- Federal Project Grant Award Summary New York University received a $442,750 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), with performance extending from September 23, 2025 through August 31, 2027. This research initiative delivers a systematic, theory-driven analysis of implementation strategies for cervical cancer control policies in African low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The project employs a rigorous...
- The National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute awarded Wayne State University $155,000 on May 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to investigate multi-level predictors of diagnostic follow-up attendance after an abnormal cervical cancer screen. The project will identify individual-level and clinic-level barriers and facilitators to diagnostic follow-up completion among women who receive abnormal cervical cancer screening results. Current...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of Hawaii $555,703 on August 13, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to identify biological mechanisms and risk factors contributing to the progression of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast cancer among Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations. The research addresses a clinical gap: fewer than 50 percent of DCIS patients progress to invasive cancer, yet no...
The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $446,900 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to optimize geographic expansion of cervical cancer screening and treatment in remote and rural settings. The recipient will develop a scientific framework to identify optimal strategies for expanding cervical cancer screening access under resource constraints, designed to assist the Indian Health Service, the Alaska Tribal Health System, and state health departments in reaching populations at highest risk in rural and remote areas. The work includes construction of a geospatial healthcare accessibility model to identify areas with the greatest gaps in cervical cancer healthcare services, accounting for key barriers including scarcity of screening facilities, long travel distances, shortage of trained personnel, and transportation difficulties. The recipient will also develop spatial optimization strategies to expand access efficiently given available resources. The award period runs through August 31, 2028, with performance at UCLA's Los Angeles, California campus. This is a Project Grant assistance type.
