NCI invites applications relevant to the priorities described in this NOFO and that support the National Cancer Plan. NCI is interested in observational research applications that will advance scientific understanding about the mechanisms through which conditions of the social and/or built environment influences cancer control inequities among populations that experience health disparities using an intersectionality framework. Of specific interest are intersectional research projects relevant to cancer control and centered on sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or people assigned female at birth. Studies of factors and outcomes at two or more levels (e.g., individual, interpersonal, healthcare teams, healthcare system, community, payer, policy) are encouraged.
