The purpose of this Notice is to encourage currently funded NCI extramural investigators to apply for administrative supplements to support cancer-related policy research including empirical evaluation of policy or evaluation of policy implementation or dissemination methods.
The goals of these administrative supplements on cancer-related health policy are to: 1) generate new or utilize secondary data that operationalize policies hypothesized to affect cancer control at the geographic, provider, patient, and/or temporal level; 2) examine the effects of existing policies and/or simulate the potential effects of new policies, with an emphasis on understanding health disparities by examining differential impacts on disadvantaged groups; 3) identify effective community-engaged strategies for dissemination or implementation of evidence to inform policymaking.
