This is an R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant aimed at supporting research that examines how the combined stigmas of cancer and HIV affect health outcomes in HIV-positive individuals diagnosed with cancer. The initiative seeks to promote innovative pilot studies that assess and address the negative impacts of these stigmas, proposing interventions at multiple levels to enhance cancer care and outcomes. The program is open for applications starting November 13, 2024, with a total funding of $1 million anticipated for three awards, each limited to $275,000 over two years. Applications must consider the intersectionality of various identity-based stigmas and focus on adult populations, particularly in regions with a high burden of HIV and cancer.
