OCF funds medical research to aid the development of methods for early discovery and disease understanding. The foundation also offers direct peer to peer support for those suffering with the disease, along with caregivers. Breakthrough information is also provided to both the public and medical professionals to facilitate disease awareness, early discovery, and improve the quality and outcome of oral cancer treatment. It is engaged in advocacy related to these issues at the governmental level at the CDC, National Institutes of Health, FDA, and within the legislative branch itself. (en)
