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

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) encourages grant applications from investigators interested in conducting basic, mechanistic research into the biological/genetic causes of cancer health disparities. The research project grants will support innovative studies designed to investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer disparities. Key areas of focus include mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer disparities, the development and testing of new methodologies and models, and secondary data analyses. The goal of this NOFO is 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. * Mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer disparities * Development and testing of new methodologies and models * Secondary data analyses * Growth of a nationwide cohort of scientists with basic research expertise in cancer health disparities research
