Listserv for Researchers
The Nutritional Science Research Group has developed a listserv (NUTRITIONCANCER) to alert people about research and funding opportunities.
To be added to this list serv, please send the message SUBSCRIBE NUTRITIONCANCER in the text of E-mail to LISTSERV@LIST.NIH.GOV.
More information on LISTSERV commands can be found by sending the message HELP in the text of E-mail to LISTSERV@LIST.NIH.GOV.
Chemical Carcinogen Reference Standard Repository
http://www.mriresearch.org/working_mri/nci.htm
The National Cancer Institute contracts with Midwest Research Institute (MRI) and Chemsyn Science Laboratories (CSL) to operate repositories which supply standard reference?grade compounds for cancer research. The major goal of the repositories is to provide well?characterized reference standard materials, analytical data, and health and safety information to the carcinogenesis research community.
Available for distribution through the repository are:
- over 1300 chemical carcinogens (benzopyrenes and heterocyclic amines) and chemopreventive agents
- chemical biomarkers (DNA and protein adducts)
- molecular epidemiology standards and chemical metabolites
This resource supports world-wide research programs as well as intramural NCI principal investigators.
Project and Grant Resources
For those who wish to perform searches on grants specific to your interest in nutrition, please see the links below:
- ClinicalTrials.gov
ClinicalTrials.gov provides regularly updated information about federally and privately supported clinical research in human volunteers. ClinicalTrials.gov gives you information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers.
- CRISP
A biomedical database system containing information on research projects and programs supported by the Department of Health and Human Services.
- Human Nutrition Research Information Management database
A searchable database of nutrition research and research training activities supported by the federal government.
At Other National Cancer Institute Sites
Dietary History Questionnaire
Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER).
The most authoritative source of information on cancer incidence and survival in the United States.
Mouse Models of Human Cancer
Mouse models that recapitulate many aspects of the genesis, progression, and clinical course of human cancers are valuable resources to cancer researchers engaged in a variety of basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiological investigations. The NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC) is a collaborative program designed to derive and characterize mouse models, and to generate resources, information, and innovative approaches to the application of mouse models in cancer research.
