Dr. Kitty Montgomery has been awarded a five-year, $3.1 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health to lead the study: “Defining Symptom Trajectories to Inform Risk-Stratified Approaches to Symptom Management in Children with Advanced Cancer.”
The overall goal of this project is to provide Native American students enrolled in higher education with culturally congruent support and experiential learning opportunities.
This award supports projects that advance innovative translational research by either identifying broadly applicable new processes or solving common challenges in turning innovations into real-world practice or policy.
The study team will engage with a childhood cancer advisory panel to determine the acceptability of a proactive approach to symptom management in children with advanced cancer.
