Clinical Trial Outreach Mission Grant

Limited Submissions

Note: Fred Hutch is managing the limited submission review for this opportunity. Contact them directly at: fundinginfo@fredhutch.org

The objective of the 2022 V Foundation Clinical Trial Outreach Mission Grant is to support outreach efforts for Black/African American communities that are currently underrepresented in clinical trials and disproportionately affected by cancer. The V Foundation and ESPN are very aware that racial disparities undermine public health, including cancer. Black/African Americans have the highest death rate and shortest length of survival of any racial ethnic group for most cancers. Concerned about these disparities, we’ve partnered together to fund this clinical trial outreach initiative. These Mission Grants will fund Clinical Trial Outreach projects that increase clinical trial enrollment for all populations; but are also expected to contain specific outreach to the Black/African American population.

Eligibility Requirements

  • Applicant must be employed at Fred Hutch/UW Cancer Consortium.
    • Nominee will be the Administrator for the grant and responsible for execution of the project and subsequent outcome reporting.

Funding:

  • $50,000 grant for use over one year.
  • No indirect costs allowed.
  • See the Updated Unrecovered Facilities and Administrative Costs Approval Criteria regarding applicability to this opportunity.
  • Dollars for clinical trial outreach can be used in a variety of ways to increase clinical trial awareness and enrollment such as:
  •  Hiring of a patient navigator to educate eligible patients about the clinical trial
  •  Educating community referral physicians on clinical trial availability and eligibility
  •  Developing educational materials (written, video, website) to inform the public about clinical trials
  •  Creating a survey/focus group to determine how best to reach underrepresented populations
  •  Identifying and addressing educational or other barriers to clinical trial enrollment
