On July 10, 2009, RIH was awarded $11M over five years from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) to support the COBRE Center for Cancer Research Development (CCRD).
 Under the overall direction of Dr. Douglas Hixson, the mission of the CCRD has been and will continue to be the development of a strong basic cancer research enterprise centered around the overarching theme of GI Cancer. The focus on gastrointestinal cancer as an overarching theme was a choice based on 1) the rising incidence of liver cancer in the US; 2) the higher than average incidence of colorectal cancer in Rhode Island; and 3) the strength of faculty within Lifespan/Brown University in liver research and/or treatment of liver disease and GI cancer. This is best exemplified by the Lifespan Liver Research Center where over 40 faculty members under the direction of Dr. Jack Wands are involved in treatment of liver disease or basic research centered on growth regulation of hepatocytes and the molecular pathogenesis of HCV/HBV.
