Not mutually exclusive categories; e.g., a grant that is both prevention and detection is counted twice, as is a grant that studies both breast and prostate cancers. A grant emphasizing nutrition in breast and prostate cancer is counted in full in all three places. Dollar amounts are rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

Disparities include medically undeserved and special populations, such as the elderly and disabled.
