| Purpose: | The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) announces this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to encourage NCI-funded investigators to apply for administrative supplement funds to support research addressing obesity for cancer prevention and control. Ongoing developments in obesity prevention indicate that using multiple policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches across the diverse sectors that influence obesity offer considerable promise, but few efforts have been made to carefully evaluate such whole of systems, or PSE, approaches. Foundational work is needed to help set the stage for investigators from academic institutions, cancer centers, other research organizations, and community partners to lead collaborative groups to organize, implement, and evaluate such approaches. Furthermore, determining which specific combination of PSE approaches are most appropriate for a specific community requires significant preparatory work. These supplements will help prepare for the next generation of obesity research oriented towards cancer prevention. |
| Receipt Date: | January 31, 2025 |
| Total Awards: | $100,000 |
| Eligibility: | Only current awardees of an active NCI-funded R01, R37, R00, P01, P30, P50, U01, UM1, UH3, U19, and/or U54 are eligible to apply.PDs/PIs must hold an active award supported through NCI with sufficient time (minimum 1 year) left to complete the proposed project after the supplement has been awarded within the existing project period.
The parent award should have a clear relationship to addressing obesity for cancer prevention and control. Requests for no-cost extensions on the parent grant to accommodate a supplement will not be permitted. If an applicant anticipates a balance of 25% or more of the current total costs for the parent grant, please contact the scientific research contact prior to applying. Only one supplement application per parent award will be accepted for consideration. For supplements to parent awards that include multiple PDs/PIs, the supplement may be requested by any or all of the PDs/PIs (in accordance with the existing leadership plan) and submitted by the awardee institution of the parent award. |
