The Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) and participating National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICs) are issuing this R01 to solicit applications to address barriers and facilitators that impede use or uptake of cancer screening and preventive services in populations that experience health disparities.

Interventions should include screening, preventive services, or other healthcare processes, including timely follow-up of abnormal findings, and referral to accessible care.

Projects are encouraged to leverage collaborations with community partners and service providers.

Interventions should address barriers and facilitators at two or more of the following levels: patient, clinician, healthcare setting, and neighborhood/community.

Scope of Work

Projects are expected to develop and/or test interventions to expand or improve cancer screening, vaccinations and other preventive services, referrals, and/or follow-ups by addressing barriers and facilitators that impede use or uptake of cancer screening and preventive services in populations that experience health disparities.

Examples of intervention approaches may include, but are not limited to the following: Promote equitable access within primary care settings to screening, preventive services, and referral and linkages to appropriate diagnostic follow-up and accessible care. Establish collaborations with community partners and service providers that move beyond offering screening or preventive services in primary care settings (e.g., in dental or optometry clinics, schools, community centers, pharmacies, workplaces, churches, justice settings, fitness centers, etc.). Enhance, and/or adapt existing strategies or new combinations of evidence-based strategies.
