The University of Southern California (USC) has been awarded a $221,904 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to fund its "ADVANCE Cancer Health Disparities Research (CHDR) Training Program."
The five-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, aims to enhance the knowledge, skills, and capacity of predoctoral students in minority health, cancer health disparities research, and community engagement. The program will provide academic training in population sciences and cancer health disparities research, as well as professional development opportunities in cancer health disparities research and community outreach. The comprehensive training approach includes a new health equity certificate, mentored cancer health disparities research, community engagement activities, and workshops on professional and career development. This initiative seeks to promote diversity in minority health and health disparities research and prepare the next generation of researchers for careers addressing cancer health disparities.
