New Funding Opportunities for Cancer Epidemiology Cohorts
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has a long history of supporting cancer epidemiology cohort studies. Research using data from cohort studies has helped identify environmental, behavioral, and genomic factors associated with cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality. Cohort studies have also informed interventions and guidelines to prevent or mitigate the effects of cancer and its treatment. In addition, cohort studies may include a rich resource of data and biospecimen collections from diverse populations. Further information about existing cohorts is available through the Cancer Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort Database.
In April 2022, NCI published two new funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) that will support cancer epidemiology cohorts.
- PAR-22-161 is intended to support new, prospective cancer epidemiology cohorts that address critical scientific and resource gaps, such as emerging or unique exposures in relation to cancer risk and outcomes and understudied populations.
- PAR-22-162 will support research in established cohort studies that address novel, innovative research questions across the cancer control continuum. For this FOA, established cohort studies are defined as studies that achieved their initial planned recruitment goal.
NCI’s Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) held a pre-application webinar on April 27, 2022, and a recording of the event is available
. The webinar provided an overview of the two FOAs by Drs. Tram Kim Lam and Joanne Elena, who also answered questions from the research community. Investigators interested in the FOAs are encouraged to contact Dr. Lam for questions about PAR-22-161 and Dr. Elena for questions about PAR-22-162.
EGRP’s website has additional information for investigators interested in submitting grant applications for PAR-22-161 or PAR-22-162, specifically guidance on the timeline for pre-submission meetings, required pre-submission documents, and the submission dates through the expiration of these FOAs on March 1, 2025.
