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.
