Eligible proposals must be original and clearly describe pre-clinical, translational, clinical, or population-based research projects in the field of cancer prevention or early detection:
- If successful, research projects reduce the frequency of epithelial neoplasms: e.g., brain, head, and neck, lung, breast, prostate, uterus, cervix, ovary, esophagus, stomach, colon, pancreas, liver, skin (including melanoma), HPV-related cancers or hematologic malignancies.
- Primary prevention: reverse or inhibit the carcinogenic process through modifications to diet, tobacco use, physical activity or alcohol use, or the environment, including ultraviolet or occupational exposure.
Examples of methodology: behavioral, including the use of social media or texting, or pharmacologic (chemopreventive) or immunologic approaches.
Secondary prevention: screening and early detection.
- Examples of methodology: immunologic, molecular, genetic, or imaging (including endoscopic) techniques. Approaches using innovative technologies, including social media, health trackers, or artificial intelligence, to study topics such as how to overcome barriers to screening or to reduce disparities in screening.
