Project Connect

Connecting with patients, survivors, and advocates worldwide

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Oncology Center of Excellence created Project Connect to give patients, survivors, and advocates a place to connect with each other and with OCE. We want to learn from your experiences and work together to improve cancer care for everyone.

Through Project Connect, we will:

  • Share information about regulated cancer treatments.
  • Discuss ways to make clinical trial participation more accessible.
  • Raise awareness about cancer around the world.

Why Project Connect?

The number of cancer cases worldwide is expected to increase dramatically in the coming years, especially in lower-income and middle-income countries. We need to work together to ensure that everyone has access to the best possible cancer care.

Join the Conversation

Project Connect will host a series of public discussions and dialogues, starting with a Conversation on Cancer on February 11, 2025. These events are open to everyone, regardless of nationality or location.

We want to hear from you about:

  • The challenges you face as a patient, survivor, or advocate.
  • How we can improve communication about cancer.
  • What we can do to make cancer care more equitable.
