NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES RESEARCH GROUP

Energetics and Cancer Funding Opportunities

A new Request for Applications (RFA) was just released by NCI entitled "Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer". Applications are invited that will use a cooperative agreement (U54) mechanism to establish TREC Centers in nutrition, energetics, energy balance, and physical activity. These Centers will involve scientists from multiple disciplines and will encompass projects spanning the biology and genetics of behavioral, socio-cultural, and environmental influences on nutrition, physical activity, weight, energy balance and energetics. Information about this RFA can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-05-010.html

In addition, the NCI is requesting applications for a Coordinating Center to foster collaborations among transdisciplinary teams of scientists, to facilitate data analyses, to examine common research questions across sites, to coordinate and facilitate semi-annual meetings of the TREC Centers, to develop training modules, and to evaluate progress, with the goal of accelerating progress toward reducing cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality associated with obesity, low levels of physical activity, and poor diet. More information about the Coordinating Center can be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-05-011.html

Finally, a Pre-application conference call for the TREC Centers is planned for Monday, August 16 from 2-4:30 EST (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-CA-04-010.html).

For more information about these RFAs please contact Dr. Linda Nebeling at 301-451-9530 or nebelinl@mail.nih.gov.
