Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 08 141
The National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and Office of Dietary Supplements have announced a grant opportunity focused on understanding how in utero exposure to bioactive food components and environmental chemicals affects mammary cancer risk. This initiative encourages innovative preclinical research that explores the links between dietary exposures during pregnancy, hormonal responses, gene and epigenetic changes, and the risk of developing breast cancer later in life.
The aim is to identify specific dietary components and environmental agents that may influence cancer prevention, despite existing knowledge gaps regarding doses, susceptibility windows, and mechanisms. Researchers are encouraged to utilize advanced technologies such as genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches to examine these relationships.
Funded through the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) mechanism, the project can last up to two years, with a maximum budget of $275,000 in direct costs, and no more than $200,000 in any single year. The total number of awards is uncertain, as it depends on available funds and the quality of applications submitted.
Eligible applicants include individuals with the necessary expertise and institutions mentioned in the announcement. Applications may involve multiple principal investigators, and researchers can submit more than one application, provided each submission is distinct. Resubmissions are accepted but must address previous peer review feedback, while renewals for ongoing projects will not be accepted.Apply for PA 08 141
