of breast cancer among women in the San Francisco Bay Area's Marin County, California. On February 17, 2010, Northern California Cancer Center changed its name to the Cancer Prevention Institute of California (CPIC). == CPIC Scientists ==
CPIC typically has between twelve and fifteen doctoral level scientists working under the direction of a Chief Scientific Officer. Most of the organization’s scientists have degrees in epidemiology, demography, biostatistics, or public health. To support their research, they compete individually and collectively for major government awards, and for private sector research awards as these become available. The scientist designated as the study’s principal investigator assembles a team of experts, such as demographers or biostatisticians, who will conduct the investigation and when a grant or contract is awarded based on peer review, other study staff, such as field staff, are hired. When the study is completed, the results are disseminated, primarily by being published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, such as Journal of the American Medical Association. CPIC scientists also hold faculty appointments at Stanford University’s School of Medicine.
