Description
This opportunity from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, solicits applications for mechanistic investigations into the links between diet, lipid metabolism, and tumor growth and progression. The goal is to support fundamental studies that define the molecular mechanisms by which lipid metabolism mediates tumor growth, with a particular focus on how dietary variables influence cancer biology.
Projects should bridge the gap between nutrition science and molecular metabolism, stimulate research tool development in this complex field, and may address health disparities. Clinical trials are not permitted under this announcement.
