Oncology Award Grant: AACR-EMD Serono “I’M IN” Oncodisparity Fellowships in Lung and Urothelial Cancers |
Research projects should specifically address disparities in oncology care in the area of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or advanced urothelial carcinoma care and address barriers leading to inequality of cancer care that exist in institutions and within society at large. Preference will be given to proposals which seek to implement strategies or interventions to address, mitigate or eliminate one of more of these areas: Awareness – raising awareness within the medical and patient communities that racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in lung and urothelial cancer care exist and their impact.
