The GRACE Center, part of UW Medicine’s Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, brings together academic and community members to improve health and healthcare for Black women facing endometrial cancer. Its name stands for Gynecologic Research and Cancer Equity, reflecting a focus on addressing disparities in reproductive care and cancer outcomes. The center combines research with community engagement, aiming to support better healthcare systems and respond to the needs of affected communities.

The center provides information about endometrial cancer, including what it is and how it differs from cervical and ovarian cancers. Its educational materials highlight the disease’s impact and racial inequities in outcomes, including higher mortality among Black women in the United States. The website also features research projects, presentations and publications, team information, and news. Named initiatives include the BRIDGE Study and GUIDES BY US. The center also points visitors to ECANA, the Endometrial Cancer Action Network for African-Americans, a community of survivors, researchers, and advocates working to advance education, connection, and research progress.
