The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center a $592,731 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) beginning May 15, 2026, and concluding April 30, 2031. This award supports a randomized controlled trial to improve prostate cancer screening among Black men in Oklahoma through development and validation of the Prostate Cancer Genius App (PCGA), a smartphone-based mobile health intervention. The PCGA provides prostate cancer education and navigation services for a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified at-home prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, designed to address documented screening disparities in the state where only 27% of eligible men have been screened in the past two years. The research addresses significant health disparities, as prostate cancer represents the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Black men in Oklahoma and the United States, with mortality rates 2 to 4 times higher than other racial groups. Building upon preliminary pilot randomized controlled trial results demonstrating significantly greater prostate cancer knowledge among PCGA users, the funded project will further evaluate the intervention's efficacy in reducing screening barriers related to limited provider engagement, knowledge gaps, and healthcare access challenges. The deliverables include research findings on app-based screening effectiveness and a scalable, innovative intervention model for potential broader implementation to improve early detection and reduce cancer mortality disparities in underserved populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
