University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center researchers Loïc Le Marchand and Jeffrey Berenberg will lead the development of the first Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Hawaiʻi that will focus on conducting public impact research that bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and their real-world applications, primarily focusing on local ethnic groups.

The state will create a new national center to provide access to culturally and linguistically appropriate behavioral health services for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders thanks to a federal grant.
