The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $536,807 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to support the Cancer Health Drivers Training Program (CHDP), a postdoctoral training initiative awarded on September 1, 2026, with completion through August 31, 2031. The CHDP delivers comprehensive research training and mentorship to postdoctoral fellows committed to careers focused on identifying drivers of and developing interventions to reduce cancer-related health disparities across populations. The program provides structured mentoring from eighteen primary faculty mentors housed within UNC's Gillings School of Global Public Health, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy, and School of Social Work, enabling trainees from diverse disciplinary backgrounds—including epidemiologists, behavioral scientists, and physicians—to gain expertise in both biological and behavioral research methodologies while utilizing institutional core facilities. The CHDP has demonstrated substantial outcomes since its inception in 2009, having enrolled 28 postdoctoral fellows with 95% of 22 alumni currently in research positions and 72% serving as academic faculty. The program's three primary objectives focus on building mentored research expertise through multidisciplinary guidance, developing competency in cancer outcomes research, and preparing scholars for independent research careers advancing the National Cancer Program's priorities in cancer prevention and treatment equity.Federal Grant Award Summary
