Basic Research in Cancer Health Disparities (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This grant is titled "Basic Research in Cancer Health Disparities". It does not permit clinical trials (R01). The intention of this funding opportunity is to motivate researchers to delve into the core, mechanistic studies of the biological and genetic factors leading to disparities in cancer health.

The grant enables cutting-edge research aimed at understanding the biological or genetic underpinnings of cancer disparities. The projects may involve various areas of research like mechanistic studies of biological factors intertwined with cancer disparities, basic research in cancer biology or cancer prevention strategies. They can also include the invention and exploration of novel methodologies and models, or analysis of secondary data.

The grant not only supports path-breaking research but also is committed to fostering a nationwide network of researchers with substantial expertise in basic research of cancer health disparities. These professionals will enlarge the spectrum of resources and tools essential for conducting this vital research. This includes things like biospecimens, patient-derived models, and innovative methods.
