Overview

The Basic Research in Cancer Health Disparities Grant, which is a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), aims to promote research in understanding the biological and genetic causes of differences in cancer health outcomes. Specifically, this grant does not allow for clinical trials but supports original studies investigating the biological and genetic foundations of cancer health disparities. Appropriate research projects could include studies exploring the mechanisms of biological factors connected to cancer health disparities, basic research related to cancer biology or prevention strategies, or secondary data analysis.

The development and testing of new methodologies and models are also covered under this grant. The aim is not only to support innovative research, but also help cultivate a national community of scientists proficient in basic research techniques in the field of cancer health disparities.

These scientists are expected to enhance available resources and tools required for such research. This could include biospecimens, patient derived models, and new methods for research. By supporting such studies, this grant intends to bridge the gap in understanding cancer health disparities and ultimately improve care outcomes.
