This funding opportunity seeks to support the Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) Program. The CPACHE Program develops and maintains comprehensive, long-term, and mutually beneficial partnerships between institutions serving underserved health disparity populations and underrepresented students (ISUPSs) and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs). The program aims to achieve a more robust national cancer program and address challenges in cancer and cancer disparities research, education, and outreach, as well as their impact on underserved populations. The institutions in each partnership are expected to work collaboratively to:

• increase the cancer research and cancer research education capacity of the ISUPSs;
• increase the number of students and investigators from underrepresented populations engaged in cancer research;
• improve the effectiveness of CCs in developing and sustaining research programs focused on cancer health disparities and increase the number of investigators and students conducting cancer health disparities research, and
• develop and implement cancer-related activities that benefit the surrounding underserved communities.

Application budgets are limited to $2 million in direct costs per year for partnerships of two institutions and $2.5 million in direct costs per year for partnerships of three institutions. The maximum period is 5 years.
