The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai $1,329,731 on July 19, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to conduct EXPAND-PC, an intervention linking prostate cancer screening with socioeconomic needs assessments and community support resources for men aged 40–69 residing in New York City Housing Authority developments. The study addresses declining prostate cancer screening rates among at-risk men and the complex decision-making involved in screening, particularly among low-income populations facing housing instability and other socioeconomic barriers. The intervention integrates frameworks from the theory of planned behavior and a personal integrative model of prostate cancer disease outcomes, grounded in input from NYCHA community stakeholders. The target population includes approximately 520,800 NYCHA residents with average gross income of $25,057. Performance occurs in New York, NY 10029. The project period extends from the award date through January 31, 2031. This is a project grant, a standard NIH assistance type for investigator-initiated research.
