Open Cancer Research Training Award Fellowship Opportunities

Please share our Fellowship opportunities for research training in clinical & translational epidemiology and diet, weight, & physical activity assessment.

Opportunities in Obesity and Cancer Research

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), including the National Cancer Institute (NCI), funds a broad spectrum of research on obesity. Learn about new NCI obesity-focused funding opportunities, upcoming webinars, and other research resources.

Request for Information

NCI is seeking information on datasets that capture detailed measures of diet, physical activity, and sleep. The individual-level data should be collected within a similar time period, though the behaviors are not required to have been measured in the same 24-hour period. It is important to note that datasets must include 24-hour data on all three behaviors. Responses will be accepted through August 22, 2021. View NIH Guide notice NOT-CA-087 for more details.

Sleep Assessment

Learn about sleep assessment-related funding opportunity announcements; research resources, including assessment tools, data and surveys; and scientific webinars and workshops.

Food Insecurity, Neighborhood Food Environment, and Nutrition Health Disparities: State of the Science

Join NIH for a virtual nutrition health disparities research and implementation workshop on September 21-23, 2021. The goal is to review the state of the science around food insecurity and the neighborhood food environment, identify research gaps and explore innovative research strategies that could inform policies and practices.

Considerations when Developing a Data Sharing Plan

Tips for investigators on preparing data sharing plans that comply with NIH's data sharing policies.
