    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a funding opportunity titled "Understanding Expectancies in Cancer Symptom Management" under the R01 Research Project Grant mechanism (PAR-23-273). This initiative aims to support mechanistic research focused on understanding expectancy effects—beliefs about future outcomes—and their impact on cancer symptom management, particularly among historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research. The program emphasizes the importance of identifying patient populations, symptoms, and contexts where expectancy effects can be leveraged to improve cancer outcomes, encouraging collaboration and diverse research teams to address health disparities. Applications are due by various dates from 2024 through early 2026, with no cost-sharing requirement, and interested applicants can find more information and contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov or visit the opportunity's webpage at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-23-273.html.

    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced a funding opportunity titled "Understanding Expectancies in Cancer Symptom Management" under the R01 Research Project Grant mechanism (PAR-23-273). This initiative seeks to foster mechanistic research on how expectancy effects—defined as beliefs about future outcomes—impact cancer symptom management. It emphasizes the need to explore these effects among historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research. Key objectives include identifying patient populations, symptoms, and contexts where expectancy effects can be harnessed to improve outcomes. Applicants are encouraged to implement the experimental medicine approach, investigating how expectancy-generating factors can affect cancer symptoms and measuring their impact. The program prioritizes collaboration and the inclusion of diverse teams, particularly those addressing health disparities. Applications are due by various dates listed throughout 2024 through early 2026, and a range of eligible organizations, including higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations, are invited to apply. This funding effort underscores NIH's commitment to addressing inequities in cancer care through targeted research initiatives.
