Cancer Center Community Outreach and Engagement Pilot Projects RFA
IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is inviting proposals for pilot/feasibility research projects focused on how demographics, social determinants of health, comorbidities (obesity, diabetes, hypertension etc.) and behaviors (tobacco use, screening, preventive measures such as vaccination, diet and exercise) affect cancer risk, diagnosis and treatment and survivorship. Special consideration is given to the cancers with the highest incidence and morbidities in our catchment area (lung, colorectal, prostate, breast, pancreas and cervical) with the ultimate goal of eliminating cancer’s burden in Indiana and beyond.
The duration of this pilot funding is one year, and the budget should not exceed $50,000.
