NIH Impacts of climate change across the cancer control continuum (R21 Clinical Trial Optional) | February 16, 2025

**Some programs are limited. Please read solicitations carefully and consult your Office of Research for specifics, such as limited applications through your university and internal application deadlines.**

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to support innovative research using the R21 grant mechanism relevant to advancing the understanding of the effects of climate change on cancer risks, control, and survivorship, and ways to prevent or mitigate negative health effects. This includes, but is not limited to (i) understanding the impact of climate-related environmental changes on cancer risks, control, and health behaviors; (ii) mitigating the impacts of climate-related cancer care delivery disruptions; (iii) developing and testing behavioral interventions that reduce cancer risks and improve environmental health; and (iv) investigating and reducing health inequities resulting from direct and/or indirect effects of climate change across the cancer control continuum.

Applications submitted to this NOFO should be exploratory and novel. These studies should break new ground or extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications. Whereas this NOFO is for pilot/exploratory projects, a companion NOFO of identical scientific scope, PAR-23-153, is meant for well-developed projects supported by preliminary data.

Application Deadline: February 16, 2025
