The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering this grant, the Comprehensive Partnerships program, to establish robust collaborations between institutions in underserved communities experiencing cancer health disparities and NCI-designated Cancer Centers. This grant is for fostering intensive partnerships aimed at understanding the root causes of significant cancer disparities affecting racial, ethnic, and socio-economically disadvantaged populations, ultimately strengthening national cancer programs. Utilizing the NIH U54 cooperative agreement mechanism, this limited competition funding opportunity extends support for successful existing partnerships and elevates promising developing collaborations. Approximately $5.25 million was committed in FY10 to fund four to five new or renewal applications, furthering efforts to reduce health inequities.
