The National Cancer Institute is offering a grant for transdisciplinary and translational research to investigate how physical activity and weight control impact cancer prognosis and survival through specific biological pathways. Research will focus on testing the effects of physical activity and weight control on biomarkers of cancer prognosis among survivors. Experimental designs like randomized controlled clinical trials are encouraged, along with a transdisciplinary approach to bring together expertise in behavioral interventions, cancer biology, and other relevant disciplines. Applications should also consider biomarkers of comorbid diseases and the aging process. Closing date for applications is September 7, 2021.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages transdisciplinary and translational research that will identify the specific biological or biobehavioral pathways through which physical activity and/or weight control (either weight loss or avoidance of weight gain) may affect cancer prognosis and survival. Research applications should test the effects of physical activity, alone or in combination with weight control (either weight loss or avoidance of weight gain), on biomarkers of cancer prognosis among cancer survivors identified by previous animal or observational research on established biomarkers other than insulin/glucose metabolism, especially those obtained from tumor tissue sourced from repeat biopsies where available. Because many cancer survivor populations will not experience recurrence but will die of comorbid diseases or may experience early effects of aging, inclusion of biomarkers of comorbid diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease) and of the aging process are also sought. Applications should use experimental designs (e.g., randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), fractional factorial designs), and will include transdisciplinary approaches that bring together behavioral intervention expertise, cancer biology, and other basic and clinical science disciplines relevant to the pathways being studied. |
