Funding-The Role of
Health Policy and Health Insurance in Improving Access to and Performance of
Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment Services; October 15, 2014
Agency
American Cancer Society
Description
A call for research that evaluates the impact of the many
changes now occurring in the healthcare system with a particular focus on
cancer prevention, control, and treatment. Efforts focusing on improving access
to care may also impact inequities that contribute to health disparities. New
health public policy initiatives such as the new federal and state marketplaces
that have expanded insurance coverage, as well as Medicaid expansion in some
states, create natural experiments ripe for evaluation. Research to be funded
by this RFA should focus on the changes in national, state, and/or local policy
and the response to these changes by healthcare systems, insurers, payers,
communities, practices, and patients.
Closing
Date: October 15, 2014 and April 1,
2015
