Limited Competition: NIMHD Initiative for Improving American Indian and Alaska Native Cancer Outcomes (U19 - Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a forecast for a limited competition titled the NIMHD Initiative for Improving American Indian and Alaska Native Cancer Outcomes. This initiative seeks to fund research focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancers among American Indians and Alaska Natives, with a specific emphasis on those residing in rural communities. The primary objective is to reduce overall cancer incidence and mortality through findings that directly improve health outcomes for these patients and their families. This opportunity is structured as a U19 grant where clinical trials are optional. Eligible organizations will be invited to apply, and all submissions will undergo a standard NIH peer-review process to ensure only meritorious applications are selected for funding. Interested parties can contact the NIMHD DCHPS Scientific Team for further information regarding this research initiative.
