National Cancer Institute Grants for Basic Cancer Research in Health Disparities (R21)

The National Cancer Institute is offering grants through the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities and the Division of Cancer Biology for basic research into the causes of cancer health disparities. These grants support pilot studies, method development, data analysis, and mechanistic research to advance understanding of biological factors contributing to cancer health disparities. The aim is to cultivate a diverse group of researchers with expertise in cancer health disparities and provide resources to enhance competitiveness for R01 funding in basic mechanistic research on cancer health disparities. Closing date for applications is Nov 20, 2014.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) and the Division of Cancer Biology (DCB), at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), invite grant applications from investigators interested in conducting basic research studies into the biological causes and mechanisms of cancer health disparities. These awards will support pilot and feasibility studies, development and testing of new methodologies, secondary data analyses, and innovative mechanistic studies that investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer health disparities. This FOA is also designed to aid and facilitate the growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with a high level of basic research expertise in cancer health disparities research and to provide resources for those investigators that may need additional support on their path to successfully compete for R01 funding in basic mechanistic research in understanding cancer health disparities.
