Description:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites investigator-initiated research
applications on energy balance in humans. These studies will focus on
research to define factors affecting energy balance and to define mechanisms
influencing cancer risk, prognosis, and quality of life. These studies may
range from new analyses of existing datasets to additional collection of data
and biological specimens in ongoing investigations. In order to be eligible
for this Program Announcement (PA), an applicant must have previously
collected measures from human subjects on two or more of the following
exposures: diet, physical activity, body composition, and/or related
biomarkers (such as blood, urine, exfoliated cells, and/or tissue samples).
It is anticipated that the knowledge gained will provide additional
information to better understand the relationships among energy balance,
cancer risk and prognosis. Competitive supplements to existing NCI-funded
grants as well as new R01s and R21s are invited.
