NCI Research Grant: Mechanisms Linking Bariatric Surgery to Cancer Risk

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is seeking research proposals to investigate how bariatric surgery influences cancer risk. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI) - Scope of Work: - Investigator-initiated research focused on mechanisms linking bariatric surgery to cancer risk - Emphasis on proof of concept, feasibility, and exploratory development studies - Studies on short-term outcomes (e.g., weight loss, diabetes) are explicitly excluded - No unpublished preliminary data permitted; only references and data from preprints with a DOI are allowed - Eligibility: - Open to government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofits, small businesses, and certain foreign organizations - Products/Services Requested: - No specific products or OEMs; this is a grant for research services - Notable Requirements: - Research must focus on mechanistic links between bariatric surgery and cancer, not on immediate post-surgical outcomes - Applications must adhere to data and reference requirements - Funding Instrument: - Grant (not a contract for goods or specific services)

Description

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for investigator-initiated studies to investigate mechanisms by which bariatric surgery impacts cancer risk. The focus is on proof of concept studies for feasibility and exploratory development, excluding shorter term outcomes like weight loss and diabetes. Feasibility must not have been previously developed in literature or preliminary data. Unpublished data are not permitted, but references and data from widely available preprints with a DOI are acceptable.
