Research Funding Opportunities

CRCHD receives grant applications from the NCI Division of Extramural Activities (DEA) according to NCI referral guidelines. CRCHD does not have any open funding announcements at the present time. However, we are currently accepting unsolicited applications in cancer disparities. We encourage prospective applicants to speak with the Program Directors at the Center for more information.

For useful information about current funding opportunities in health disparities, as well as general information about the grants process, visit the websites below. View information on the grant application process and how to apply for funding.

Funding Opportunities related to Health Disparities

Featured Opportunities

• Oncometabolomics for Application in Cancer Detection, Prevention and Cancer Health Disparities RFI
  Information gathered through this RFI will promote and advance research for extramural investigators in the development and application of metabolomics in cancer detection, prevention, and treatment, and in cancer health disparities.
• Community Networks Program (CNP) - Centers for Reducing Cancer Disparities through Outreach, Research and Training (U54)
  This FOA solicits applications for CNP Centers that will utilize the Community-Based Particpatory Research (CBPR) approach to reduce cancer disparities.
  • Pre-application meeting is scheduled
• Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Opportunities for Disparities Researchers
  Two SBIR funding opportunities are available for institutions with for-profit affiliations to develop new diagnostic tools:
  • Imaging of Cancer Stem Cells
  • Molecular Diagnostic Assay for Detecting Basal-like Breast Cancer
• The Biology of Estrogen Receptor-Negative Breast Cancer in Various Racial and Ethnic Groups (U01)
  Funding available to promote the systematic study of the biology of estrogen receptor (ER)-negative human breast cancers and to identify differences in the biology of ER-negative breast tumors among racial and ethnic groups. This program offers five years of funding for up to three awards.
• Diet, Epigenetic Events, and Cancer Prevention (R01) and (R21)
  This funding opportunity supports clinical and preclinical research that establishes how diet and dietary factors are involved in cancer development and prevention.
• Early Detection Research Network: Clinical Validation Centers (U01)
  Funding opportunity for Clinical Validation Centers (CVCs) to assist with the discovery, development, and validation of biomarkers for early cancer detection, risk assessment and the molecular diagnosis and prognosis of early cancer.
• Early Detection Research Network: Biomarker Reference Laboratories (U24)
  Funding opportunity for Biomarker Reference Laboratories (BLRs) to assist with the discovery, development, and validation of biomarkers for early cancer detection, risk assessment and the molecular diagnosis and prognosis of early cancer.
• Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards for Individual Predoctoral Fellowships (F31) to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research
  Funding available for a predoctoral fellowship to promote diversity of the health-related research workforce. The initiative supports research training leading to the PhD, MD/PhD degree; or equivalent in biomedical, behavioral, health services, or clinical sciences.
• Feasibility Studies for Collaborative Interaction for Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnership (P20)
  Support available for feasibility studies to assist researchers/faculty at Minority-Serving Institutions establish collaborative partnerships with researchers/faculty of NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or other institutions with highly-organized, integrated research efforts focused on cancer).
• Exploratory Grant Award to Promote Workforce Diversity in Basic Cancer Research (R21)
  The purpose is to improve the diversity of the research workforce by supporting eligible investigators from minority and underrepresented groups to conduct research projects focused on the basic biology of cancer.
• Exploratory/Developmental Grants Program for Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities (R21)
  Support available for researchers from diverse populations, such as CURE and MI/CCP investigators, to conduct basic research studies into the causes and mechanisms of cancer health disparities.
