Beginning in 2015, the three institutions in the Florida Academic Cancer Center Alliance have made a considerable impact on cancer research in the state of Florida. This research led to a direct improvement in the treatment and care of the residents of Florida. The state’s three academic cancer centers —the University of Florida Health Cancer Center, the Moffitt Cancer Center, and the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center — make presentations and reports on their impact to both the general public, as well as state and local officials on a regular basis. Each of these presentations and reports can be found below.
Foundational Documents
The movement to create the FACCA program began in the summer and fall of 2013.
Officials from Gov. Rick Scott’s office and the Office of Policy and Budget’s Health and Human Services policy unit worked together to create a series of documents, which serve as the foundation for the FACCA program.
Three-Year Impact Reports
According to the statutory language that created the FACCA program, the National Cancer Institutes in Florida submit this report containing specific metrics relating to cancer mortality and external funding for cancer-related research in the state every three years. The following reports have been submitted since the creation of the program.
