National Institute on Aging: Translational Research at the Aging/Cancer Interface (TRACI) Grant Opportunity (R21)

This grant, offered by the National Institute on Aging, supports translational research at the intersection of human aging and cancer. It aims to bridge basic and clinical research to enhance the care of older cancer patients. By fostering bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench approaches, the research funded under this initiative seeks to improve the health outcomes and quality of life of elderly individuals at risk for or dealing with cancer. The focus is on reducing functional decline and morbidity associated with cancer in this demographic. Applications are open until May 07, 2015.
