NCI Center for Cancer Health Equity Webinar
The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Center for Cancer Health Equity (CCHE) will host a pre-application webinar on Wednesday, July 30, at 1 p.m. (CST) for the Administrative Supplements to Support Cancer Disparity Collaborative Research (the Collaborative).
The Collaborative seeks to create research and collaborations across the Cancer Health Disparities (CHD) spectrum. It supports new CHD research among investigators who do not normally conduct it and encourages the partnership of experienced cancer research investigators with CHD-focused researchers.
Budget
The award budget will be $150,000 for one year.
Background
Significant advancements in cancer research have led to improved diagnosis, prognosis, and outcomes for cancer patients. Despite this progress, cancer disparities remain for numerous types of cancers. An increase in the scope and depth of cancer disparities research, including expansion of the pool of competitive researchers with expertise to conduct cancer disparities research, remains a priority for NCI and is urgently needed to accelerate progress in reducing cancer disparities.
