This funding opportunity is asking for research proposals that study how diet and fat (lipid) metabolism affect cancer growth. The goal is to understand the molecular details of how fats connect what we eat to how cancer develops and spreads. The program also wants to bring together the fields of nutrition and metabolism, encourage new tools for research, and support new scientists entering this area. Because fat chemistry is very complex, the program allows only one small figure of unpublished data so newer researchers can compete fairly.
Full Description
through this notice of funding opportunity (nofo) is to request applications that propose mechanistic investigations of the links between diet, lipid metabolism and tumor growth and progression. it is anticipated that this program will support fundamental studies designed to identify and define the molecular mechanisms through which lipid metabolism mediates tumor growth and progression, focusing specifically on the central role lipids play in linking diet with the biology of cancer; bridge the historically divided fields of nutrition and molecular metabolism; and stimulate research and tool development in this emerging area, which faces particular challenges because of the complexity of lipid biochemistry. for this announcement, unpublished preliminary data are limited to one figure, comprising no more than one-half page, to facilitate the entry of qualified new investigators to the field.
If you want to feel more confident about your application, we're here. Reach out anytime!
