Call for applications! The Confluence of Cancer Stigma and HIV Stigma in HIV-positive Individuals Diagnosed with Cancer

October 17, 2024

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) announces a funding opportunity from the Behavioral Research Program in the Division of Cancer Control & Population Sciences. Through this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) as a request for applications (RFA), the NCI intends to support research that expands the current understanding of the confluence of cancer stigma and HIV stigma among 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.
