ABOUT US.
Scientific research is essential in healthcare to find the most effective treatment or new ways to increase survival rates and improve the quality of life for people living with illnesses. Currently, there are two popular types of research, Clinical Trials and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR).
1/ Clinical Trials:
Clinical trials are research studies performed on people to test if a new treatment is safe and effective. Such studies have helped uncover new ways of preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease.
Clinical trials study new drugs that have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), new ways to use approved drugs, treatments such as radiation or surgery, or new ways to combine treatments. Clinical trials are important in developing new treatments for serious diseases like cancer.
2) Community-based participatory research (CBPR):
CBPR is a partnership approach to research that equitably involves community members, organizational representatives, researchers, and others in all aspects of the research process.
CBPR aims to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and to integrate the knowledge gained with interventions for the policy or social change benefiting the community members. CBPR is also a method to improve knowledge and understanding of the impact of cancers on the family and society. Most of the research that VACF participates in is CBPR.
The research participation rate of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) is not high and thus affects the interests of Vietnamese people in particular and AAPI people in general. VACF is currently working with several universities and other organizations to increase AAPI's research participation in three programs below.

As a National Community Engagement Partner in the All of Us Research Program, Asian Health Coalition established the Asian Engagement and Recruitment Core (ARC) with 17 community-based organizations from across the US, including VACF, and 2 national AANHPI-serving partner organizations. Together, ARC helps to shape and implement the All of Us strategy and roadmap to create culturally appropriate, cost-effective, and scalable education and outreach for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs).
