Contents
The Epidemiology and Genetics Research Program (EGRP), in the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), provides research opportunities to increase understanding of cancer etiology and prevention in human populations. EGRP supports epidemiologic research in four areas:
Modifiable Risk Factors—focusing on factors that may be modified to reduce cancer risk, such as diet and nutrition; alcohol; physical activity and energy balance; tobacco; infectious diseases; physical and chemical agents; and medical exposures, including medications and treatments;
Host Susceptibility Factors—focusing on factors that influence personal susceptibility to cancer, such as genetic, epigenetic, immunological, hormonal, and biological pathways; and social, cultural, and racial/ethnic factors;
Methods and Technologies—focusing on methods for epidemiologic data collection, study design and analysis, and development and adaptation of laboratory and technical approaches for large epidemiologic studies; and
Clinical and Translational Epidemiology—focusing on etiologic and genomic factors that influence cancer progression, recurrence, new primary cancers, survival, and other treatment outcomes, and factors associated with cancer development among individuals with underlying diseases and conditions.
