NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES RESEARCH GROUP

Funding Opportunities

SBIR/STTR funding opportunities in the Division of Cancer Prevention

The Nutritional Science Research Group would like to extend funding opportunities to businesses that have an interest in dietary, nutrition or food related research. Businesses are encouraged to seek funding as it relates to:

Developing and Validating:

  • In vivo animal models, including transgenics and knockouts, to examine the cancer prevention effects of essential and non-essential nutrients.
  • Invertebrate models for the study of bioactive food component-gene interactions involved with cancer prevention.
  • Novel technologies for measurement of effects on differential gene expression levels and functional genomics.
  • Educational intervention software packages for women and minorities about dietary intakes and cancer prevention
  • Educational interactive software packages that focus on dietary habits and cancer prevention.
  • New and improved diagnostic markers for nutritional status.
  • New methods to detect and identify anticarcinogenic nutrients in foods.
  • New methods for the isolation and preparation or synthesis of candidate nutrients in quantities suitable for preclinical and clinical screening.
  • Valid, more facile and effective methods for assessing the content of bioactive food components in foods and dietary supplements.
  • Bioinformatics tools for the study of bioactive food components as regulators and modulators of genes associated with cancer prevention.
  • Combinations or blends of bioactive food components for cancer prevention.
