Description

Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to: support seven region-based hubs or networks to facilitate underrepresented investigator/trainee recruitment and career/professional development; provide enhanced capacity in the area of cancer health disparities (CHD) research; and promote CHD research-related infrastructure development and evaluation. The Geographic Management of Cancer Health Disparities Program (GMaP) is focused on creating regional linkages and connections with networks of local contacts in NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs), institutions serving underserved health disparity populations and underrepresented students (ISUPS), and other organizations and agencies on topics related to CHD research and improving diversity in the biomedical workforce. The goals of GMaP are to: 1) support and enhance the science of CHD; 2) promote the development of the next generation of competitive, underrepresented cancer and CHD investigators; and 3) enhance access to cancer information and research among underserved communities. The GMaP-focused administrative supplements to cancer center support (P30) grants (resulting from this FOA) are intended to leverage the significant resources and infrastructure available at the CCs, and within CRCHD flagship programs, including: Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE), Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (PACHE), and the National Outreach Network (NON).
