Prostate Cancer Disparities in an Incarcerated Community

Abstract

This award was essential in dissecting the cross-racial and ethnic health within an incarcerated community. Dr. Borysova gained extremely valuable postdoctoral experience which led to her being awarded an 18 month grant to continue the important work on matters of racial and ethnic health disparities and health equity. Dr. Borysova conducted the research defined herein while overcoming obstacles and learning how to navigate through issues of research environment limitations and opportunities. This grant has provided a great opportunity not only to address the initial SOW, but for the PI to learn how to limit and expand the SOW of funded research as the research environment changes. To this end the research summary provided here is accompanied with the approved modified SOW submitted with the NCE request which was approved as well. Thank you for this opportunity!
