Description
This NIH R01 program, administered by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), supports population approaches to reducing alcohol-related cancer risk. It funds research on awareness of the alcohol–cancer relationship, social norms surrounding consumption, alcohol policy development and evaluation, and population-level intervention development, testing, and implementation. Clinical trials are optional.
Research may address any consumption level and populations including adults, adolescents, and cancer patients or survivors. Applications addressing multiple consumption levels or alcohol use disorder from a cancer prevention perspective are particularly encouraged. Priorities include understudied areas and populations experiencing cancer and alcohol-related disparities, including American Indian and Alaska Native populations. Cancer incidence or mortality endpoints are not required, but projects must connect their work to cancer prevention through the ultimate goal of reducing alcohol consumption.
