The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $645,317 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. This clinical trial, titled "Effect of Bundling Home-Based Self-Collection for Cervical and Colorectal Cancer Screening: The My Body, My Test-4 Trial," will investigate whether combined outreach of at-home self-collection kits improves screening outcomes for both colorectal cancer (CRC) and cervical cancer (CC) in underscreened populations. The study will enroll 2,499 women overdue for both CRC and CC screening at a federally qualified health center in North Carolina serving a medically underserved community. The project will evaluate three intervention arms: simultaneous mailed distribution of fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) kits for CRC and human papillomavirus (HPV) self-collection kits for CC; sequential distribution of kits one month apart; and usual care controls. The primary deliverable is evidence-based findings regarding the effectiveness of bundled versus sequential screening kit distribution to improve participation rates and screening coverage for both cancer types, with particular relevance to vulnerable populations with limited healthcare access.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
