- The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of Louisville $654,474 on August 6, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to implement and test a stepped oncology financial and legal navigation (OFLN) intervention for adolescent and young adult cancer patients experiencing financial toxicity. The project will conduct a randomized hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial comparing stepped OFLN—which risk-stratifies patients into low-intensity web-based...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $258,945 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to adapt and pilot test Roadmap to Parenthood, an evidence-based digital decision aid and planning tool for family building after cancer.

- The National Cancer Institute awarded Vanderbilt University Medical Center $518,470 on June 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to characterize links between fertility and energy balance among young patients after early-onset colorectal cancer diagnosis. The award funds prospective collection of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and reproductive health questionnaires, plus one-week accelerometry-assessed physical activity data from colorectal cancer...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The Washington University $425,088 on May 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to evaluate the delivery and quality of lung cancer care among older adults enrolled in Medicare Advantage versus traditional Medicare. The research examines disparities in lung cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes across these two insurance programs. The project compares guideline-concordant treatment...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The Washington University $160,093 on May 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to investigate perceptions and informational needs regarding prostate cancer screening among screening-eligible men, with particular attention to racial disparities. The research addresses how men perceive the harms and benefits of prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening, especially in the context of risk-stratified screening...
The National Cancer Institute awarded The Washington University $155,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to characterize the direct and indirect costs of fertility preservation options for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, including out-of-pocket fees, transportation, and time off work for parents and caregivers. The research addresses financial hardship among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, examining how cost barriers and insurance coverage gaps affect access to fertility preservation methods such as sperm banking, testicular tissue freezing, egg freezing, and ovarian tissue freezing. The study recognizes that fertility preservation decisions are preference-sensitive, dependent on both medical evidence and patients' informed, values-concordant preferences, and that financial hardship is associated with diminished health-related outcomes and quality of life among cancer survivors. The award supports a two-year project period through August 31, 2028, with work performed in St. Louis, Missouri. The assistance type is a Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program, which supports research to identify cancer risks, risk reduction strategies, and mechanisms for cancer prevention and preventive interventions, including health-related quality of life and patient-centered outcomes research.
