Prioritizing Molecular Targets for Cancer Prevention with Nutritional Combinations (R01)
http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/getRec?id=104586

2/5/08, 6/5/08, 10/5/08. R01 Award

Projects proposed in response to this announcement must focus on either multiple dietary bioactive components, intact foods, and/or multiple foods utilizing physiologically relevant concentrations of the bioactive agents. The objective is to investigate the impact of dietary components on complex cellular and molecular networks to better understand the basis for the multifaceted interactions of food components in cancer prevention. Proposed projects should apply new high-throughput genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and metabolomic technologies to either evaluate multiple molecular targets within a cancer process or multiple processes.

2/5/08, 6/5/08, 10/2/08  

Size and duration of each award will vary.

Research supported by this initiative could address one of the following issues: how bioactive food components regulate epigenetic events for cancer prevention, how bioactive food components might alter aberrant epigenetic patterns or events and restore gene function, and how these components might circumvent or compensate for genes and pathways that are altered by epigenetic events.  See URL for more information.

Studies of Energy Balance and Cancer in Humans (R01)

http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/getRec?id=87595

2/5/08, 6/5/08, 10/5/08

These studies will focus on research to define factors affecting energy balance and to define mechanisms influencing cancer risk, prognosis, and quality of life. These studies may range from new analyses of existing datasets to additional collection of data and biological specimens in ongoing investigations. Applicants submitting applications in response to this FOA must have previously collected measures from human subjects on two or more of the following exposures: diet, physical activity, body composition, and/or related biomarkers (e.g., blood, urine, exfoliated cells, and/or tissue samples), and they should thoroughly address sample size(s) and power issues in their applications to ensure the statistical validity of results to be obtained in the proposed studies

Exploratory Cancer Prevention Studies Involving Molecular Targets for Bioactive Food Components (R21)

http://fundingopps.cos.com/cgi-bin/fo2/getRec?id=107548

6/16/08, 10/16/08, 2/16/09

R21, $275,000 over 2 yrs.

Purpose is to foster exploratory and developmental research on important topics in nutrition and cancer prevention. Specifically, to promote cancer prevention research focused on the identification and characterization of molecular targets for bioactive food components. A bioactive food component is defined as a dietary constituent that has a health benefit by altering one or more cellular processes when provided in quantities over and beyond that needed for basic nutrition.
