New Project Targets Minority Populations

To address disparities in cancer rates within minority and underserved populations in the United States, the National Cancer Institute is launching a new project to create and implement cancer control and prevention programs in these communities.

NCI has earmarked $30 million over the next 5 years to fund a diverse group of projects aimed at facilitating the relationship between scientific researchers and community leaders. These cooperative relationships will then be used to foster cancer awareness activities, support minority enrollment in clinical trials, and encourage minority scientists to participate in cancer research.

"This project is designed to encourage people from the community to work with scientists to find ways of addressing important questions in minority communities," said Otis Brawley, M.D., director of NCI's Office of Special Populations Research.

Requests for applications were announced late last month. (Further information is available at http://www.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-99-003.html or by calling the Office of Special Populations Research at 301-496-8589.)
