This webinar will provide information about RFA-CA-25-011, “The Confluence of Cancer Stigma and HIV Stigma in HIV-positive Individuals Diagnosed with Cancer (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)” and RFA-CA-25-012, “The Confluence of Cancer Stigma and HIV Stigma in HIV-positive Individuals Diagnosed with Cancer (R21 Clinical Trial Optional).”
This funding opportunity aims to support research that expands the current understanding of the confluence of cancer stigma and HIV stigma in people with HIV (PWH) diagnosed with cancer; assesses the impact of these two converging stigmas on cancer outcomes among PWH with cancer; leverages stigma reduction interventions at multiple levels to intervene on modifiable mechanisms of stigma that contribute to negative cancer outcomes among PWH with cancer; and promotes research in domestic and international contexts, focusing on regions in which the HIV-cancer burden is elevated.
NCI staff will provide an overview of the funding opportunity and application process and address general questions.
