Grant Overview

Puerto Rico faces significant cancer health disparities, with higher incidence rates of certain cancers compared to the US mainland. To address these disparities, the grant funding available for cancer research and scientific innovation prioritizes projects that incorporate Hispanic-specific research methods and community-based partnerships. Eligible applicants include nonprofit academic and research institutions with a proven track record of cultural competence and a deep understanding of Puerto Rico's unique cultural and historical context. The funding supports projects that address the island's rural-urban divide, with 70% of the population residing in urban areas and 30% in rural areas. Unlike neighboring Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico's status as a US territory presents opportunities for leveraging federal funding and resources. Puerto Rico's healthcare infrastructure, including the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center, plays a critical role in cancer care for the island's population. The island's population density of 960 people per square mile and major industries, including pharmaceutical manufacturing and tourism, also impact the local economy and healthcare infrastructure. With a diverse population, including Hispanic, African American, and other groups, Puerto Rico presents a unique context for cancer research and care. Hispanic Cancer Research in Puerto Rico: A Community-Based Approach Community-based partnerships are essential to addressing cancer health disparities among Hispanic populations in Puerto Rico. The grant funding prioritizes projects that partner with local organizations, such as the Puerto Rico Department of Health and the University of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico's Cancer Care Landscape The island's cancer care landscape is characterized by limited access to specialized care, including cancer treatment and diagnosis, particularly in rural areas. The grant funding can support projects that address these gaps and improve healthcare outcomes for Hispanic populations. Who Should Apply in Puerto Rico? Nonprofit academic and research institutions with a proven track record of Hispanic-specific research and cultural competence are well-positioned to apply.
