Basic Research in Cancer Health Disparities (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

This program funds basic research on the biological and genetic causes and mechanisms of cancer health disparities, including pilot and feasibility studies, new methods and models, and secondary data analyses. Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including nonprofits, universities, governments, faith-based and community-based organizations, and foreign organizations. The grant does not allow clinical trials, does not require cost sharing, and awards may request up to $275,000 in direct costs over two years, with no more than $200,000 in any single year. Applications must focus on cancer health disparities tied to race, ethnicity, ancestry, or other underserved populations; studies of age or sex disparities alone, or behavioral, social, environmental, or community studies without biological mechanisms, are not responsive.
