The National Cancer Institute awarded The Washington University a $160,093 Project Grant effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2028, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393). The grant supports research investigating perceptions and informational needs regarding risk-based prostate cancer screening among screening-eligible men. The research addresses disparities in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening practices, particularly among Black men who experience disproportionately higher incidence and mortality rates from prostate cancer. The project deliverables include evidence-based research to inform the implementation of risk-stratified screening recommendations that determine appropriate screening candidates, timing, and frequency based on individual risk profiles. The research will contribute to addressing current gaps in informed decision-making around PSA screening by examining how men perceive screening harms and benefits and by identifying effective strategies for implementing tailored screening decisions. This work is designed to support the development and implementation of nuanced, risk-based screening approaches that can reduce over-screening in lower-risk populations while ensuring appropriate screening access for higher-risk groups, with particular attention to the unique screening decision burdens faced by African American men.Federal Grant Award Summary
