This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 Cancer Treatment Research program) totaling $224,099 will support research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a targeted colorectal cancer (CRC) screening strategy for adults aged 45-49. The key objectives are to: Characterize the acceptability of CRC screening in this age group through a pilot trial and surveys/interviews to identify effective implementation strategies. Conduct a...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $696,852 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The grant will fund a 5-year research project to optimize a mobile messaging intervention for promoting colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among patients at community health centers (CHCs). The project aims to increase CRC screening rates, which are below national averages at CHCs, by leveraging text message...
This $1,793,830 federal Project Grant award was granted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393). The primary recipient, the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI), will conduct a cluster-randomized trial across 20 primary care clinics serving communities with at least 25% Spanish-speaking patient populations. The study aims to compare the impact of a Normalization Process Theory-guided...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) provides $205,700 to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research to conduct research aimed at understanding and overcoming rapid resistance to targeted therapies in colorectal cancer. The key objectives are to evaluate how intrinsic tumor features modulate the development of resistance to targeted therapies, and to test a novel combination approach involving DNA repair inhibition...

Describing the individual and joint effects of cancer treatment...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) will fund a research project titled "Interventions to Decrease Cancer Information Avoidance." The total funding amount is $637,596 over the award period from April 4, 2025 to March 31, 2030.

The project aims to develop and test a video-based intervention strategy designed to reduce defensive avoidance of colorectal cancer information and increase engagement with cancer screening messages. The goal is to improve the reach and effectiveness of health communication, as research shows that 20-30% of the general population tends to avoid seeking or exposing themselves to cancer-related information. The intervention is grounded in a theoretical model of defensive health information avoidance and incorporates components to increase self-efficacy and positive affect.

The project will involve a randomized controlled trial to assess the intervention's impact on screening intentions and uptake, as well as pragmatic trials in primary care settings to evaluate its effectiveness in increasing colorectal cancer screening rates among non-adherent patients. The awardee, The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, will lead the research in collaboration with various subrecipients.
