National Institutes of Health Grant: Investigating Environmental Influences on Breast Cancer Risk

This grant offered by the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program aims to enhance understanding of environmental and genetic factors affecting breast cancer risk. Researchers will explore the impact of environmental exposures during critical windows of susceptibility on breast cancer risk, using transdisciplinary approaches. The projects will integrate experimental models and human studies to uncover mechanisms of environmental influence on breast cancer, potentially leading to prevention strategies. Community-academic partnerships with engagement activities are crucial components of the applications. Closing date for submissions is January 28, 2015.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The overarching goal of the Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program (BCERP) is to support integrated scientific research to enhance our knowledge of environmental and genetic factors underlying breast cancer risk. This funding opportunity will support transdisciplinary research projects to investigate the influence of environmental exposures during specific time windows of susceptibility on breast cancer risk. Applicants must propose transdisciplinary research project that addresses one or more potential windows of susceptibility and facilitates the integration of experimental model and human studies to accelerate understanding of the contribution of environmental factors to breast cancer risk, the underlying mechanisms, and potential prevention strategies. Applications must also include community-academic partnerships with defined community engagement activities.
