    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is offering a funding opportunity titled "Mechanisms that Impact Cancer Risk after Bariatric Surgery (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)." This grant aims to support innovative, investigator-initiated studies that explore how bariatric surgery influences cancer risk, moving beyond traditional short-term outcomes such as weight loss and diabetes management. Given the rising prevalence of obesity and the increasing number of bariatric surgeries performed in the U.S., this research is crucial for identifying new pathways for cancer prevention. The grant provides funding of up to $275,000 over two years, with applications due by January 16, 2025, and additional cycles available through 2026. For further inquiries, interested applicants can contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov or visit the opportunity's webpage at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-25-044.html.

    PAR-25-044.html
    The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has issued a funding opportunity focused on researching mechanisms by which bariatric surgery may impact cancer risk, particularly looking to go beyond short-term outcomes like weight loss. This R21 Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-25-044) aims to support innovative studies to understand how bariatric surgery influences cancer risk and potentially identifies new pathways for cancer prevention. Investigators are encouraged to explore surgical effects on cancer, as existing data is largely speculative. The application process allows for submissions targeting proof-of-concept studies, emphasizing novel mechanisms rather than relying on pre-existing data. The budget for projects can reach up to $275,000 over two years, and applications are due by January 16, 2025, with further cycles extending through 2026. The initiative acknowledges the increasing prevalence of obesity and bariatric surgeries in the U.S., which can reduce risks associated with certain cancers. Collaborative efforts with experts outside traditional cancer research fields are encouraged. As the document states, research must be deeply rigorous, aligning with NIH policies while evaluating potential cancer pathways influenced by surgical procedures.
