Description
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is encouraging grant applications to support research in cancer epidemiology cohort studies. This funding opportunity aims to address specific knowledge gaps in cancer etiology and survivorship. Applications should include hypothesis-based research and support for cohort maintenance, continued follow-up, and sharing of data and biospecimen resources. The goal is to reduce cancer risk, incidence, morbidity, and mortality, and enhance quality of life in cancer survivors.
Key aspects of this opportunity include:
• Research in cancer epidemiology cohort studies
• Hypothesis-based research
• Support for cohort infrastructure and maintenance
• Continued follow-up and data sharing
• Collaboration with other NCI-sponsored programs and investigators
• Annual meetings to discuss progress and project goals
