The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Mechanisms that Impact Cancer Risk with Use of Incretin Mimetics (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)." This initiative aims to promote exploratory research into the biological mechanisms by which incretin mimetics, particularly GLP-1 and dual GLP-1/GIP-1 receptor agonists, influence cancer risk, with a focus on understanding their effects beyond diabetes treatment. The funding, which amounts to a maximum of $275,000 over two years, is intended to attract diverse researchers and institutions to fill significant gaps in current cancer biology research. Interested applicants should note that the application submission period begins on January 16, 2025, and can find further details and guidelines at the NIH grants website or by contacting NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov.
