No AI summary available for this file.

The funding opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aims to investigate the impacts of climate change across the cancer control continuum. The initiative seeks innovative research to understand how climate change affects cancer risks, prevention, survivorship, and concludes that it necessitates multidisciplinary collaboration involving researchers with climate change expertise. Applications may cover a diverse range of research topics, such as the relationship between climate-related environmental changes and cancer risk, the vulnerability of cancer survivors to climate-induced health effects, and strategies to enhance equitable cancer care in light of climate disruptions. The funding supports both new and renewal applications, with a maximum project period of five years and no strict budget limitation. This program encourages participation from various institutions, with a particular emphasis on institutions serving underrepresented populations. The application process requires adherence to specific instructions and compliance with eligibility criteria. This opportunity emphasizes the growing concern about climate change's effects on public health and the crucial need for targeted research and strategies to mitigate its adverse consequences on cancer care and health equity.
