(RESUBMISSION) Multi-Level Evaluation of Racial/Ethnic and Socioeconomic Disparities in Liver Disease Outcomes.
Govt. Funding: National Institute of Health (NIH)
Grant Type: NIH Research Project Grant (R01)
Submitted: April 2019
Expected Role (Effort): Co-I (10%); PI: Kanwal F (BCM)
Expected Period: 02/01/2020 to 01/31/2025

[modal_window title="DISPARITIES IN CIRRHOSIS OUTCOMES" invoke_title="PROJECT BRIEF" id="disparities-cirrhosis-resubmit" show_on_load=""]Cirrhosis, a condition with high morbidity and mortality, is becoming increasingly common. Also, cirrhosis complications disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minorities and persons of low socioeconomic status (SES). The first key step towards eliminating substantial and growing disparities in cirrhosis prognosis is to understand the key factors contributing to these disparities. The proposal seeks to characterize the relative and absolute contributions of factors that drive these racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities using the National Institutes of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Framework, which attributes health disparities to biological, behavioral, sociocultural, and healthcare factors at the individual patient, interpersonal, and community levels.[/modal_window]


Reducing Disparities in the Risk of Hepatocellular Cancer In Texas.
Govt. Funding: Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT)
Grant Type: Academic Research Award
Submitted: January 2019
Expected Role (Effort): Co-I (10%); PI: Kanwal F (BCM)
Expected Period: 08/01/2019 to 07/31/2025

[modal_window title="REDUCING LIVER CANCER DISPARITIES IN TEXAS" invoke_title="PROJECT BRIEF" id="txliver-cancer-disparities" show_on_load=""]Data related to the HCC incidence and outcomes in Texas underscore the urgency of addressing disparities in the HCC risk and prognosis in Texas. Yet, clinical interventions and policies to close these gaps have lagged behind. This is because fundamental questions about how disparities arise remain unanswered. Without a clear understanding about what to target, clinical care and outreach efforts to close these gaps will continue to struggle. The CPRIT identified a need for interventions to reduce disparities in HCC as a high priority. The proposed study addresses this priority.[/modal_window]


The Development of Center for the Advancement of Cancer Survivorship Care Delivery (CASCADE) Center.
Govt. Funding: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Grant Type: Implementation Science for Cancer Control: Developing Centers (P50)
Submitted: February 2019
Expected Role (Effort): Pilot Study PI (TBD); PI: Badr H (BCM)
Expected Period: 09/01/2019 to 08/31/2024

[modal_window title="CANCER SURVIVORSHIP CENTER" invoke_title="PROJECT BRIEF" id="cascade-center-modal" show_on_load=""]The overarching goal of the CASCADE (Center for the Advancement of Cancer Survivorship Care Delivery) P50 developing center is to build the research capacity and research-practice partnerships needed to accelerate translation of survivorship evidence-based interventions (EBIs) into care. One of the two initial pilot studies for CASCADE will use EHR and GIS data to develop a computational method for identifying DLDCCC catchment area survivors who are at greatest risk for second cancers/other comorbidities. Its innovation is in establishing a method for assessing contextual factors that affect a key implementation outcome, reach, early in the intervention process, instead of after the intervention has already been developed.[/modal_window]


The Development of the Gulf Coast Center for Precision Environmental Health (GC-CPEH).
Govt. Funding: National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
Grant Type: Administrative Supplements for NCI-designated Cancer Centers
Submitted: April 2018
Expected Role (Effort): Translational Navigator (2.5%); PI: Walker C (BCM), Symanski E (UTHealth), Elferink CJ (UTMB)
Expected Period: 04/01/2019 to 03/31/2024

[modal_window title="CENTER FOR PRECISION ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH" invoke_title="PROJECT BRIEF" id="center-precision-environmental" show_on_load=""]The Houston-Galveston area is home to over a dozen Superfund sites and a hub for the petrochemical industry. It is also home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. Thus, both the need and opportunity for the Gulf Coast Center for Precision Environmental Health (GC-CPEH) to be a focal point and catalyst for impactful EHS research, multi-directional communication with local communities, and the engine driving translation of precision environmental health research advances to improve human health, is exceptional.The GC-CPEH includes the "Integrated Health Sciences Facility Core" (IHSFC). Translational Navigators will connect GC-CPEH Members to IHSFC expertise and services and promote translational environmental health research of the Thematic Focus Areas of the Center.[/modal_window]

Integration of Individual Residential Histories into Cancer Research: Social and Built Environment Correlates of Late Effects among Childhood Cancer Survivors.
Govt. Funding: NIH National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Grant Type: NIH Research Project Grant (R01)
Planned Submission: June 2019
Expected Role (Effort): Co-PI (TBD) with Lupo P (BCM)
Expected Period: 04/01/2020 to 03/31/2025

[modal_window title="BCM CANCER CENTER ASSESSMENT" invoke_title="PROJECT BRIEF" id="nci-supplement-dldccc" show_on_load=""]There is a growing recognition of the importance of residential histories – a record of an individual’s places of residence across his or her lifetime -- in cancer research, as part of evolving cancer data ecosystem. Residential history encapsulates a person’s multiple interactions with the social and physical environment that can result in lasting health impact and is an important factor in assessing the effects of exposures on disease onset, as demonstrated in focused studies. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support substantive investigation of the role of individual residential histories in cancer etiology and outcomes, and to encourage the development of complex analytical strategies in support of substantive investigation.
