Description

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites cooperative agreement (U54) applications for the implementation of Comprehensive Partnerships between institutions serving communities with cancer health disparities and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups of Centers). The purpose of this limited competition funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to foster and support intensive collaborations among investigators at institutions that serve communities with cancer health disparities in order to develop stronger national cancer programs aimed at understanding the reasons behind the significant cancer disparities and related impacts on these populations. This FOA is intended for: (1) supporting active Comprehensive Partnerships under the U54 mechanism; and (2) elevating the most promising partnerships currently in the planning phase (U56 awards) to the comprehensive status.
