    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers a funding opportunity titled "Co-infection and Cancer" through the National Cancer Institute (NCI), aimed at enhancing research into the connections between co-infections and cancer development. The funding focuses on exploring mechanisms and epidemiology related to co-infections, particularly those involving known oncogenic agents (excluding HIV), to better understand their roles in cancer etiology and potential prevention strategies. Key deadlines include an open date of January 5, 2023, with subsequent application due dates throughout 2023 and 2024. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, non-profits, for-profit organizations, and government entities. The award does not support clinical trials, and while budgets are not capped, they must reflect genuine project needs. Research areas of interest include infection etiology, mechanistic studies surrounding cancer progression, and health disparities among diverse populations. Applications that solely focus on HIV co-infection or single pathogens will not be reviewed. The initiative reflects NIH's commitment to advancing cancer research through understanding the interplay of infections and their implications on health outcomes.
