The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $2,520,895 Cooperative Agreement grant under the Cancer Centers Support Grants (CFDA 93.397) program to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The 5-year award, effective August 1, 2025, supports research projects aimed at improving cancer health disparities by investigating the interplay of tumor genomic and immune characteristics with social and structural drivers of health.

The funded projects focus on three diverse cancer types - meningioma, prostate cancer, and breast cancer - with the goal of developing novel tools and models to examine these factors and their impact on cancer outcomes. The research activities will leverage UCSF's expertise in translational research, clinical trials, and advanced scientific investigations across diverse biomedical domains. The award also supports developmental research, career enhancement programs, and specialized research cores to expand the community of cancer health disparities investigators.
