Exploratory/Developmental Grants Program for Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities
Page 2

In addition, the program is also essentially seeking to not only bring together, but also to aid and facilitate an increase in the population of scientists with a high level of basic research expertise in the field of cancer health disparities research while simultaneously provide financial resources to those investigators who need additional support to successfully complete their existing cancer health disparity-associated projects.

In order to make this happen, the NIH and NCI are set to administer annual funds in the amount of $275,000 to support the initiatives of the program.

The institutions and organizations who will be considered eligible to take part in this program are the following:

a) Higher Education Institutions such as Public/State Controlled Institutions of Higher Education and Private Institutions of Higher Education

b) Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions

c) Nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education

d) For-Profit Organizations such as Small Businesses

e) State Governments, County Governments, City or Township Governments, Special District Governments, Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Federally Recognized), and Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized)

f) Independent School Districts, Public Housing Authorities/Indian Housing Authorities, Native American Tribal Organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments), Faith-based or Community-based Organizations, and Regional Organizations.
