The Preparedness and Treatment Equity Coalition (PTEC) is seeking applications for the Breast Cancer Health Inequities Research Grant Program for research studies that harness the power of data to identify metrics, outcome measures, or payment models that can be used to encourage practice or policy change that decrease inequity in breast cancer screening, treatment, and outcomes.

Research supported by this CFP is not intended to be merely descriptive, but to identify inequities with breast cancer care and propose data-driven solutions.
The Preparedness and Treatment Equity Coalition (PTEC) brings together multi-sector stakeholders to advance health equity through more effective use of diagnostic tests, medicines, vaccines, and supportive care. The coalition is focused on developing evidence to guide health system delivery and payment reform. More equitable access will reduce morbidity and mortality for Black, Latinx, Asian, and Native American communities.

Requirements
Proposals should examine systemic racism as a cause of inequity in the United States healthcare system, and focus on breast cancer. They strongly encourage proposals that also examine intersectional characteristics that increase health inequity including age, disability, LGBTQ+ identities, socioeconomic status, or cultural insensitivity. Proposals may include research on other disease states as long as they demonstrate a connection to breast cancer.
Eligibility Criteria
- Based in United States or U.S. territories.
- Applicants must be research teams comprised of research institutions (academic or nonacademic), healthcare providers, and/or community-based partners. Research teams from multiple organizations must designate a primary applicant responsible for grant stewardship. Awards will not be granted to individual researchers.
- Must examine inequity in breast cancer care within the United States healthcare system. Projects proposing independent or comparative study of other healthcare systems are excluded.
