    The Department of Health and Human Services has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the "Co-infection and Cancer (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)" grant, aimed at enhancing research into the relationship between co-infections and cancer. Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and specifically from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), this initiative encourages exploratory research that investigates how concurrent or sequential infections by multiple pathogens influence carcinogenesis. The grant is not permitting clinical trials, focusing instead on novel studies and mechanistic insights. Applicants can propose various research focuses including epidemiology, biomarkers, and health disparities related to infection-associated cancers. The maximum award for a two-year project period is $275,000, with applications due starting January 16, 2025. There is no requirement for cost sharing, and eligible applicants include a range of educational institutions, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations. The purpose is to inform cancer prevention and treatment strategies by exploring underexamined pathways related to co-infections, with acknowledgement of diverse population impacts on research findings.
