This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program provides $432,304 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to develop enhanced cancer risk prediction models for underrepresented Black and Hispanic populations. The project aims to overcome limitations in current methods by creating novel data integration approaches that can leverage multi-source data, including electronic health records and biobanks, while addressing privacy concerns and effectively modeling the unique characteristics of diverse ancestral backgrounds. The deliverables include open-source software and new risk prediction tools for breast and prostate cancers tailored to these underserved populations. The project will run from January 3, 2025 through December 31, 2029.
