Improving Outcomes and Promoting Whole-Person Care in Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology

The Behavioral and Clinical Outcomes Research Program (BCORP) is the home for cancer outcomes research within the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders Research. The BCORP portfolio incorporates diverse yet complementary topics including biobehavioral and psychosocial outcomes, health services, and communication science. Our work is informed by the psychosocial needs of our patients and families and leverages innovative transdisciplinary research methods to improve pediatric and AYA cancer care for all.
