Section I. Funding Opportunity Description
NIH IC-Specific Priorities
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) leads, conducts, and supports research to improve cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Currently, cancer is a leading cause of premature death worldwide. Approximately one-third of global cancer deaths are attributable to behavioral risk factors, such as tobacco and alcohol use, low fruit and vegetable intake, obesity, and lack of physical activity. Predictions suggest that, by 2030, 30 million people will die from cancer each year, of whom 75% will be in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). A key challenge to reducing the global burden of cancer in LMICs, and in other populations experiencing cancer health disparities, is the poor implementation of cancer prevention and control strategies that have been proven to work. NCI encourages applications that pursue innovative approaches to adapt, integrate, and scale-up implementation of these interventions, in accessible and affordable ways, to improve the prevention and early diagnosis of cancer in low-resource city environments. Investigators are encouraged to contact NCI Scientific/Research staff before submitting applications to discuss the match to NCI priorities.
