The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
This funding opportunity supports the Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) Program. The CPACHE Program aims to foster comprehensive, long-term partnerships between institutions serving underserved health disparity populations and underrepresented students (ISUPSs), and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs). The goals are to enhance the cancer research and education capabilities of ISUPSs, promote diversity in the cancer research workforce, improve CCs' effectiveness in cancer health disparities research, and develop outreach and education efforts focused on cancer's impact on underserved communities.
