Interventions to expand cancer screening and preventive services to ADVANCE health in populations that experience health disparities (R01, Clinical Trial Required)

The Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) and associated National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICs) are offering a grant under the title "Interventions to expand cancer screening and preventive services to ADVANCE health in populations experiencing health disparities" (R01, Clinical Trial Required). This grant proposal aims to find solutions for barriers that block the utilization of cancer screening and preventive services in communities experiencing health disparities.

Successful applications should propose interventions that encompass not only cancer screening, preventive services, but also other healthcare processes. This includes the swift follow-up to irregular screening results and referrals to easily accessible healthcare services. Applicants are encouraged to establish partnerships with local community and service providers to execute these projects effectively.

Ideally, the proposed interventions should tackle obstacles at two or more levels including the patient, clinician, healthcare setting, and surrounding neighborhood or community. The specific areas of study sought by the involved NIH ICs are discussed in detail within the proposal.
