  1. CRCHD: Cancer Health Disparities Research and Diversity Training Opportunities Mary Ann S. Van Duyn, PhD Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities NCI Division of Cancer Biology New Grantee Workshop March 12, 2014

  2. URMs Truly Are Underrepresented in the Cancer Research Workforce Drew, ASBMB Today, Jan 2010.

  3. Majority Minorities…Changing Face of the U.S.

  4. Why is Diversity Important? • Broadens the research “lens” to include new viewpoints from those from diverse backgrounds • Enhances innovation and creativity in cancer research • Contributes to reducing cancer disparities by more effectively addressing existing disparities within the population • Promotes fairness in the use of public funds for cancer research • Consistent with NIH’s Commitment to Excellence: providing support for talented individuals to explore ideas at the highest level of inquiry

  5. Probability of NIH R01 awards by Race and Ethnicity (FY 2000-FY 2006 ) (N = 83,188)

  6. NCI CRCHD Mission Within CRCHD and Across the NCI Divisions, Offices and Centers • Leads NCI’s efforts in the training of students and investigators from diverse populations in cancer and cancer health disparities (CHD) research • Coordinates and strengthens the NCI cancer research portfolio in basic, clinical, translational and population-based research to reduce cancer health disparities

  7. Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities

  8. Basic Research – CRCHD/DCB Collaboration CRCHD R21/U01 • Understanding Biological Variations • Determining Mechanisms and Pathways • Creating Tailored Diagnostics/Therapies

  9. Exploratory/Developmental Grant for Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities (R21) PAR-12-094 To support pilot and feasibility studies and innovative mechanistic studies that investigate biological/genetic bases of cancer health disparities • All Eligible • Preliminary data is not required • $275K Direct Cost Limit for 2 year project period • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-094.html

  10. Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities (U01) PAR-12-095 To conduct basic, mechanistic research into the biological/genetic causes of cancer health disparities. • All Eligible • Preliminary Data Required • $250K Direct Cost Limit per year and not to exceed 5 years • http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-12-095.html

  11. R21/U01 Basic Research in Cancer Health Disparities (PAR-12-094/095) * 1 Lymphoma, 1 Liver Cancer, 1 Wilms‘ Tumor , 3 Multiple Cancers • Topics of U01 grants funded in FY 2013 • Role of Chemokine Receptors in Prostate Cancer Progression Disparities • Investigations on HPV Variants and Ethnic Disparities in Cervical Cancer • Metabolic Profiles and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Breast Cancer • Topics of R21 grants funded in FY 2012 • Significance of Cancer Stem/Stem-like Cells in African-Americans with Colorectal Cancer • Viral and Immune Host Response Factors as Biological Bases of Disparity in Liver Cancer Survival among Asian Americans • Role Of MicroRNAs in Prostate Cancer among African-Americans • Glycation as a Mechanism Promoting Cancer Health Disparity • Significance of Mitochondrial DNA in African-American Prostate Cancer Patients

  12. Provocative Questions RFA • Group A • Cancer Prevention and Risk • Group B • Mechanisms of Tumor Develop-ment or Recurrence • Group C • Tumor Detection, Diagnosis, and Prognosis • Group D • Cancer Therapy and Outcomes • Group D • Clinical Effectiveness R01 and R21 mechanisms are available for each PQ PQC – 3: How do variations in tumor-associated immune responses among patients from distinct well-defined populations, such as various racial/ethnic or age groups, contribute to differences in cancer outcomes?
