Description
This opportunity, issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at NIH, invites applications for mechanistic studies investigating the links between diet, lipid metabolism, and tumor growth and progression. The program aims to support fundamental research to define the molecular mechanisms by which lipid metabolism mediates tumor biology, particularly in the context of dietary influences. The goal is to bridge the fields of nutrition and molecular metabolism and foster tool and method development in this emerging area, which is challenged by the complexity of lipid biochemistry. Applications that address health disparities or propose innovative approaches to dietary and metabolic research in cancer are encouraged.
