Description |
The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, National Cancer Institute, invites applications for cooperative agreements to support the establishment of a Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC) Coordination Center. This Coordination Center will support the TREC Centers, which focus upon the research areas of nutrition, energetics, energy balance, and physical activity. The primary missions of the Coordination Center is 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. The TREC Centers will encompass projects that range from the biology and genetics of energy balance to the behavioral, socio-cultural, and environmental influences on nutrition, physical activity, weight, energy balance, and energetics. |
