REACCT-CAN is dedicated to strengthening African institutions and networks for cancer research and to training a large cohort of African cancer scientists with the mission to generate collaborative African-led, African-relevant multidisciplinary research of international standing in oncology and cancer sciences in Africa. We will provide post-graduate training for 87 young African researchers in cancer prevention and care. Researchers will form teams across institutions to complement their strengths and build international networks.
