Exploratory/Developmental Grants Program for Basic Research in Cancer Health Disparities (R21)

This grant encourages applications from investigators interested in conducting basic, mechanistic research into the biological/genetic causes of cancer health disparities.

Grants will support pilot and feasibility studies designed to investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer disparities, such as

(1) mechanistic studies of biological factors associated with cancer disparities, including those related to basic research in cancer biology or cancer prevention strategies,

(2) the development and testing of new methodologies and models, 

(3) secondary data analyses.

Funding: $275,000
