All of Us Southern California Consortium
The All of Us Southern California Consortium (AoUSCC) β a partnership among UC Irvine, MemorialCare, and Loma Linda University Health β is part of the All of Us Research Program, from the National Institute of Health. The All of Us Research Program is a national research program that aims to include one million or more people in the United States to study health and disease. Participants share their data and join a community of researchers to advance precision medicine and health equity.
All of Us Researcher Workbench
The National Institutes of Healthβs All of Us Research Program aims to partner with one million or more people across the United States to build one of the largest, most diverse health databases in history. πππ π°π§ ππ΄ was conceived of and designed with the goal of improving diversity, access, and broad inclusion across all aspects in pursuit of precision health. We invite researchers from diverse backgrounds, institutions, career stages, and scientific perspectives to register.
Cancer Genetics Research
Athena
Athena Breast Health Network is a groundbreaking program designed to revolutionize breast cancer care by more efficiently merging research, technology, financing and healthcare delivery in a way that reduces the time needed to translate research findings into patient care. It is expected that the resulting rich database of information will shape breast cancer care for decades to come.

BCAC
Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) is an international multidisciplinary dynamic consortium aimed at identifying genes that may be relate to the risk of breast cancer. BCAC has over 420,000 women participating from more than 100 studies that provides demographics, clinical data, and key epidemiological risk factors.

CARRIERS
Using data from the Cancer Risk Estimates Related to Susceptibility (CARRIERS) consortium, Mayo Clinic researchers determined the risks that women carrying different germline genetic mutations had of developing cancer in both breasts, known as contralateral breast cancer.

CCR
California Cancer Registry (CCR) is a statewide population-based cancer surveillance system. It collects information about all cancers diagnosed in California. Our Cancer Surveillance Program of Orange County (CSPOC), which is part of the state system, collects data for Orange, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial counties.
Registry data helps our understanding of cancer and the development of strategies and policies for prevention, treatment and control. Cancers can be cured if detected early and treated promptly. Our partnership with CCR allows GERI health researchers to analyze geographic, ethnic, occupational and other differences that provide clues that can point to risk factors.

Melanoma
NCI-funded researchers are working to advance our understanding of how to treat melanoma and other skin cancers. Much progress has been made in treating people with melanoma that has spread in their bodies (metastatic melanoma). Yet many people still don’t benefit from the newest drugs, and others may relapse after initially successful treatment.

OCAC
Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC), an international group of over 100 studies working together to validate the results of genetic association studies in ovarian cancer. OCAC aims to find subtle genetic changes, called polymorphisms, that may exist and predispose women to ovarian cancer.

WHI
The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is a long-term national health study that focuses on strategies for preventing heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. These chronic diseases are the major causes of death, disability, and frailty in older women of all races and backgrounds.
