Grant Description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. A growing body of evidence indicates that the number of individuals dying of colorectal cancer could be greatly reduced through appropriate screening. Although there is now general agreement that average- risk adults aged 50 and older should be screened for colorectal cancer, national survey data show that less than half of eligible adults have ever been screened for this disease. Primary care practice is an important point of entry for colorectal cancer screening. The National Cancer Institute and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality are interested in promoting research to improve colorectal cancer screening delivery, utilization, and outcomes in primary care practice. The objective of this Program Announcement is to encourage health services, social and behavioral, and outcomes researchers to develop innovative research projects to increase the knowledge base for enhanced translation of effective colorectal cancer screening techniques into community practice. Both R21 and R01 projects will be supported by this program.
