Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity supports research on expectancy-generating factors and their effects on expectancies and subsequent cancer symptom management outcomes. The research aims to understand how and why expectancy effects occur in a cancer context, elucidate their role in cancer symptom management, and identify patients, symptoms, cancer sites, and contexts where expectancy effects can improve cancer outcomes. Expectancies refer to beliefs about future outcomes related to cancer or its treatment, influenced by social, psychological, environmental, and systemic factors. The solicitation encourages mechanistic research to explore these expectancy effects generated by patients, clinicians, family members, caregivers, or social networks.
